When I Was The Greatest By: Jason Reynolds, Fiction

Summary:
In Brooklyn, New York Allen Brooks also known as Ali lives in a rough part of Brooklyn. He meets a new kid named Roland. He moves into the next door of Ali. Ali describes this part that he lives in as the scummy area, because everyone that has lived there has always either trashed the place or moved right back out never to be seen again. They become good friends.

Where in time was this taken and is the setting important...
This book could have been taken at any time period but I would have to say that it was taken around today's time and age, because of the vocabulary that the use in the book. This setting in the book is very important to the story because you, as the reader, need to know that they don't live in the nicest part of  New York.

The book's structure...
This book has a very good flow to it, because it is just like any other good novel, it if formatted with paragraphs and dialogue. The time-line through the story move chronologically through what I have read so far.
