Maniac Magee

Summary: "It's Confusing!! What?"
Review: The Story Maniac Magee was a very confusing book. Some of the reasons that I didn't like the book are that he ran so many places. Just like running to the Beales in the East end, then running to the McNabs in the West end. There was a little to much fighting. For example,when Maniac (Jeffery) messes with the Cobras and Mars Bar. There were too many slang words. Somtimes I had to reread it a couple of times. One time Mars Bar said "Gimme my Book!" But most of all he loses many people. Once he is very happy, then he has to separate. He finally goes with the Beales and lives there. Overall the story was hard to understand.

Summary: Not the Best book
Review: Maniac Magee is not the greatest book ever. I'm not saying that the book isn't good, but it's kind of unrealistic. In one part, Maniac hit so many runs. To top it off, the last homerun he hit was really weird. He hit a frog instead of a ball. Some parts were also confusing. For example, Maniac kept on moving around and sometimes I couldn't follow where he went. Also, some parts were boring. There were some things I liked about this book too. One thing that I like is that I'm glad Maniac had guts. For example, bringing Mars Bars to McNabs house was a crazy idea. Also the author was pretty decriptive. Tha is what I think about this weird book Maniac Magee.

Summary: Is that that Maniac
Review: I think that Maniac Magee Was an okay book.I didn't like how that book was so confusing. Some examples are how he moves from place to place you really didn't know were he was. Another reason is how he moved from one family to another in the same chapter so you really don't know what family he is with. What I do like about the book was how Maniac was a nice and caring kid. Also he always thought about other people befor himself.That is why I thought Manaic Magee was an okay book.

Summary: The so-so book
Review: I think Maniac Magee was a so and so novel. It was a really touching story. One example is when Mrs. Beale slapped him in the face and he said I love you. He also finds alot of familys that take him in. One person that helped him a lot was Grayson. There were a few problems too. It had little bad language. I rather not give a example of the bad language. It had hard vocabulary. If you were my age you would need a dictionary to read the book with out any problems. It had words like endure, zany, and chaotic.Thats why i think Mainac is a okay book

Summary: I Was Tangeled Up in this Book!
Review: The book Maniac Magee was a great book. It kept me reading. Like when Maniac was running from town to town. You didn't know were he was going to end up. Another reason why I liked the book was because everyone excepted him into his family. The Beales excepted him even though he was white. Also when Maniac helped others. Like when he stayed to help Russel and Piper. When he was with the Beales he helped Hester and Lester. This is why I liked the book.

Summary: I was not so crazy over Maniac
Review: Maniac Magee was a good book. I liked that Maniac Magee was good at sports. For example,"He windmilled, reared, lunged, fired... This time the ball cleared the fence on a fly. Another thing I liked about the book was that Maniac was very mature. For example, He took care of Russell and Piper McNab. Another thing I liked about the book was that Russell and Piper McNab were always bad. For example, Russell and Piper McNab were driving an old broken down corvette and then they crashed it by mistake. Some parts of the book were boring. For example, when Maniac started to untie Cobbles Knot. I thought it was supposed to be exiting. But the author did not make it intresting. I also disliked that Maniac lost many loved ones. For example, his parents died when he was young. I liked the ending to Maniac Magee. I thought this book was ok.

Summary: Read all about it! Maniac Magee Stinks!
Review: Maniac Magee is not an outstanding book. The Newbery Award should not have gone to Maniac Magee. First of all, it was definetly not exciting. I like exciting books and this had no climax. Nothing scary, bad, or suspenseful happened. That made it very boring. Secondly, it is very annoying when Maniac keeps moving to different spots. You can't keep track whether he is in the West or the East End. He goes everywhere every two seconds. It's so confusing! Lastly, they put too much information about Maniac and the borng Knot. I spend 15 minutes reading and all I hear is something about the Knot.I don't care about the Knot!This book was totally boring. I suggest you don't read it.

Summary: Are you a Maniac for Maniac Magee...(for me it's not joyful)
Review: Maniac was a good book, but, it was a little confusing and hard to keep up with because, he traveled to so many places throught out the whole book. For example, Holidaysburg, Two Mills (*east and west end), Valleyford, and other places in Two Mills. It also was a sad story because, people died for example, Maniacs parents and Grayson. Also his family relationships have died for example, Aunt Dot and Uncle Dan, The Beales, The Pickwells, and the McNabs.

Summary: Maniac Magee
Review: I do not think Maniac Magee is the best book I have ever read. one reason I do not like the story is he moves from place to place and it is hard to keep track. For exmaple, one day he is in the West End and the next in the East.I do not like the part when Mars Bar meets Maniac because I don't like when people fight.I certainly don't like when Maniac lies to Piper and Russel.I don't like it because it's mean to say something not true.I don't like the ending.The reason is I thought that it was going to end with the blacks and whites playing together in harmony. Next, I do not like the book for these reasons and more.

Summary: Maniac the Great
Review: The book Maniac Magee was an outstanding book. One reason why I liked the book was because Maniac was really good at sports. An example of that is he caught a football with one hand and he had many books in the other. Maniac hit a homerun against as picther who struck out everyone. Another reason why I liked Maniac Magee was because it was realistic. For example, a person can really go threw what Maniac went threw. The ending was excellent. Maniac was really satisfdied with the choise he made. In coclusion, it was a tremendous book.
