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.…

word. I also liked all the war and all it just seems better when you have action. Not to spoil it but…
This book was not that interesting because it took too long to get the point across and then they stayed on the point too long. Some parts of the book were good so it turns out to be a so so book or an okay book to read.…

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.…
The movie also focuses on the blood that is spread to receive a diamond. The main cause of war in Sierra Leone. The book barely sheds light on the root of the war. The upside of this is the viewer can comprehend the challenges and mentality of the character. The advantage of this is that the viewer can understand the difficulties and mindset of the character. The drawback is it just spotlights on the individual contemplations instead of others leaving space for sentiments.…
One reason this book should be banned is the use of vulgar language. The foul language used in this book is not appropriate for middle school nor elementary libraries, but acceptable to more mature audiences like high school. An example of this occurs toward the middle of the book when, the main character, Alice and her friend are at a party that gets out of hand and she’s talking about it the next day, “Last night was the worst night of my shitty, rotten, stinky, dreary, f*cked up life.” (Sparks, 58) Another example toward the beginning of the book when she’s expressing her feelings about that day, “I feel awfully bitched and pissed off at everybody… I just want to puke all over the shitty world.” (Sparks, 82, 83)…
The people who chose to ban this book did have a point, that foul language and violence is not good for a young student to read, but the good in this book should cover up the bad. The foul language in this book was strictly two words, and they were nothing that most students in my school wouldn’t know. As along with the violence, there are video games and movies that have much more intense violence in them, and much younger people view…
Banning the books that address ideas that parents’ do not agree with does not solve or hid the problems away. Comparing to the parents in the book how they at first did not acknowledge the protagonists problems she could have been saved earlier. What parents and school administrators need to realize that banning the books does not solve the problem. The issues that the book covers surround the kids from every other aspect of their lives, they will still be able to witness others using drugs or be involved themselves…
This story is very effective because it gives the reader an idea what the characters in the book went through during war. No matter what type of mission they were in, they still had to gather themselves, mentally, emotionally and physically to perform their duties as soldiers.…
Not all books that are banned should be but there are some that I see good reasoning for why it has been banned. In my opinion the book I read shouldn’t be banned, but I do see why some readers feel that it should, in the book there is some violence that might be disturbing to a young reader. Also to some young readers they may find the book to be scary. Even with these other points I am still against banning this book and many other books. I encourage anyone who dislikes a book or finds it inappropriate to think about their decision before challenging or banning a…
