Reader Profile: Jevon

Jevon’s favorite place to read is on the couch in his living room, because it’s the most comfortable place for him other than his bed, but Jevon is always worried that he’ll fall asleep if he reads on his bed. Reading something that he enjoys is a very relaxing experience for him.

However, those kinds of books that Jevon enjoys are rare. He very often abandons books before finishing them simply because he gets bored of reading them. He didn’t seem very upset about this fact, and in fact doesn’t really find reading to be a particularly fulfilling experience.

A great example of a book Jevon DOES enjoy is “The Mysterious Benedict Society” by Trenton Lee Stewart. In fact, Jevon has said that this the book that he would take to a deserted island, where he is only allowed to take one book with him. A book that has evoked a lot of emotion from him is “Night” by Elie Wiesel. Jevon finds that the sorrow in the writing about a boy losing his family during the Holocaust made Jevon feel very sad.
