Commentary In Favor Of Books Trash
In an unnamed Third World country, in the not-so-distant future, three “dumpsite boys” make a living picking through the mountains of garbage on the outskirts of a large city. One unlucky-lucky day, Raphael finds something very special and very mysterious. So mysterious that he decides to keep it, even when the city police offer a handsome reward for its return. That decision brings with it terrifying consequences, and soon the dumpsite boys must use all of their cunning and courage to stay ahead of their pursuers. It’s up to Raphael, Gardo, and Rat—boys who have no education, no parents, no homes, and no money—to solve the mystery and right a terrible wrong. Andy Mulligan has written a powerful story about unthinkable poverty—and the kind of hope and determination that can transcend it. With twists and turns, unrelenting action, and deep, raw emotion, Trash is a heart-pounding, breath-holding novel.Itemize Books Supposing Trash

Three boys Gardo,Raphael, and Rat find something in the trash and now have to solve the mystery and where it will lead them. I enjoyed how this book had many Turing and unsuspecting twists. This book got me sucked in and didn't want to even put it down. I also enjoyed the Characters in this book and how outgoing they are. However I did dislike some things in this book such as how quickly the ending went by, I wish the author explained more toward the end of the book with more details. I alsoThe book Trash is a good book and it has some action in it too. Trash makes me think what if I was one of those kids picking up trash not getting pay a lot of money and trying to support your family at the same time. This book showed me what poor really was now I know that my family isn't poor there in the middle. Gardo I can relate to because we are kinda alike in some thing like he's strong, ain't scared to protect your friend, and he's always is there for Raphael. Gardo is like a brother to
Raphael, Gardo and Rat want to solve the mystery of the wallet, but the police are after them so they figure out ways to outsmart the police. One thing I liked is when the police couldn't get the kids. I also like when the kids threw all the money all over the trash. Lastly, I liked the ending. One thing I did not like is when the police were grabbing Raphael in the police station. Another thing I didn't like is that the police were trying to get the wallet. In my opinion, it's a good book. It
I know I am over-excited by any book I read, and I know I always say I love a book and that everyone should read it. I know that. But right now, when I am going to say what I am going to say about this book, you need to forget anything I have ever said on any book I ever reviewed on this blog.I may love werewolves, fantasy, dystopian universes, funky writing styles and kick-ass heroines but all of this is irrelevant and superfluous. If you read one book this year, just a single one, make sure
Brilliant, wonderful, great fun. Not a large book, just around 200+ pages, but like our diminutive central characters, BIG on just the right amount of enjoyment, suspense, adventure and a whole lot of heart. Reminded me of my school-days of blissful times with daring juvenile mystery-adventures. Our tiny heroes are dirty dumpsite boys, the lowest of the low of a fictional poor third-world country, but they proved again and again in every page that it was the rich, corrupt, 'big' people who were
While this book started off good it went downhill. I overall did not like this book very though it was cool how it showed the perspective of people who live in junkyards. I honestly would not have finished it if I hadn't had to for book club.
