Shabanu: Daughter of the Wind (Readers Circle) |
Rating: 3 (out of 5)
Summary: Pros and cons of Shabanu
Comments: I just read this book for English class and I think this book is fantastic.This book is about a girl named Shabanu who is dealing with family issues and her own self.The bad thing about the book is that it can be confusing if you do not read it carefully.
I would endorse this book who enjoy a sense of mystery and sadness. Like in1of the chapter,Shabanu has to deal about the fact that her favorite camel was sold in a fair. I would not endorse this book for people who want excitement and adventure like in a action movie.
So after all i think this book is a fun FANTASTIC book. |

Summary: Pakistani desert girl's life struggles
Comments: A well written and thought provoking book Shabanu is the story of a young Cholistan desert girl whose family raises camels. Shabanu's story is that of a typical girl in this part of the world. She must endure a difficult life in which she and her family struggle to survive in the harsh desert and struggle to overcome the corrupt wealthy land owners who control the region. The story is compelling because Shabanu's life is so different from that of 13 year old girls in the Western world. I would endorse this book to those seeking to learn more about life in Pakistan's desert regions and about the Muslim culture. The book examines the treatment of women in this part of the world and makes a subtle comment on the injustice of their situation. |

Summary: the best
Comments: A Girls Life and Future
I endorse this book to anyone who loves to read about true life. I loved
this book because I have seen the pain of being married off at the age of 13.
I endorse this book to mature readers because of the descriptive words and
sentences. Shabanu keep me reading and it was impossible to put down.

Summary: ZZZZZZ
Comments: This book stinks. It's about a 12 year old girl named Shabanu who lives in the desert of Pakistan. Her life as been perfect since she was born, taking care of the camels, climbing thorn trees, and running free in the desert. however when an evil landowner murders the person her older sister Phulan was betrothed to. Now she must sacrifice ething she's dreamed of to save her family. Sounds like a pretty okay plot, right? WRONG!! This book tries to make you hate it. It's boring, depressing (her life really sucks), and repetitive. There are some really great parts, however they are just drowned out by the badness of the book. And worst of all, it just ends. The plot actually starts getting thicker, however it just stops. It's like: Shabanu did this, Shabanu did that, Shabanu did thi-The end. The moral of the story: do not read this book. |

Summary: This book is great and bad!!
Comments: This book really changed my life. I was assigned to read this book, and Haveli in 7th grade. Shabanu shows a strong, defiant, girl trying to grow into her womanhood. There is a lot of tragedy for her and her family in this book, and there is a lot of talk about breast size and sex in this book, so if you haven't had "the talk" yet, you probably do not want to read this. I felt that the ending was a little stupid, and it felt like the author ran out of paper or something.
All in all, this book has its great and bad moments. |
