I saw Rhyme Schemer circling my recommendations a few months ago and soon after, I saw that one library I went to had this one so I immediately seized the opportunity to get it by picking it up. Afterwards, I picked it up and read it but when I finished it I only thought it was an okay piece of literature.
It starts with the first person I see, Kevin, whose last name remains undisclosed who spends the opening pages thinking about who will he bully, much to my dismay. I took a immediate disliking to him at first but eventually he is not what he seems to be at first glance. Soon enough the school suspended Kevin for his actions and I thought he deserved that but after I read a few pages Kevin shows a side I previously knew nothing of: his poetry. He likes to take words from existing texts and make new creations out of it which I found fascinating. Rhyme Schemer shines in its character development involving Kevin and the engaging pacing which never made me put the book down. However, the author didn't give as much attention to the other people in Rhyme Schemer, which was such a missed opportunity as I wanted to connect with them as well. The ending is dramatic.
