 So-so December 12, 2007
I teach the novel The Contender to my 8th grade classes. Every year I have students who want sequels, and since I had previously purchased both The Brave and The Chief, this year I added Warrior Angel to our library. My students who have read it enjoyed it. While The Contender is one of my favorite novels to teach, personally I think Lipsyte should have abandoned this track. The characters are plastic, the action is confusing, and the mystical overtones just don't cut it. Sorry, Mr. Lipsyte. Keep punching!

Warrior Angel, by Robert Lipsyte, is a fictional story about a Moscondaga Indian, named Sonny Bear, who dreams of being a professional boxer. Along his rise to the top, he has a mental breakdown, and one of his biggest fans, Warrior Angel, comes to save him and put him back on the right trail to stardom. This book was somewhat confusing. I couldn't tell who the narrator was sometimes. Besides that, it's not too long, but it's not too short. I have also read other stories in the series by the same author. In my opinion, the other novels were better. The Contender, The Brave, and The Chief are all more exciting. I think Warrior Angel is not as exciting because it does not have as good of a plot as the others did. It just talks about Sonny Bear's struggle to be the best. The other novels have more problems going on throughout them. Still, if you like action and sports (mainly boxing) you should enjoy this book, but you have to read The Contender first, because Warrior Angel is its sequel. So what do you think, does Sonny Bear make it to the top with the help of Warrior Angel?
