As I look down I see blood dripping everywhere. The book Brothers in Arms by Paul Langan is a realistic fiction novel. This book is about a teenage boy that always used to hang out with gang members and though that he was really cool, until a big accident happen. Someone killed this teenager’s brother and now he is looking for revenge.

Martin Luna is in a big problem. One month ago, someone killed his little brother. Now he has a depressed mom, a teacher that is trying to help him, a pretty girl named vicky on one side, and on the other side he has his old gang member fiends and his revenge. But Martin is just stuck in the middle of everything. He has to choose if he should report the guy that killed his brother or if he should kill him. If he reports the guy he would have no more trouble and he would stop making his mom worry so much, but if he kills the guy he would end up in jail and make his mom suffer even more.

This book was written for young adults. The story looks real because this could happen to any teenager. The writing style is simple and it makes sense. This book is really entertaining because it has a lot of things that grabs the reader and makes them want to read more. For example the book has a lot of drama, action, and emotions. I would recommend this book because it is worth reading.
