Analytical Paragraph
Daniel's character is definitely a dynamic character as he has changed as the novel progressed.He's gone from a wimpy nerd with no friends to a courageous genius who although is not popular still has made a couple friends who he could trust. At the beginning of the novel Daniel tells shares some events that notify you that he is a wimp.However that all changes as he finds the courage to confront drug dealers to protect one of his friends. Daniel also changed physically as he goes from an obese teenager to a slightly fitter teenager. We were always notified about Daniel being obese and he eventually found a source of motivation to lose weight. As I was getting deeper and deeper into the book I realized that Daniels self esteem started to improve as he was losing weight.
Interactive Response
As I expected Carl Deuker has written another amazing sports fiction novel. I don't really read books but when I do they are usually written by Carl Deuker.Carl Deuker is a genius when it comes to putting together real life problems and sports Overall, the novel was well written and realistic and actually made me not wanting to put it down as I wanted to find out more about Angel. The book was just right in terms of length and provides some humor and thrill.If you love sports and are looking for a mystery novel to read you should definitely read Payback Time and I guarantee you wouldn't want to put it down
