Opinion:
"Fighter's Alley" was a predictable book because when I was about halfway through I could tell what would happen at the end. The book is not too, too exciting, but is something to read if you’re bored. It is nothing special and very short (I finished in less than a day and a half). The characters were not very relatable to me; I didn’t feel like they were believable. I would recommend this book to boys ages ten through twelve because the book is mainly about boxing, some of the words are a little hard for younger kids, and I don‘t think it would catch the attention of kids over twelve.
