Tuck Everlasting

Rating:
Summary: classic classic CLASSIC!
Review: Oh, the sublime wisdom and beauty of this book! I first read it YEARS ago, while working a summer job in a children's library. Since then, I've reread it once a year and I've given a copy to each of my close friends. The setting, characters, themes and dialogue are so well-realized, yet with so few words. A book that will most likely leave you a different person, whether you're young or old... As close to essential reading as a book can get!

Summary: a good book
Review: I personaly, thought this book was very good. It might be confusing because more than one thing is going on at once. I read this book in my language class in sixth grade so it probably have been even better if I was not forced to read it. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did!

Summary: This is the most touching book I have ever read...
Review: This book was first read to me in fourth grade. Every day our class would urge our teacher to read just one more chapter to us. It was the first book that lifted itself off of its pages and into my childhood heart.

Last winter, over Christmas break, I was feeling a bit disconnected from myself and my child idealisms, so I decided to read Tuck Everlasting for a second time. Ten years after I read it for the first time, it was just as majestic and welcoming.

There is something about Babbitt's writing that invites you into a world unlike any I have ever known... a world of childlike fantasies, and characters that are more familiar than any reality I have or wish to experience.

I recomend this book to anyone who has lost themselves in a world of ostentatious values and fallacous relations... to anyone who, for 130 pages, would like to rediscover what it is to fantasize, discover, and dream. I welcome everyone into the world of Tuck Everlasting.

Summary: A great book!!!
Review: I liked this book alot.Atfirst, when our class read it as a read aloud in fourth grade, I didn't understand it.Then, I read it alone to myself at nights, and it made me think alot. I wish there was a seqel. This is a great author. If you liked this book, you should also read the Harry Potter series, and The Devils Storybook, and The Devils other storybook(both by the same author). Natalie Babbit has a strange, but creative mind, and weaves together beautiful stories.

Summary: At the End of each Chapter You were Forced to Turn the Page
Review: At the end of the year (6th Grade), we were at the end of our literature books. There was one more story, Tuck Everlasting. What an unbelieveable book. After every chapter, the whole class would urge our teacher to keep going. Our teacher told us not to read ahead. That shows the suspense in the story! Winnie started out as a character who was made to do EVERYTHING. In the beginning, Winnie wants to make a difference and at the end of the story she does. It was amazing how the author made everything related. One other thing, the name "Stranger" suits the eerie "Man in the Yellow Suit"

Summary: Slow beginning, but adventurous
Review: What I liked about the story is all the suspense and adventure that leads you to the main conflict. It keeps us reading. Even though the beginning was uninteresting,it had a little mood that made me want to go on reading.

Rating:
Summary: The story had good characters and a good plot
Review: I liked the book because the story was well-written and easy to understand. The suspense at the end of each chapter was fun because it made me want to continue reading. The similes and metaphors made the description more interesting. In the dialogues the reader learns about life and living forever.

Summary: A Fantastic Story For Some, A Bore For Others.
Review: This was a intresting and perplexing story. And I think it could only be told by the ingenious mind of Nattile Babbit. My 6th grade class read the book for our last project of the year. It took a while to read the first 13 chapters, but we flew by the last chapters. At some points the book was exciting, but some chapters seemed to drag on. I thought there wasn't enough action in the story. The pond chapters were the best in the whole story. The book made you think who was the villian was, The mystrious and evil man in the yellow suit or the cursed water that has tormented the Tucks for 87 years. Unless you allow yourself to be sucked into the vast world of the story, to fell Miles' pain and Winnie's triumph. You won't lighten up to enjoy this touching and exciting story.

Summary: This book is a great book you wont be able to put down.
Review: I read the book called Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt. It was a very good and suprising book. I gave it four stars because it is a very well written book with a great group of characters. It is about a girl named Winnie Foster. It takes place in the early 1900's, in the summer. One day Winnie meets a family, Angus, Mae, Miles and Jessie who can live forever. They drank from a spring 87 years ago and have not changed since then. No one knows their secret but Winnie and the family. If anyone knew about the spring who knows what would happen. Now Winnie has to keep their secret. My favorite part was when Winnie sees Jessie drink from the spring and she wants to drink it too. Then the family tells her all about the spring. She is not sure that she believes it. It was a very good book and it is one of my favorites. It is a very worthwhile book and everyone should read it.
