Keeping The Moon Sparknotes
Keeping the Moon was a book I did not like to read. The book’s many problems consist of being uninteresting, unrelatable, and worst of all it’s predictable. Some might argue that the overall message is wise, but it truly is a terrible book that’s very unenjoyable to read.
Keeping the Moon has very uninteresting characters and storyline. First off, the characters have very few defining traits. The main character, Colie is a typical main character and the supporting characters aren't really memorable either. The characters also don't feel like people and they just seem like characters in a book. The characters being unmemorable and cliche also weaken the storyline a lot. The story line is cliche because it's just a typical bullying story. The book from the start feels like a typical bullying storyline and it stays this way throughout the book. It also doesn't help that the few interesting characters in the book or interesting plotlines are used for only small parts and are outdone by how bland the rest of the characters and plot lines are in comparison. As uninteresting as this book is, it´s not as bad as how unrelatable

The characters don’t have many traits that make them relatable, and the few characters that are relatable have very small parts in the book. One plotline is that the main character Collie, has a mother who is very famous ,and this is something that few can relate to. Another part of the book that is unrelatble is the bullying storyline, since this part of the storyline is so cliche it makes it hard for anyone to relate to it. Finally ,the most unrelatable character in this book is the main character Colie, the character is given little to no memorable traits and also has an unrelatable story. The majority of this book is very unrelatable and this very much takes away from any parts that are in any way relatable, this makes the book hard to enjoy. This book is also easily

    One of the reasons not to read the book is its confusing storyline, the book is written in reverse chronological order at the start of the book, the four girls are grown women; some married, some divorced, some have kids, etc. They keep getting younger throughout the book so that at the end they were kids back in their homeland, the Dominican Republic. The author did this to make the reader experience the book as an immigrant; always going…

    In this story in particular, the characters leave you speechless with their actions. This story has a flow due to how the characters talk. They talk with improper grammar, but that’s what makes it unique.”Ain’t nothing wrong with that is it?” Raheem and the narrator have a lot of mini fights, because Raheem is skipping school and “checking” out other girls. “His eyes crawl over to them good girls.” The author doesn’t give us a lot of knowledge about the narrator; though I’d prefer if she did. This will allow us readers to connect to the story more. Overall I think the characters are a perfect fit to the story.…

    There are several things that I like about this book. First off, I love historical fiction, and this is the genre of this book. Also, despite the author being too descriptive, the book went at a steady pace. For me, pace usually determines whether I will read the book or not, and I never really hesitated, or thought about changing books.…

    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 found the book to be easy, exciting reading because the story line was very realistic and easily relatable. This book flowed for me to a point when, at times, it was difficult to put down. Several scenes pleasantly caught me off guard and some were extremely hilarious, namely, the visit to Martha Oldcrow. I found myself really fond of the characters, especially Harlen Bigbear. Harlen came across as a sort of ‘trickster', but a likable one. He was gentle, caring, and harmless in his own right. Will, the protagonist, was very likable as well. However, his character only evolved for me as a result of Harlen's unconditional and relentless friendship with him. In short, Will's character would've lacked without the likeness of a Harlen Bigbear. The character naming was also very ingenious. The Oldpersons, Prettywomans, baby South Wing, and others…

    Its worst feature: I think this book's worst feature is that it is not very interesting. This book doesn't keep your attention. On various occasions the author goes into so much depth that the reader forgets the main idea that he is trying to get across. I found myself reading the same lines over and over because I wasn't paying attention and wasn't really reading it.…

    In the critique of, “The Moon We Left Behind,” by author Andrew Harlan he thoroughly explains the good and bad of the essay originally written by author Charles Krauthammer. Harlan’s initial paragraphs were on the original author Charles Krauthammer’s background and summarization. He illustrates wide knowledge and facts to explain how some of the information is faulty and how the world has benefited and still continues to benefit from our trips to the moon. Harlan also states the original writing dismissed too quickly the arguments from the oppose and describes that for the right reasons most of the population would agree with further endeavors to not only the moon but beyond. He describes in the last paragraph that Krauthammer…
