  1. Having a half dead, bloody man in the back of my trunk would be unusual and actually scary for me. Think of ruining my love life because of it would be worse! Vince goes through the same problem. In my opinion, this chapter shows me the excitement of Vince’s extraordinary life about the mystery of his father’s job, and also the sweating thrill of the unexpected situations during the date that keeps me turning the page.

  2. Vince has a date with Angela O’ Bannon. Alex, Vince’s friend is scoring girls through him and he thinks that if Vince messes up his chances are down the drain. If I were Vince I’d leave Alex to find his own girls. Vince and Angela go to a movie and Angela’s stuck to Vince’s back, but he feels as if she isn’t even there. I think he feels this way because he’s never been with anyone before, never been on a date. Alex, Vince’s friend acts weird around Vince’s family and I think he acts like that because he knows that Vince’s dad is a mob boss. Angela and Vince head to a beach and when they’re leaving there is a cop search right at the exit of the beach. Vince is going crazy because Jimmy Rat is in the trunk of his Mazda. I think Jimmy Rat is the guy they stole the car from…

  3. Chapter one was intense in the beginning. I wanted to know right away what was going to happen between Angela and Vince. As I kept reading I found some parts funny. Like who takes a car with a bloody body in the back of your trunk to pick a girl up? That’s just lame. I can imagine the look on Angela’s face. I think Alex should just start dating so he can really know it all from experience not just from giving advice. Who would want to listen to someone who hasn’t dated? Chapter one overall was a great opening of the book.

  4. Chapter 01:
    This story is a good story for young people. I think that in this chapter Vince Lukas is trying his best to tell us that being in a Lukas family is hard for him. He is a kind of Lukas boy who don’t do any of the Lukas family business. In this chapter Vince said he had a girlfriend to take out on a date, it seems like his brother Tommy Lukas took Vince’s car and put a man that is knock out and bleeding. I also think that being in the Lukas family business is so stupid because if you were going to in that kind of family you should at least help your child in their school so that if they need help your there to help. Putting your child in that kind of business is not good so yeah… I think that motivating your child to kill people is not good way of telling them you really love them…

  5. I really enjoyed the opening of the story and how chapter one ends. The main character Vince Luca isn’t your average high school teenager, but apparently the son of the mob boss, which to me adds more excitement to the story. The part where he and Angela went on a date was one of my favorites. Especially when they were at the beach about to get intimate and she finds a body in the trunk of his car is not how I expected the date to go. I found it really funny, but shocking a sell; however not your ordinary date. This book seems to really grab my attention and keep me wanting to know more, for nothing about this main character seems to be ordinary or average.

  6. The story might be happen to anyone, but it explains on detail and precise. At first, the author catches my eyes to start with the worst date in life, because like everyone else I mostly interest in part to be related with opposite sex. With the idea that the situation would be happen to anyone, but it gives me more tension on the process how it goes and how it end. Also, it makes me can not wait for reading the next chapters and attracts my curiosity to insight the whole story.

  7. It’s all came from misunderstanding and reality. I just feel bad for Vince, because I can feel his true heart towards Angela. But because of the misunderstanding ruined everything. And the end of the chapter, I can see it was a happiest but worst night to Vince. And this chapter shows some parts of his father’s business. And I can see it’s all came from his father’s business that something deals with a mob. I think Vince’s background will causes more problems to his own life. It looks like Vince doesn’t want to be a part of his fathers business.

  8. When I read chapter 1, the story catches my eyes, because it’s really interesting to me, and it might be happened to anyone. This book is about Vincent Luca’s life. His dad is mob; also his brother helped his dad’s work. In my opinion, Vincent is living conventionally, but on the other hand Vincent is pitiable, because his dad is mob so Vincent and live without hard time, but in school some students know about his family so they got hart time to close to Vincent.

  9. I think that this book is a great is a book for young teens like me who are interested in reading about mobsters and business well in this case Vince Luka is a son of a mobster brother who works for his father. Vince says that it’s very difficult being part of the Luka family the reason why his saying this s because his family is mostly all mobsters and business. He also mentioned he also when on a date with his girlfriend Angela as he was on this date they both found a man in Vince’s trunk which his brother had left this man injured and really bleeding on the blanket that they were supposed to use the sandy beach.

  10. I liked the beginning of the story. It was pretty interesting and funny at the same time. I didn't expect Vince and Angela's date to go that way. I didn't expect for them to find a body in the trunk of his car, but I kind of feel bad for Vince because he really likes this girl and now his date got ruined. I think that Alex should stop giving him advices when he's never dated before and stop trying to get girls through Vince and start getting girls on his own. This story really catches my attention and makes me want to keep reading more.

  11. The main character Vince was on a date with his girlfriend. While dating, he went to the truck to get something and found a dead body there. He was surprised and shocked. He was also suspicious about what was going on. If something similar happened to me, then I would be scared.
