Gym Candy - Pat Murphy

For the book project I decided to pick Gym Candy. I am kind of behind because I finally just got the book so I am going to have to read it in a matter of two weeks which is fine because it is about everything I love. It’s about a boy named Mick Johnson. It begins off with Mick explaining his early years and how he was introduced into football. I believe this book is going to be very interesting, because I read an online summary which says it’s about a kid who had the decision between not playing on the football team or taking steroids and maybe playing college football and making it big. Unfortunately, I believe that if I was in this situation and steroids would truly get me where I wanted to go I probably would take them. But thank god I have never needed anything like that or even have gotten into this situation in my life. I am really curious what it takes for him to realize he doesn’t need the drugs and where he goes from his high school football team. This same thing happened to a lot of my friends in high school and this really would let me know their insight on the subject without actually asking them why, or what happened. I am extremely siked for this book and I already know it is going to be a good read.
