Summary: tuck everlasting
Review: `Tuck Everlasting' by Natalie Babbitt was the interesting novel I have ever read. This story is a kind of legend about magic spring water. Tukck's family who live forever after drinking spring water and Winnie Foster who Foster's daughter own the wood with spring water lead this story.
Jesse Tuck who is everlasting seventeen old boy meet Winnie who has curious, adventure and then the story begins very interesting. After Winnie meet Jesse, she is kidnapped by Tuck's family. They do that even though they are never bad men. Because they want to keep their secret. After Winnie realized Tuck family secret which is never die, she tried to keep the secret. Because she comes to love them while she stays their home. By the way, the stranger who know about magic spring water goes in pursuit Tuck's family.
While I read a this book, I still thought about "everlasting". If I live forever, is it really wonderful? Of course I think that it is very great about keeping young, but if only I would or if only my family kept young like Tuck's family, it should be terrible. I don't want to stay alone even though the young give me a lot of something. I agree to Tuck's point about principle of world. Tuck said " Everything is a wheel, turning and turing.... Always coming in new..."
I thought a lot of things through this book. I suggest this book because this book make me bring to new point about life.

Summary: Do you want to keep young forever...???...eternal life...???
Review: Tuck everlasting is a Fantasy novel, which is written by Natalie Babbitt. It gives us the ultimate lesson of our whole life; "Do you want to live forever?" I think almost every people have been thinking about this question. In this book, you will learn about what is real life.
The main characters are the Tucks, who are living in the woods, isolated with world, Winnie Foster, who is the only child in a strict and rich family, and a stranger, who is looking for something. What kind of relationship would they have? It has an exciting mystery plot.
My favorite part is the Tucks' philosophies: especially, Mr. Tuck and Miles' philosophies of life. It made me think deeply of my life. About eternal life, we each have different opinions and answers. And these answers represent our viewpoint of life.
Do you like Fantasy novels? Do you love to read adventure stories? I am sure that you will enjoy this amazing story. ^^*

Summary: A Book to Make You Think
Review: Tuck Everlasting is fantasy story written by Natalie Babbit. The subject matter of this book is living forever.
Main characters are Tucks family ( Angus, Mae, Miles, Jesse), Winnie and the stranger. And the toad`s exist is important.
In this story Winnie saw Jesse to drink the water of the spring and she knew about the secret. She had to decide whether to drink or not. I thought it is a heavy problem for her, because she is still young.
This fantacy story needs an imagination. It is difficult for me to imagin. Would you try to read this book by using your imagination?

Summary: A Book to Make You Think
Review: Tuck Everlasting is a fantasy fiction novel. The author, Natalie Babbitt wrote about living forever in this novel. We can consider whether living forever is good or not through the characters. Main characters are Winnie and Tuck family, Angus, Mae, Miles and Jesse. When Winnie knows Tuck family, she also knows their secrets. Through their relations, Winnie has grown up on mental side and she has appreciated about love. Tuck Everlasting is interesting book worth reading for children. The reader will think, "Is it good living forever?" It is difficult question, even if you are an adult. I think Winnie was too young to judge what she should do. I want to ask to all of reader, "If you were Winnie, did you do that to the toad?"

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Book to Make You Think
Review: Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt is a great fantasy book. Have you ever think about living forever? This book gives us the chance to think about what the life is, how people should live and why creature must die through the beautiful story.
There were two main families in this story, such as Fosters and Tucks. When Winnie Foster was exploring in her father's forest, she met Jesse Tuck by the spring. She was involved in the Tuck's mystery as soon as she found him. However they didn't need much time to fall in love each other. According this story she had tough decision of her eternity life. What was Winnie's answer?
I like that the author describes the scenes using metaphor and using contrast like between Fosters and Tucks, between Winnie and the stranger. I could enjoy imaginatively visual, too. There were full of romance, fantasy and mysteriousness. My favorite parts are the first and the end. I was exciting when author described Treegap village in the beginning of this book. Although, the ending when Tuck found Winnie's monument at the cemetery was very sad, on the other hand I felt relief at that time. The growth of Winnie was very successful and strong. She could choose either way which were eternity life or death. Winnie made a tough decision. If I were Winnie, I'm not sure I could choose right way or not. I like Winnie's amazing experience and decision.
I recommend this book to any generations, because people need to think about life and death sometime. This book is not only serious but also romantic and beautiful story!

Summary: The lives
Review: One of the famous books written by Natalie Babbitt is `Tuck Everlasting'. This story is like a love story and a fantasy. Main characters are Tuck's family, Tuck Mae Mile and Jesse, and Winnie. Tuck's family has a secret since they drank water. The water was special water. The secret is they die never and they never get older. No one knows about that, but one day Winnie found their secret. They don't want people found their secret and drink the water, because they know the importance of the death than anyone. So they were afraid Winnie would tell people their secret and drink the water. That's why they kidnapped her, and then they told her the importance of death. This is one of the most interesting parts. You can read each of their thinking for living forever except Jesse. Since Jesse loved Winnie. He asked Winnie to drink the water some years later, and marry him. It's also one of the most interesting parts of the book if she drinks the water or not. At the end of the book, you can recognize her decision. These characters make me think the live and death. Every character has their own thinking, and I can understand all of them. I want you to read their thinking and think about the live.
All people are afraid of their death include of me. However it's our destiny, then we can't avoid dying. If there is the water, would I drink the water? Would you drink? I'm not sure. Probably almost all of us have thought before why we live, what we live for, or where we go after death. These questions don't have a correct answer and it's the everlasting question. However I think we have to think and share our thinking each other. Some of them say they live to enjoy their life. The other says to earn a lot of money and live wealthy is the purpose of their life. And the other says also to get the place of honor is the most important in their life. On the other hand there are some people who don't think about that. I can't say which one is better or worse. It depends on the person what he/she thinks. However I think the purpose of my life is to have descendant and give someone something. I can't explain well, but I think to have descendant is a mission. Then I want to give something. For example love, influence and so on. I don't mean the love is only between men and women. It's very hard work to love the person who picks on me, because I'm not a god. However I want to try. I think I have to do that. Also I want to give a good influence, too. It's my opinion. Then I hope this book gives you the chance to think about the lives.

Summary: EXCELLENT
Review: Tuck Everlasting is one of the best books I have ever read. It's about this rich girl named Winnie Foster who has lived in style for the past ten years and she's tired of it. She's tired of being rich and she's tired of having no friends because of it.
Then one morning she decides to go and explore her family's forest and there she meets Jesse. Jesse is a boy that drank an everlasting water that made him live forever. He's really 104 years old but he looks only seventeen. Jesse explains too much about the water so his brother, Miles, is forced to kidnap her and make her swear not to tell anyone else about it.
Winnie is miserable because she thinks that the family is going to kill her and she thinks that she will never see her family again. But after a while she grows to like the family. Jesse and Miles's parents are Mae and Angus Tuck. They are very kind to her and also drank the sacred water. When they first explain it to her, she thinks that they are all crazy and doesn't believe them.
But after a while she begins to see how this makes sense. Things go wrong when a man in a yellow suit comes and wants to sell the water for a fortune.
This book is romantic and also adventurous. I enjoyed it a lot and I'm positive that you will too.
