The Light in the Forest

Rating:
Summary: A good book for young readers!
Review: I thought that The Light In The Forest is an excellent choice for young readers. It takes you back into the 1700's when a white child at 4, is taken by the Indians and raised in the Indian culture. But at the age of 15, the boy has to be returned to his white family. True Son, the boy, is very unhappy about having to return. He hates his white family, his new house, and the white way of life. I give the book 3 stars because it has a poor ending.

Summary: A wonderous and inspirational novel.
Review: You have to read this book, ok it may be boring just a little bit but I really enjoyed it. I always love reading novels like these. This book inparticular inspired me to start writing novels about America and how it was in the past. Well good luck, you will like the book at the end trust me.

Summary: One of the best books I have read.
Review: I've read this book several times since I was in grade school (over 30 years ago) and I find it an inspiring and moving book each time I read it. This book also introduced me to many other of Conrad Richter's fine short novels.

Review: Although its been years since I read this book, I find myself buying it again. I read it when I was in school and loved it, now I'm reading it to my children. I think for those that dont like it really dont understand it. To bad for them.

Summary: The worst book I have ever been made to read.
Review: This book was so boring. It went on and on and on about how the whites didn't like the Indians. It stunk like...... it just stunk.

Rating:
Summary: After interesting start, there is an awful end
Review: The book started out great. It had character developement and everything. But once True Son had gone to his white family's house, it went spiraling downhill.

Rating:
Summary: Interesting short, but chalanging book.
Review: This book was an exelent choice for the eith grade pentathalon. Although it is short, the author was sure to include lots of interesting facts to hold your attention. The author cleaverly added Indain names from the Delaware (Lenni Lanape) language to make the reading leavel higher. Allthough not all of the words are explained, most of the words you can infer their meanings. It is an interesting book about the cultural clashes beetween the setlers of the US and the Indains that already inhabit the land. The book has minimal political veiws expressed with only ocational (only mentioned, not explained) violence. The book has a very good arangment of sapy to serious expereances that alot of people can realate to. This is a good book for adolecence, and at only 120 pages an quick read for a book report.

Review: The light in the forest was a very interesting book. I liked it beause it kept me on the edge of my feet. Throughout the whole book I had to keep guessing what might happen next.If I had to read this book again I would quite possibly do it by choice.
