"The Library Card" by Jacob Gates was a perplexing gift from my brother, intended to spark my interest in reading. However, at age seven, I found it utterly baffling. The book's erratic transitions between disjointed characters—a couple of gangster friends, a bratty child, a nomadic youth, and a farm girl—left me confused. Although they all touch a library card somewhere, the stories didn’t connect meaningfully. This rushed narrative offered me little enjoyment, and I can't say much good about it. Thanks for the unintended lesson, I guess.

The Library Card: The Readings By Jacob Gates
What they did: • It was a gift from my older brother. He really liked it. Or so he said. This book was definitely not anything I wanted at all. I started looking at it when I was 7. it made no sense. Looking back, I get it: It was A Salto Mortale of a book. This book made NO SENSE, LIKE AT ALL. Horrible transitions. From two gangster friends, to a rather bratty child living through the great TV turnoff, to a nomad child (my personal favorite ) to a farm girl. First of all, none of the stories connected except for finding a library card at some point. Very obviously rushed. Nothing good can really be said from me about this book by me.
