Summary: "The Light..." was a very good book, except for the ending.
Review: The Light in the Forest is a book about a fifteen year old white boy that was raised by Indians, but he's currently returning to his biological family. This book was okay, to an extent. At first, the book seems so boring, but the further you read, the more interesting it gets. This story gives you an insight on how it was back in those days, when the Indians and whites were fighting over land. And it also makes you wonder: is family the people that brought you into this world, or the people that raise you, love you, and care for you when your sick? This book was fairly well. I suggest this book only for people who can handle the emotions and in-depthness that is involved with this book. I also suggest this book because it will help you realize who you are, and where you come from, and it also tells you that life is full of ups and downs, and the only way to survive is if you surround yourself with people that care about you, and you also have to face your problems; don't run away, be strong. Cowards run away from problems.

Summary: zzzzzzz
Review: What? Hey! No fair! I can't give this book no stars?! Ugh! I was forced to read this book in school. I'm not finished with it just yet...I'm on chapter 13 out of 15 though. It's terrible. Like I said, I am on chapter 13....three things have happened so far. 1)The kid goes to Pennsylvania 2)The kid meets his white dad 3)The kid runs away. Sounds fun, huh? It's terrible. I don't suggest this book unless you are having trouble sleeping. This will solve all your sleeping problems.

Summary: Touching, Interesting, and Definatly Worth the Time
Review: This books is interesting, touching, and definatly worth the time I had to spend reading it over the summer. As I was reading the reviews I was very surprised at the comments saying how bad it is, but most of them are from younger kids in the 5-7 grades, who had to read it for their summer reading, so I really didn't pay attention. I love books and although I am giving it 5 stars I think that the ending could have been a little better. I think that the Indian words Richter added in made the book more interesting. What moved me even more than True Sons thoughts was how he dealt with situations and how he remembered his adopted father's words. I think that the White settlers who claimed to be his parents shouldn't have been so selfish and narrow minded, they should have taken notice and faced to the fact that their "son" was no longer one of them due to their carelessness. This book is great and I think that anyone who would enjoy a brief but good read should get this book. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: The rapping up excitment of what many people had to face.
Review: I have to admit I was dismayed by the bad remarks given by this book. Although I read it a few years ago I remember it being wonderful and exciting. This is a wonderful book for those interested in American history, historical fiction, or indians. I would not rule out this book. And as one person said that the book was all thoughts not action, thoughts are what make it so you can relate to the book and makes it more personal not to mention that's how you get to know the characters.

Summary: An Absolutly horrid book.
Review: Ughhhhhhh!!!!! This book was absolutly horrible and terribly uneventful. It was as sappy story and I cant believe Ms. O'malley made us read it for sixth grade reading. It was too easy. The entire class hated it!

Summary: THIS BOOK STINKS
Review: I don't mean to be frank or rude, but I don't like survival stories in general, and this book really pushed it, I'm sorry but was this book supposed to be good, or was the author not sure if he was writing or sleeping. Please for your own good DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!!

Summary: Beautifully told.
Review: Deservedly a classic, "The Light in the Forest" continues to stand out as a novel for young readers and lovers of history alike. Told in Conrad Richter's simple but poetic prose style, the book chronicles a white boy's struggle to readjust to his family after being raised by Indians in the early days of the American Republic. Richter's ability to tell several sides of a story at once enable us feel the pain of both True Son and his families. A wonderful book by a great American writer.

Summary: Ms. Pronowitz WHY OH WHY???
Review: This book was very bad. It started off with a plot that fell apart with the boring yet meaningful(yeah right) Indian culture. True Son definately thought to himself way too much in this book{readers rather read action or dialogue instead of thoughts} and it would have never happened. I think that whoever reads this or is planning on reading it should read it quick to get it over with. Also, don't worry, the test is not hard.

Summary: Great historical read for Middle-schoolers
Review: After reading this book with my seventh grade class, I must say it is a well written book which expresses its historical theme with great success. Although the story line and historical references are excellant, I feel the ending is quite disapointing.
