Nailed – a review by Curtis McNeill

Nailed by Patrick Jones
***** stars

In the book Nailed the main character is Bret Hendricks a student at Flint Southwestern High school. He doesn’t fit into his school where people who play sports are more important. He’s bullied by baseball player Hitchings constantly in class. He’s in a band called Radio Free Lint with his friends Sean and Alex. His father doesn’t understand him; he spends more time with his vintage red Camaro. The only one who truly understands him is his girlfriend Kylee Edmonds. But soon things start to fall apart around him and he finds help from some people who he would never imagine.

I personally loved this book because Jones makes it seem like I’m there with Bret through out the book. I would definitely recommend this book to others it is very good. The author Jones also wrote another book called Things Change I shall read that book next. But Nailed is a book that stands alone but I do wish it was series so I could just read a little bit more. Because all of the characters are great! Also if you liked this book you might like Skate it also deals with a teenage boy who doesn’t fit into his high school. The genre for this book is a mix of romance and teen angst. It’s a perfect book for high school students because you can connect to the characters.
