Rendition Conducive To Books Leverage

The football field is a battlefield

There's an extraordinary price for victory at Oregrove High. It is paid on - and off - the football field. And it claims its victims without mercy - including the most innocent bystanders.

When a violent, steroid-infused, ever-escalating prank war has devastating consequences, an unlikely friendship between a talented but emotionally damaged fullback and a promising gymnast might hold the key to a school's salvation.

Told in alternating voices and with unapologetic truth, Leverage illuminates the fierce loyalty, flawed justice, and hard-won optimism of two young athletes.

Write Up Epithetical Books Leverage

A few things here I'd like to mention. First, a trigger warning: rape. I realize this may be a pretty big spoiler, but since it is the cause of most of my reactions, I'm throwing it out there right away, and it's my review space anyway so shut up.Rape is the kind of thing I have the hardest time reading about. To me it seems even more invasive than murder. It's breaking someone down until they're completely broken. I don't like it. With that being said, I know it is (sadly) an extremely common

Leverage was all right. There are definite gold nuggets within this book that I loved, but weighed down with those nuggets are not just plot holes but reality holes. I will explain what I mean in my actual review, which you will find after this warning...**Major Spoiler Alert** **Major Spoiler Alert** **Major Spoiler Alert****This entire review is a SPOILER. If you don't want to know the plot of the story, don't read this, just know that I thought Leverage was okay, but it's not something that

2011 is going to be such a great year for books. I went to the ALA meeting last week and just the sight of this cover reached out and grabbed me. The book did not disappoint, although based on the backcover blurb part of me expected some kind of romance between a football player and a gymnast. God was I wrong, but in a good way. Gut-wrenching drama aptly describes this coming-of-age story about two young men, opposites in so many ways except for their need to uncover the courage inside

When a feud over weight training room privileges escalates between the gymnastics team and the football team at the high school, a question of morality, ethics, and doing the right thing becomes all encompassing for members of these teams. Danny, a promising gymnast and Kurt, a gifted football player who has seen way too much in his young life, create a bond that gives them the strength to stand up to murderous, lying bullies. Danny and his teammate, Bruce are witness to a brutal attack on one

It is hard to know where to exactly begin... Joshua C. Cohen's debut novel is anything and everything BUT disappointing. I honestly cannot come up with a negative thing to say about this amazing, outstanding, one of kind, unique novel. There is so much to say about this book that I am going to have to break it down into parts....To start, a basic overview...Kurt is the new football star at Oregrove High School. Danny is on the Oregrove gymnastics team. Both boys have a past, full of sorrow and

The Short Version:Gritty, intense and emotional, Leverage is a striking blend of friendship, bullying, and coming of age. With two stunningly well developed male protagonists and a setting that is easy for any reader to relate to and understand, there are some poignant and gutting truths presented throughout, both blatantly and subtly. Though upper YA in content and language, and holding some scenes that are hard to stomach, Leverage holds nothing back when it comes to realism and impact.The

Absolutely powerful. I haven't cried this much or felt so sick to my stomach since Some Girls Are (which is an excellent readalike). However, the end really bummed me out, which is why this isn't a 5-star. It felt way too cliche, too obvious. Because this kind of stuff doesn't stop.
