Me, Myself and Ike Book Review

K.L. Denman's book, Me, Myself and Ike, is probably the best book the I have read lately.

A theme of this book would be that you don't always have to do what you are told. In the book, Kit Latimer's friend Ike, tells Kit to do many things. Some of these things were to steal a Blackberry from a store. Kit has hesitations about it but then follows through with the plan and stole the phone. Ike also tells Kit to break into his parent's liquor cabinet and get vodka out of it, Kit does so. Listening to others can sometimes be good but there are too many times that it is bad, so always go with your gut feeling and do what is right.

In this book the main character is Kit Latimer. He is a teenage boy that used to be happy. He had a wonderful girlfriend and he was close to his friends, and extremely close to his family. Now Kit is under the influences of Ike. Ike is very persuasive in convincing Kit to do bad things. Kit once a good kid, now has a secret from everyone except Ike. Ike is going along with Ike in his secret mission.They both do some bad things in order to complete the mission.

I can make a few connections to this book. In this book Kit falls into the trap of peer pressure. Peer pressure is a very big thing in this world right now. Everyday everyone is tempted to do something that they may necessarily may not want to do. For example, Last week I witnessed a guy trying to convince his friend to steal an item from a gas station. Its against the law and the friend knew better than to do it. Kit stole the Blackberry from the phone store and he knew it was wrong and was very paranoid about it.

I would recommend this book to everyone. It is a very easy book to read and it is short. For short book lovers, this would be a great book for them to read. Even to people that like longer books, this will still be a good book. This is a very good book and I would not mind reading it again.
