My initial response once I read the first third of the book was that I am really going to enjoy it. I thought that because it has a very strong plot which makes it very interesting for me to read. I like how the author gets right to the point, but still makes you think about what is going on in the novel. Another thing that made me think it will be a good book is that it is very realistic so I can relate to what’s happening and really understand the things going on.…
The book is amazing, but it is lacking in the use of descriptive words. It seems dull in some points of this book. It is all around a good book in many other ways though. It shows Cole's…
Critique I liked this book because it was interesting and you don’t know what will happen next. This book leaves you hanging. I like books with drama and this book has a lot of it. I also like how it was in third person point of view, so it switched between different people.…
I rate this book a perfect 10 because of the amount of interest I had while reading it. This book is written for young adult and is great for those who could relate to the same situation as Melinda. This is the kind of book that you would not want to put down once you start reading it. This book also makes a…
I loved this book! It was very interesting to me. It was definitely a book that I couldn't put down. When she told about her experiences about making new friends and also losing her family I found this very interesting and heartbreaking to know the pain she must have been going through. A weak point in this book was when Hannelore couldn't find…
My opinion that this book was a little sad because Kevin (also known as Freak) had a disease that made him stop growing at three feet so he had to wear metal leg braces and crutches. Also in the beginning Max was a bully because in the beginning of the story Max was called Kicker because whoever touched him Max will hurt that person by punching and kicking him/her. The book also talks a lot about friendship and trust because when Freak and Max first saw each it was only for one afternoon and that afternoon they barely talked to each other but once years have passed, some how Freak moved next to Max’s emptied neighbors house (the only reason the house was empty because the old neighbor was still in jail) So after Freak got out…
It had humor, real life events, sadness, and suspense. I would most definitely recommend this novel to someone because although it’s very long, you won’t want to stop reading it. This book will make you wonder, cry, even laugh. It’s a book that I think had great meaning and was put together very well. In my opinion, there is no flaws about this book except how long it is.…
I enjoyed this book thoroughly and always kept me intrigued until the end. It had small twists in it that were rather easy to interpret but it was also very interesting. I don’t particularly relate to this book, although situations that I’ve endured have changed my perspective on life, in a positive aspect, and made me unprejudiced and versatile and not so…
I enjoyed the twists and turns in the story that make it unique and unpredictable. Patrice is on my list of authors to read now! ~ by Dfernow…
One example that demonstrates my dislike for the book, Brave New World, is on (pg 19-20): “’Bokanovsky’s Process,’ … One egg, one embryo, one adult – normality. … A Bokanovskified egg will bud, will proliferate, will divide.” This instance from chapter one, personally as a reader, makes me dislike the book. I personally don’t like reading about scientific facts; and/or uncanny extraterrestrial-like customs. I think it is just, very plainly, odd.…
This novel was really good because there was no foreshadowing. The symbols that were visible didn’t give away the ending. Which kept you guessing until the very end, causing one not to want to put the book down. Overall this was a very good…
The characters in the book were excellent. the author made them very believable and realistic. My favorite character was Lindsey, Susie’s younger sister. If one of my family members died I think I would be some what like her. I would be strong…
When I was reading this book, I was confused about what was happening and this made me not enjoy it as much. One thing I did not like was how Cadence would write fairy tales about a king and three sisters. I didn't understand why she was writing these fairy tales and what they had to do with the plot. But, later learned that these stories represented her her mother and aunts difficult relationship with her grandfather. I did not like these stories because I didn’t think they were necessary in the book. However, I did like how the author made it seem like in the beginning that Cadence’s life was perfect because she gets anything she wants, but when you read more into the book you realize her life is anything but perfect. I liked this aspect of the book because it made it more interesting to read about Cadence’s story.…
The main character of this book is Ever. She, as a character, is very interesting. Of course, like most characters, she has many flaws. Ever is a psychic capable of reading minds, seeing emotions, and knowing your life story by just touching you. She also has the enviable power of knowing the answers to homework/tests by touching the questions. She cannot, however, imitate artwork; such as Starry Night by Van Gogh. Ever says: ¨...though it probably seems cool to read minds and energy and auras…. it so isn’t¨ (Noël, 78-79). Ever goes on to say: ¨...even your best friends can think some pretty unflattering things, and not having an off switch requires a… lot of forgiveness¨ (Noël, 79). Which shows that even though she knows what her friends…
Some readers have seen the novel as an illustration of the fear of the power of science. To what extent do you agree with this view of the novel?…
