Summary: extreme blow out
Comment: ...The book Bronx Masquerade is so far the best book i've ever read.Even though my sixth grade class ...has not finished reading the book almost everyone loves this book. If you are reading this then I strongly urge you to buy this book.This book has a extremely realistic plot.I have to say my favorite character of this book is Tyron.I say this because he acts like a actual person in Brooklyn.It also has real problems that would happen in a school.So this is the end of my review of the book Bronx Masquerade By:Nikki Grimes.If possible i would have gave this book 10 stars but they only let you give 5, but it deserves every one.A awsome book.

Summary: Blown away!
Comment: I am a sixth grade language arts teacher and an amateur poet, and I must say that Bronx Masquerade is one of the most phenomenal books I have read in my humble 26 years of existence on the face of this earth! I read the entire book in one sitting (about four hours) because I couldn't put it down!
Nikki Grimes is definitely a jewel of a writer. She demonstrates serious skill and talent as a writer by creating poetry and prose from 18 different and quite distinct personalities, and she makes it sound so um, um, good! Grimes' poetry is a very real and absolutely awesome depiction of the power, frankness, and infectious nature of spoken word poetry. As my students would say, her writing is "tight" and "off the heezy!" Her writing is so realistic that I feel like I personally know each of the students in Mr. Ward's class. I definitely want to be like Mr. Ward, the English teacher in the book, "when I grow up!"
I participated in open mike sessions quite a bit during my college years, so reading Bronx Masquerade definitely took me back to a good time in my life. As a matter of fact, I can feel the muse beginning to awaken.
I think Bronx Masquerade should be in the possession of every English/Language arts teacher and student (in middle school and high school). Regardless of your locality, ethnicity, or comfort level with poetry, you can appreciate this candid salute to the minds of teenagers who have quite a lot to tell and not enough people to listen.
I am a sold fan of Nikki Grimes!

Summary: Poetry Blowout
Comment: This book is about these students who are in middle school and they are going to find whoj they really are. This book has a lot of poetry in it if you are a poetry fan. Bronx Masquerade is a very interesting story because each little poem tells a story about someone's life. It shares so much passoin in one little book. One day there teacher tells them they are going to explore the world of poetry. Thye decide that they want to share their poems with the class and so the teacher comes up with "Open Mike Fridays". This is when you get up in front of the class and share your poems on Fridays. This book is really good because there is this boy named Tyrone. Tyrone is his own person and he is a street boy who doesn't care about school one bit. But when they have these Open Mike Fridays he tells about each little poem that someone wrote and expresses what he fells. To me that is very interesting. The characteration in this book is so real. There are so many people expressing themselves. It is just incredible. I really liked this book a whole lot. I hope that you like it too.
