Reflection

I enjoyed reading "The Chocolate War". It was an interesting book that was unpredictable. The main character Jerry is a normal high school student that plays football. The Vigils are a gang that kind of rule the kids in the school. There is an annual chocolate sale coming up and the Vigils are asked to help out with it since the expectations are doubled this year. Jerry receives an assignment from the Vigils to refuse the chocolates for 10 days, he does this but doesn't stop after the 10 days. At first everyone is on his side because he is aggravating the teacher that everyone dislikes, but eventually the Vigils get everyone to basically make him miserable. Overall the book is good, I liked how it was hard to predict what was going to happen next. I would recommend this book for any teenager and adults.
