Story- Kids on the Slope is a story set in 1966 Japan, where music is flowing through society and helping young people discover themselves. The show opens with Kaoru Nishimi transferring into a new school. He eventually meets the class delinquent Sentarou Kawabuchi, and their passion for music fuels their friendship. Kids on the Slope has its own fair share of drama and romance, which keep the show moving, but it really shines in the tale of friendship though music. The story is well written and has a clear objective to accomplish within the short span of 12 episodes. The pacing is well done so that the show does not feel rushed at all. The pacing is relatively good, but is more on the slower side that may discourage newer viewers. Overall, the story has good pacing, and is relatively interesting to keep the viewer interested. The romance could have been better, but it was enjoyable to watch unfold.

Kids on the Slope was enjoyable for me, I liked the cheesy romance, the teenage problems, the music and the friendship between the characters. The animation didn't bother me as much as I thought. I even found myself laughing at the comedy in the beginning, which sadly was short lived. Overall, the themes were understandable, the music was great as well, (and I found myself listening to jazz while writing this review) and the story was engaging enough to keep me interested.

Overall- Kids on the Slope was a pleasant surprise. It was a great story that dealt with youth sexuality (Yes, I spotted the homosexual imagery, but it was very subtle and not that noticeable) and friendship though jazz music. This anime was a nice change of pace, with plenty of relaxing jazz to lose yourself to, and does not include many of the common tropes seen in other modern anime that airs nowadays.

I did not have many complaints. Even though, at times, I may have felt there was information or conversations that were not entirely needed, it did add more depth to the book and allowed the reader to see more into each individual

The way that Michael Shaara has written this novel shows how truly wonderful he was as an entertaining writer. There was one thing that I did not like about it and that was the pace. I would have liked if the author would have written before the date of June 29th, and explained a little more of what was happening. Another little critique I would make would be to not drag on the days so intensely.

Sometimes it works to take things slow, but other times, its nice getting caught up in it straight from the beginning - sort of like Vampire Academy. Not that I am comparing it to Vampire Academy is any way, for there is neither vampires nor an academy involved - just an instant start to the action and adventure. Kelly 's method of keeping us in suspense was amazing, she never gave a piece of information that wasn 't relevant to the

I liked it because it gave an inside view of what can go through not only a Mexican, American's mind, but also a young woman about to go to college, who has responsibilities or obligations to her family. I also enjoyed how Sanchez portrayed the characters. She made the strict, religious and old fashioned Mexican parents without it being much to stereotypical. Another thing I liked about his book is how she used Julia's sister Olga's death to have a “perfect” example to compare Julia to but at the same time show readers who Julia is and the struggles she faces having someone to live up to without that person actually being there. There were multiple thing to relate to and enjoy while reading.

It has its faults, but overall it was a book I would recommend to tell the story of this horrific forest fire. I was not satisfied with the character in the account; they did not have enough character background to make the reader really feel for them. The characters did not connect to the reader on an emotional level I believe. For example Roosevelt and Taft are extremely narrowed mined and bland to me. He Force themes on to the reader much to frequently as well.

He introduces an anecdote along with several reasonable

Although, some parts kept me insanely hooked, most of the novel was very plain. First off, the whole plot was very basic; practically a rip-off version of The Bachelor but set in a castle. The main idea of the novel had been done many times, and in this novel the execution was not professional either, so it was not an enjoyable read. Second, the world building was not there at all. I could never truly visualize their country and surroundings, as Cass never went in-depth and incorporated any details.

Among them, I really like the character of piggy because it looks like to my dad. This is because, in the story, he apparently looks like a minor role as he is a fat chubby boy with glasses on. I think he is the smartest person in the children and the grey eminence to help people savior since he is the one who uses the academic knowledge to solve problems. More Than that, he owns the glasses which help to make a fire. Hence, I am highly recommended intermediate or high school students read it because the writing skills of the Author is really good, student can learn a lot from it.
