I was a bit skeptical about whether to read The Reject Bench due to its length, but in the long run, I did so, and for sure, the content did not disappoint.The Morgan family relocated from their modest home in the working-class area of Upland, California, to a larger and nicer home in Claremont, five miles away. Jim Morgan had just finished his freshman year and was unhappy about moving away from his Upland friends, who claimed that he was going to Snob City. After almost a whole year of eating lunch alone at his new school, James finally made a few friends. Over the course of the next two years, other transfer students found their way to their group, which sat on a bench under a sycamore tree in the courtyard of Claremont high school. For first-hand information on the unfolding of events, grab a copy of The Reject Bench by James H. Morgan.

On to the pros of the book: The novel's originality pleased me. Since the story does feature a number of real-life elements, such as moments of hardship, joyful moments, and sad moments, it doesn't take much to be persuaded that the events in the story were real-life events. Through the use of writing techniques like dialogue and vivid imagery, the author has, through his command of language, encouraged action throughout the entire novel.

On to the flaws of the book: I disliked the author’s use of obscene terms, which could have had a detrimental impact on the values of a certain group of readers, such as youngsters, even though the tale was smooth, entertaining, and easily understandable. If the book had used less ambiguous language, I think it would have been even more impressive and level in terms of meeting the demands of all readers. Overall, I thought the tale was an intriguing look into James’s life, which I believe made up for the negative aspects mentioned above.

In terms of rating, I give the story a 4 out of 4 stars since it has content that is incredibly unique and helps readers understand the importance of sharing their life experiences with their kids. I admire the author’s efforts in creating a valuable piece of content about his private life.

On to the recommendations: Teenagers, parents, and young people should read the book since it contains content that is specifically directed at them, as shown by details about the author’s home life, school life, and friendships.
