Judging A Book By Its Cover 2

            A well known saying is “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”  I think this is wrong.  The book my mother is reading has a boring two colored cover.  The book doesn’t look interesting for me to read at all and my mother agrees that I probably wouldn’t enjoy the book.  The book that I have chosen to read next, NERDS 2: M IS FOR MAMA’S BOY has a funny and colorful cover.  The cover shows five of the characters that seem to be having a good time.  This cover makes the book look good to me.
            Also I think a book’s title can help draw you into that book.  This book is the second book in the NERDS series and I think I am going to enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed the first book. Also the subtitle has something to do with my life.  Some people call me a mama’s boy because my mom does this, that and the other thing for me.  I think she is just being helpful and showing that she loves me.  My friends think that they are teasing me but I don’t let that bother me.  Are you a mama’s boy or have you ever been called one?  I can’t wait to see how the title fits into the book. 
            In writing a series it is important to have the same characters in the following books.  Once a reader becomes attached to a character they are more likely to read the next book. They are going to want to find out what happens to the heroes and the villains.  I think Duncan Dewey, Ruby Pette, Julio Escala, Matilda Choi, Jackson Jones, and Heathcliff Hodge are going to be the same as they were in NERDS.  I think Heathcliff is going to cause havoc and the nerds are going to have to stop him.  I wonder how the characters are going to change from NERDS to NERDS 2.
            After reading two nonfiction books about personal tragedies and hard ache: Lou Gehrig’s battle with MLS and Matt Long’s struggle to overcome being run over by a bus, I look forward to reading a funny and meaningless fiction book.  I hope NERDS 2 is just the book to read and enjoy.
