Nothing But the Truth
by Avi
I had to read this for school, and honestly I did not go into it with high expectations. I assumed it would be a very simple, easy read that I wouldn't find much interest in. It did turn out to be an easy read, but it did have complexity. This book was a sure page turner, which I can honestly say after completing it in one sitting.
While I did not like the main character, the plot, in my opinion, was very realistic and intriguing. It shows how things can get out of hand, stories get twisted, especially by people with agendas such as a budget being passed. The student and the administrators somewhat twisted the truth, and a teacher took the blame unwillingly. It was interesting to watch the whole thing unfold. Things such as the initial insident in this book shouldn't be made into political matters, though maybe suspention was uncalled for (though the teacher was not on board with it.) That should have been the end of the issue, given the student a detention maybe instead of a suspention. I found the ending to be very realistic, and unlike others I liked it, though I'm not sure that's the correct word. Maybe it's better to say I appreciated it. The last line did clear up a question I had running in my head for quite some time, and I enjoyed the drama of it's presentation.
In conclusion, this was thoroughly an enjoyable read for me, and I'm obviously glad it was chosen for my summer reading list.
