Brian O’Flaherty October 29, 2009 Lewis Period 6 IR Project MP 1 //The Taking of Pelham One Two Three// in Retrospect In //The Taking of Pelham One Two Three//, the author aims to give the reader nonstop action. This book is a great read for anyone who doesn’t like boring, repetitive novels without a steady plot. The author’s views of the city life and the themes he presents are also interesting and add to the plot just as much as the action. Godey brings out the negative aspects of city life through the variety of people who live there. From policemen to black scholars to transit workers, every character has their problems with the government. Their animosity builds when the mayor chooses to rest at home rather than deal directly with the theft of a subway train. The themes behind the plot of the action-novel //The Taking of Pelham One Two Three// make it one of my favorite books ever, and I suggest it to everyone else who likes exciting books.
