This book is an easy read and very enjoyable. It is interesting the way Nikki Grimes wrote the book because it is not in only one persons point of view but in eighteen. This makes the story more dynamic and you understand each characters view on one subject. There are many different subjects in the book and each are found in a students poem they have read at Open Mike Fridays. This is an opportunity for students to read their poems they have written to their classmates. In the beginning of Bronx Masquerade Open Mike Fridays isn’t popular but at the end the eighteen students can’t get enough. I don’t think I would enjoy Open Mike Fridays because I don’t like writing poetry although it is interesting reading the different poems in this book because they match each characters personality.
