Chocolate War READ

The book list for this summer is generated from the books I can teach my 8th graders in my honor's class.  I know all the stories but have actually only read a few of the books.

 I started with the Chocolate War.

OK i remember reading this book long long ago. I remember Loving the author and reading more. I remember the book being good.

 All of theses things are still true. 

I Do Not remember the phrase jacking off on page five and continued reference. This being a book about Catholic school boys I guess I should have not been shocked. So If I do not make it a big deal then it is not one and the riveting story of friendship, hate and social influences for boys becoming men unfolds. A sad story that does not give you satisfaction at the end. 

Yet it is a wonderful read.
