Rating: Summary: Tuck Everlasting Review: Tuck Everlasting The book Tuck Everlasting written by Natalie Babbitt, is a great book. Natalie grew up in Ohio. She spent most of her spare time reading fairy tales, and drawing. This inspired her to write stories. Tuck everlasting is a fantasy book filled with fun surprises, and questions. Winnie Foster is walking through the forest, when she runs into what looks like a seventeen-year boy named Jesse. Jesse gets into a conversation with Winnie. Jesse tells Winnie about a magic spring that will let you live forever if you drink from it. Jesse may look seventeen, but really he's one hundred four years old, that's because he drank from the spring. Jesse brings Winnie to the spring. The spring looks beautiful. Very nice flowers, and tall trees surround it. The spring may be beautiful, but not everything about it is. The old proverb, All that glitters is not gold" is illustrated throughout the story. "It's shimmering with light and possibility" says Winnie, thinking everything's good about it. Not everybody knows the springs dark side. Winnie is a great person. She wouldn't tell even a fly about the spring, but when a stranger follows her to the spring. Everything changes. The secret is out. The stranger wants to put the spring on the market. To find out what happens to Winnie and Jesse, you'll have to read this great book.
Rating: Summary: The True Facts of Tuck Everlasting Review: This book is really great for the most part. The theme of the novel is truly a noble one. It really makes you think. The characters are well-developed,and the descriptions are wonderful. It's a little boring at the beginning, but it really picks up. I like this book, but there are a few not-so-great things about it. Like I said before, the beginning is boring. It also doesn't describe Winnie's thoughts about whether to drink the water or not. There wasn't really that much action in it either. If you want a nice romance, don't read the book, watch the movie! However,the book does supply a lot of character interactions and feelings that the movie does not. This book is filled with adventure, mystery, intensity, fun, excitement, and much, much, more! I recommend this to almost everyone. Don't read this book if you are under 9 because you wont grasp the concept as well, and you wont be able top truly understand the meaning of this book.
Rating: Summary: Not my type of book. Review: This book was okay. I didn't love it, but I didn't fall asleep. I think this book is better suited for girls 10 and up. Personally, I thought it was a little slow-paced.
Rating: Summary: Tuck Everlasting Book Reveiw Review: I'm a student from ... 3rd grade classroom saying, read the book Tuck Everlasting. The characters in the book are Winnie, The Man in The Yellow Suit, Jesse, Miles, Tuck, and Mae. The main idea of the story is the spring water. F.Y.I. there's a surprise about the spring. Jesse and Winnie are in love. I recommend this book to other kids like me because this isn't too romantic and it's an interesting book. You will enjoy all the cool details...
Rating: Summary: One of my favorite books Review: The story is interesting, exiting, it gives you the feeling of wanting to read it till the end.
Rating: Summary: Awesome book!!! Review: This book made me cry all the way though. It has so much meaning in it. Sometimes I wish that there was a magic lake for me so I would never grow up, but at times I am glad that I grow up. This book is awesome if you know somebody who doesn't want to grow up.
Rating: Summary: Dumb book. Review: This book isn't depressing; it's depressed. That's it; end of story.
Rating: Summary: Intresting in it's own sense Review: In my opinion the book is a short sweet novel that is a bit slowmoving at times but picks up at certain places. If your looking for an action packed adventure than this wouldn't be yours. In my opinion the "Romance" in the novel was hardly described, and the main action point was only towards the end. Overall this book is pretty good but nothing but that.
