Rating: Summary: Bridge to Manhood Review: This is a wonderful book full of all sorts of adventures and troubles. It is about a boy who learns the value of friendship and how hard it is to deal with some of life's situations. I think this is a good book for someone who may have lost a friend or family member.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful Writing...Bad Message Review: I have read this. I have read many books. Written many stories. I'm a student in high school, and I still remember crying over this book when in grade five. It was so beautiful. Such strong friendship in this book...but then, like everything else it was lost. I believe the presence and way DEATH is portrayed is very wrong in this book. Death, as always, is portrayed with such strength and power, while hopes and dreams are shattered. I do not think a child should read this. It sends the message that nothing is real in the end, for death takes everything away. If you believe children should 'learn' about death then let your child read this book, but if you like to teach your child that hope and love truly exist in life then I do not suggest this book. (It is, however, written very well, and praise for Katherine's writing skills!)
Rating: Summary: A well written book Review: The book Bridge to Terabithia is a story of two friends with a world all their own. Jess, the first of the two, is a shy kid with some dreams and ambitions. Leslie is a tomboy with a big imagination, and fast. On the first day of school, she proves herself faster than any of the boys in third, fourth and fifth grades. Although Jess was shy of her at first, once they became friends almost nothing could seperate them. It is Leslie with her imagination who comes up with the idea to create a coutry just for them, with them as the rulers of it. Jess readily agrees with her, and they build a 'castle' across the stream in the woods. Leslie names their country Terabithia. Together, both of the friends have some excititing experiances. Then, after months of close friendship, the two are seperated for good. It is hard for Jess to learn to accept the fact that he will never see Leslie again, until he realizes that she gave him so much, and he needs to return it to the world. I thought that this book was a fairly good book, although the setting was very different from my own home. Most of the charectors are unjust, not at all like my life. I especially liked Jess and Leslie's charectors, and I would recomend this book to people who enjoy reading about every-day life with a little fantasy mixed in.
Rating: Summary: The first book to make me cry Review: I read this for the first time in fifth grade. I was prepared to hate it. I loved it from the first page. Truly moving. It haunted me for a long time.
Rating: Summary: Bridge to Terabithia Review: This is such a powerful book about a friendship that changes two children. Leslie and Jess at first aren't the best of friends. That soon changes when Jess realizes what a great person Leslie is. She is unlike anyone Jess has met. A tragedy causes growth in one character and a ending for another.
Rating: Summary: This book was terrible!! Review: I had to read this book 4 school & I was kinda excited 2 read it, cuz every body raved on & on how good, how sad it was. I would never recomend this book. If your thinking of reading this book, don't. You'll be happy u didn't, trust me. ~Atalanta
Rating: Summary: Incredible Imagination. Review: I read this book in middle school and just cried and cried. The book explains a wonderful friendship that develops between Jess and Leslie and the adventures that they make-believe in their imaginary world- Terabithia. They fight magical dragons and hold grand feasts in their castle where the lord and lady dwell. What an incredible coming-of-age book. I searched and searched for this book after having read it about 10 years ago, I'm so glad I found it and reread it, my son will read this book and I hope he loves it just as much as I did.
