Summary: Beautiful Read
Comments: This book is beautiful. I had to read it in middle school, and then read it again multiple times when I was in high school and college. I suggest it to anyone. It really makes you think and it is so easy to relate to the main character. The world portrayed by this author is so vivid!! Read and enjoy!! |
Rating: 4 (out of 5)
Summary: Easy reading
Comments: I got through this book in1sitting. It was quite captivating. If you are a fan of "The Outer Limits" or "The Twighlight Zone" you might really like this book since it was like reading an episode of a story from1of those shows. The only reason I give it only4stars is that it felt as if the author could have done more with it in the end. It was like he got bored writing the story and punctuated with an ending. |

Summary: Amazing.
Comments: I read this in 7th grade and loved the book. I recently ran out of books and I read it over again (I am a college freshman) and loved it even more. The plot is amazing, the characters make it even better. This is honestly a piece of art, and the meaning behind the book is astounding. I would definitely suggest this book for a great page-turner to all ages. |

Summary: better than expected
Comments: Honestly, I did not expect this book to be this great. Its target audience is young adults, however it certainly is a great read for adults also. I finished the book in1day. The author maked a main character you care so much about you just want to read it all the way to the end to find out what happened to him. The idea is creative and the pace is quick and engaging. I highly endorse it.

Summary: Awful, Disturbing, A Waste!!
Comments: It was awful!! I DO NOT endorse anyone read it. Maybe some people would like it, however not me. I kept reading it, hoping it would get great, however it just got worse. And the worst part about it was that at the end, I seriously felt like the book had somehow taken something from me. And I do not mean just my time. Now I am just trying to get it out of my head. It had the potential to be really interesting, however I just do not think it quite got there. Someone said it was rushed at the end. I agree. It felt like the author just kind of gave up. I was hoping that the novel would redeem itself somehow, however no such luck. I would be horrified if my child were required to read this in school. I do not believe in censorship, however it shouldn't be required reading. The reading level may be for younger readers, however certainly not the topics discussed in the book. What were the Newbery people thinking?!! |
