When
I read what Jesus Jackson was supposed to be about, I couldn’t
wait to start reading this novel. I love that the main character
“Jonathan” is a teen and I think it will make
young adults more willing to read it and possibly like the
story. Although it seems more like it’s written for
young adults I think adults will really enjoy the story as
well, mainly because unlike most books out this book isn’t
about sex and relationships. I found it be refreshing to read
a book that mainly dealt with finding out the truth about
what really happened to “Jonathan” and about the
boy finding his faith and questioning what he always assumed
about religion.
I really
like the way Mr. Daley wrote Jesus Jackson; anyone can relate
to the character in some way whether you’re male or
female. While reading this book and about “Jonathan”
I could remember when I was in high school and remember the
feelings and even the questions I had at the time about my
faith as well as questions about things that were going on
around me and I completely understood how the character felt!
I like the way the author made “Jonathan’s”
friend “Jesus Jackson” more hip, but understanding
and nice as well. I really enjoyed this book and I feel it
would make a good series for preteens especially. I think
Mr. Daley has a promising future as an author and I would
love to read more novels by him. Out of a score of 10 I give
Mr. Daley and this book a “9.” |
