LitPick Review
Tommy Latrella is expected by everyone to be exactly like
his older brother, Jimmy. People just don't seem to
realize that Tommy and Jimmy are different. Jimmy died a
hero 9/11 and Tommy lives in his shadow. Tommy, who goes
by Latrella, decides to run away to Las Vegas to play
poker. But first, he wants to make himself look like a
hero. When Latrella's prank in a New York City subway
station goes horribly wrong, the subway system decides to
bring him back in time to 1918. Over the course of the
story Latrella visits several different time periods.
Will he survive 1918, 1932, and 1942? Will he discover
what it means to be a true hero? Read Backtracked by Pedro
de Alcantara to find out!
Opinion:
Backtracked was an interesting
read for me. I enjoyed the mix of past and present times.
There were a few boring parts, though. There also were a
few paragraphs that got a little too religious for me. I
could relate to some parts of the story because it took
place in time periods that I learned about and Latrella
visited some historical sites. People who are interested
in history, like me, would most likely enjoy Backtracked.
Backtracked is a good book.
