Son+of+the+Mob

Son of the Mob by Gordon Korman Exposition Vince Luca is a 17 year old who is the son of a major New York mob boss. Ever since he was a boy his parents have been lying to him about the family business. Most people are afraid of Vince because of his father, Anthony Luca. Everybody is afraid of him because if someone got on his wrong side he could just send one of Vince's "uncles" to take care of them. Vince's best friend, Alex is one of the only people at school that hangs out with him and knows about his family. Alex has few friends other than Alex and is constantly giving Vince advice about girls even though he cannot get one himself.

Conflict Vinces conflict started out at the college party. He met a girl named Kendra at the party but it turned out that the girl was the daughter of the FBI agent that is in charge of watching Vince's family. Fortunately for Vince, Kendra's father does not talk about his work to her. Now Vince must try to keep all of this a secret from his family while at the same time he must try to keep Kendra from finding out who he actually is. Only problem is Kendra keeps on pressuring Vince into meeting her family.

Theme The two main topics of this story are love and justice. Love because Vince has finally found some one who is finally fighting for. Justice because the only thing standing inbetween Vince and Kendra is each of thier parents. Vinces parents are part of the mob and Kendras dad is the FBI agent who has been spying on his family. The theme of the book Son Of The Mob is that when you love something so much nothing should be able to stop you from getting to it.

Climax The climax in the son of the mob is when Kendra leaves Vince. I think that is the climax because at that point there is more suspense than in any other part of the book. Also after that point all the questions in the book were answered one by one until everything finally made sense.

This was a great book that was worth reading and I strongly recomend that you read it.
