My summer reading book, The Blind Side, was really
boring to me because I did not like all the statistics it gave. The book was
more of a documentary than a novel or story. I was expecting a story and was
very disappointed. The theme of this book is to do what is best for you.
Michael Oher was at a time in his life when he was deciding on what college to
attend. He was under the pressure of so many people with so many opinions. He
needed to do what was best for him. In the end that is what he did. He decided
to go to the University of Mississippi. “On February 1, 2005, Michael Oher held
a press conference to announce where he intended to go to college. He faced a
bank of microphones and explained how he’d decided to go to Ole Miss. To hear
him talk, you’d have thought he’d descended from generations of Ole Miss
Rebels”(Lewis 195).

book as well as the author’s gift for storytelling
