Books like Chasing Destiny

Valerie Oyibo Chasing DestinyChasing destiny is a book of love, tragedy, and happiness all in one. The book is breath taking throughout. That is what keeps me reading this book. The first thing that caught my ears in the book is how up to date it is. So it’s very easy for me to keep along on what’s going on in this book. There were so many things going on in this book. So many emotions running through my head, lugubrious, ecstatic, aghast, and deviating. My favorite character in this book would be a 15 year old girl named Destiny. She is the main character in my book. And what I love about her is the way she handles things. She’s a little bit gangster that’s why I like her. For example Destiny was raped by 12 guys in this book. So she hunted down the people that she saw of that disturbing night, and gave them what they deserved. My least favorite character in the book is a 36 year old female, named Carmen. She is more of an evil type of person, she always going after people trying to mess up their life’s. For example Carmen ran over a pregnant woman just because she was talking to her EX husband. I think the author wrote this book because he wanted everyone to know how things really happen in this world. That everything isn’t so nice and happy. That people have problems, and sometimes problems lead into serious encounters. To majorly hurting someone to killing. And I think he just wanted us to know what happens in the hood. One part in this book that really got my attention is when Destiny was on a hunt looking for all the people that had anything to do with raping her. So she found one boy that was video taping the rape and she stole his brand new car and also shot him the nuts. My favorite line in this book would be. “Baby Phat?” “Shhh. God is talking to me”. “Uh…uh…what God over there saying?” Finger tight on the trigger, she pushed the gun deeper into his groin. “God said,” Destiny whispered, “this is just bidness.” She pulled the trigger, red blood ran and flowed. I recommend this book to my boy friend Denzell King because he really doesn’t like reading that much. But this book is really good and I know it will keep him captivated so much that he will love reading when he get done reading this book. If this book was made into a movie then I would want to be Destiny because she is a very strong person in this book. And I love the fire in her.
