Over six years ago, the book All American Boys, by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely, was published. Set in a modern high school, all American boys Rashad Butler and Quinn Collins both face very different yet very traumatic events. Quinn Collins witnessing a black boy with the name of Rashad Butler being brutally assaulted by a cop, being pummeled in to the sidewalk over and over. The cop was Paul Galluzo, Quinn’s best friend’s older brother. Who is Quinn going to tell? What is going to happen to Paul? What’s going to happen to Rashad? 

In my opinion this book was very thrilling at the start. But it takes you along in waves. Some parts are boring, but then there are other parts that are so thrilling keeping you on your toes. At the beginning of the book, my interest hit its peak. I think the authors did a great job on portraying these characters with their words. Overall, I think that this book is very good and talks about very very important issues and what is going on in the world. This book has many things that may be a bit mature for some people, but I would recommend this book to people who can handle mature content such as mature language and racial issues. Overall, I give would give this book 3/5 stars.
