Always Running by Luis J. Rodriguez is a story about a young kid in a gang in L.A. In my opinion of this book I really enjoyed it. It is one of the books that I’ve read, and I got really interested in it really quick. People start in the wrong path at first but for some reason or even for someone they get back on the right one. This book has been one of the best books ever that I have come across, Luis J. Rodriquez made my mind picture every little detail in the book, and it was just as if I was right there. There were many good things in the book I liked, but also things I didn’t like.

Always Running is now officially one of my favorite books I have read. There are many things I like about it. It made me feel as if I was right in front of everything. He had good writing in every page, and made me picture everything step by step. It made a good point and sent a good message. It showed me to never even think about getting into a gang, or even do drugs like they did in the book. I believe anyone who would read this book it would make them think twice about even joining a gang. It showed that being in a gang is wrong and it could ruin your life and even your own family. Every fight that happened in the book was so real in my mind and it seemed as if I was right in front of them.

As you can see there were many good facts about the book. Where there is good there is also bad things. For example I would not like if this books gets to a children under 12 because this book talked about many things that little kids should not be reading [ if you know what I mean]. Well it also had many bad language, but I could understand that because It was the life of a young man in a gang in LA, and these people that were a part of this life/gangs called this life “LA VIDA LOCA“ [ the crazy life!].

The characters in the story were very bad people, and evil, but they made me think about many things, and I really enjoyed how they made me picture everything they did, and said. The author described every single person very well, and he also described very well what each and every person did, and said. He made it seem as if anyone who reads this would make that person think about the difference between right and wrong, and even make them think about the choices they make in life, and in the gang world they chose to be in.

In conclusion Always Running is a very good book, I would really recommend it to anyone, and even my own friends. It made me think about many things and made me think about my choices I make towards life, and to my family, and towards myself. It also showed that being in a gang is not the way to live, and if your in a gang you should think about twice, because all that you would be doing is hurting people including your family, and doing drugs, even murdering. It showed how someone could start off in the wrong dangerous path ware you make the wrong choices, say the wrong things, and you may even come across death on that path, and that person could still turn around and walk away from all that and turn your life around.
