Over Spring Break I finished re-reading The Lives of Tao. I enjoyed the great detail and action in this book. I previously read this book over the summer for my summer reading project. I think it is a very good book for boys entering high school because of all the intense action and attention to detail. This book is an Alex Award winner because of its excellence.

Some people may say that it is pointless to re-read books, but I think it is very beneficial because it allows you to see a different side of the book. Also you may have a different opinion of the book the second time you read it. Personally, I had the same reaction to this book as a did the first time, but I understood things better and more of the little details stood out to me and made more sense. So I think it is very beneficial to re-read novels.
