The author ended with a cliffhanger but it doesn’t really make me want to read the next one. If he had made the book longer and finished talking about how Sarney and Nightjohn taught in the pit school it would’ve been better. I wouldn’t recommend this book to someone unless they really liked books about history. My opinion on the movie is worse than the book. The only thing I liked about the movie is that Pawley got married and the slaves seem happier than described in the book.
Answer: No, the book didn't end in the way I thought it would. But I kind of expected there to be a twist towards the end of the book. Overall I really enjoyed reading the book. I wasn't bored at any part and it was somewhat a easy read.
There were a lot of themes that I picked up. Kit was a very brave and courageous character and everyone had a lot of loyalty. In conclusion, I would recommend this book. I thought it was pretty
This book was absolutely phenomenal. The quirky characters and the close relationships they had with each other pull in the reader. It uses suspense to keep the reader constantly guessing what will happen next. In this book Chris Crutcher confronts many mature themes such as mental illness, racism, suicide, and death, while still being able to keep the book light hearted in many places.
Like when Janina and Misha were hiding from the Jackboots, I never wanted to stop reading so I could find out what happened. Overall, this book was great and it taught me alot about what people were feeling throughout this horrible
I appreciated the different sisters’ stories and perspectives while trying to live their lives as best they could. The way the novel jumps from past to present throughout the chapters is very interesting to me. For instance, Dede was brought back to present day when speaking to the interviewer, but seemed to be “going back into the past after hearing certain things about certain people” (Alvarez 66). She would often change back and forth throughout the chapter, keeping the reader involved with what events were happening during the time. Also, when the interviewer asked questions, “Dede feels as if she cannot carry off her responsibility by talking about the terrible past” but she realizes that this is the best thing to do for her family (Alvarez 65).
Through parts of the book, I am able to feel like I am walking in the characters’ footsteps. For example, when Danny is describing how he is brought up in silence (Ch.8), I feel like I am able to jump in the story and experience how that would feel. I do not think I would be able to tolerate being brought up in silence. I also believe the reader is able to realize all the struggles Reuven and Danny must encounter during their friendship. The characters also underwent a great change.
Yes, i enjoyed this book very much it really had me endcapped into the book at all times because there are so much happening and so much hatred towards 1 person. I would recommend it to others because it is a very good book and a easy
Bullet points: Was the ending satisfying or not? The ending was bittersweet. Each chapter ending has given a positive ending though there were pretty rough incidents happening.
It 's a jaw-dropping book that will leave you wanting more as the author Laurie writes in a crisp and clear way describing the young girl Melinda’s horrific story and how it unfolds. The author 's tone gives off the vibe of a young frighted girl which I find really enhances this sad, but exhilarating story. This story taught me to always speak up for myself and to never let anyone take advantage of me. I would recommend this novel because it is extremely detailed, painting vivid pictures in your mind that really help to magnify and
The short story "Quitters, Inc," by Stephen King, is suspenseful and filled with many twists. Quitters, Inc is a rehab fasiclity for people that want to stop smoking, but their healing treatment is very unique. Jimmy McCann recommends his friend, Dick Morisson, to join the same program that changed his life and helped him to stop smoking. But Morrison does nit know what is in store for himself and his family. Stephen King uses foreshadowing to anticipate the tortures done to a family member, if they do not meet the rehab's requirements.
In general, I thought this book was a great addition to the series because of the added perspective of Roren, the crazy plot twist, and the growth of the characters throughout the
This book was interesting for me because it allowed me to relate to a character. I love reading novels that not only allow me to feel a connection with a character, but allow me to relate to their personality or
I really enjoyed this book and I actually ended up reading it through twice because I appreciated the story so much. My favorite character in the story was Ava. I found her character particularly intriguing because she was very mysterious, until about half way through the book she is a hypothetical, discussed but never described.
Why or why not? Of course I would recommend this this great book because it shows you that everything is not what it is set out to be. Things can turn in an instant for a crime and it shows that it can drive anyone into the floor. The mind of a young child and the various elements surrounding it that can create a huge disaster among many people. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to experience the unexpected.
