my mother the cheerleader- victoria

The book that i'm reading is called, My Mother The Cheerleader and it is a novel by Robert Sharenow. In this novel the mother of Louise is Charlotte, who is a "cheerleader" that helps protest with society. They lived in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans with her mother in a boarding house. A guy named Morgan Miller stays there for a couple of nights, and puts an impact on both Louise and Charlotte's lives. I didn't like this book because I couldn't tell what was happening because different things would happen so fast when I was just settling down on what just happened and it didn't make a lot of sense to me. I had to reread a couple of things to understand. What I liked about this book was it was very specific and gave you every little detail about what was going on. I would recommend this book to anyone 14+ because it can be hard to understand and you would need to know events in history to fully understand this novel. People who love history and old fashioned things would love this book. This book would be rated 3 stars to me, but probably 4 or 5 stars to someone who loves these types of books. In my opinion, you should not read this book because it can be very boring and each event drags on. If you're very good at history, I recommend this book to you. I enjoyed this book a little when I understood what was going on.
