Dooley Takes The Fall: Summary And Review

Summary

"Is he dead?" (McClintock 1). Those three words were the words that would change his life because when he heard them, Dooley knew at that moment he was in trouble. Dooley Takes The Fall by Canadian author Norah McClintock takes us through the life of a troubled teen struggling to free himself from his past and the implications of the present conspiracies that surround him, including witnessing another teen’s violent death. Police suspect he is involved due to his criminal record and this confusing mystery unfolds as Dooley is determined to prove his innocence.

Review

After completing and reflecting on the completion of this book, I've noticed that it is simply one of the best books I've ever read. It was extremely exciting due to the many violent and plot-changing events that occurred like the death of Gillette and the party, where all of Dooley's problems truly began. Due to profane language and extremely graphic events in the plot, I would recommend this book to teenagers 13-18. Also, this could be a great novel for anyone that is looking for a relatively short but extremely suspenseful read.
