myntop 's review for:
The New David Espinoza
by Fred Aceves
This was a very interesting book for me, and very unique compared to other YA books I've read. I think this type of book is very important, as it seems that there aren't many books for teens that focus on the dangers of steroid use. Also, I'd never heard of muscle dysmorphia before and I'm sure there are many people who haven't. Bringing light to conditions that are little known is a wonderful thing that novels can do.
David goes through a lot dealing with being bullied and the aftermath of a viral video showing him being bullied. But when he falls to steroids to help him get bigger, he ends up losing so much more than his pride. He ends up pushing people away, and losing control of what made him himself.
In this story, the boy finds out before it's too late the dangers he's facing and gets help. I'm sure there are more stories of those who don't find out until it's too late and some even lose their life.
