Summary: Interesting Book, Good Read If You Like Drama
Review: Johnny Tremain was a vey interesting book. It was kind of slow in the beginning but towards the middle it became very interesting. I didnt really like Isahannh,she is a complete spoiled brat! I could never live with her she seems so annoying, I'd go crazy! Now I could probably get along with Cilla, she seems really nice. If Mrs.Lapham was my mom i'd run away! Rab seems really nice, he would be a great friend! Well if you like drama this book is a good pick to read if you dont like stories about guys mostly dont pick this book but it could be interesting you never know.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The war against the British
Review: I like the book because it was talking about history. It was fun to read about how the americans lost against the British the first time.Then they won against the british the second time. I thought that when good people to johnny died i felt like crying. Like if one of my family members that died in the war like if it was my older brother or my dad.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Johnny Tremain
Review: I think this book was good because I like war books. It had a lot of adventures that I liked. It was a fun book and I would tell more people to read it if they like a good book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A book to grow on
Review: I first read and loved this book when I was eleven years old.(Never mind how long ago that was.) Since then it has remained one of the favorite books of my childhood. Johnny, Rab, Cilla and Dov become very real people due to the author's skill and the story lingers for decades. Even now, when someone mentions the "forgotten" revolutionary, John Otis, or the cantakerous Sam Adams, it is my memories of them in this book that come to mind. Esther Forbes gave a blessing to the whole world when she wrote this book. Read it. Treasure it.

Summary: Max Version
Review: Johnny Tremain was a fabolous book. I mean considering he burnt his hand he was still able to do work like cooking and carving.
It was a shock when I found out what job he indended up with i won't tell you it will give it away. Who would have guessed that? Not me!
When the British declared war I couldn't stop reading it i got sucked into it. Of course the words were almost to small to read I managed.
The part that I didn't like was that when it got interesting it gave away all of the answers.
But overall it was a good book And I think you should read it. Another author you might like is Mark Twain, because whenever I read a book of his I got sucked into it like idid with Johnny Tremain.
I truly don't like war books, but I liked Johnny Tremain. That's why I think you should read it.

Summary: Johnny Tremain not recommended
Review: This book was written well, but the plot was just boring. Awful book to try to read. I don't reccomend it AT ALL!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Excellent Adventure...But Teachers Be Warned
Review: Johnny Tremain is one of the best books I have ever read. It is the story of a fourteen-year-old silversmith's apprentice who is very talented, but a bit proud and arrogant. His life is suddenly completely changed when an accident leaves him with a maimed and useless hand, and he is unable to continue his trade. Johnny eventually befriends and older boy called Rab, and is thrown into the fear and excitement surrounding the Revolution when he begins working for a rebel newspaper, The Boston Observer. Although this is a wonderful and masterfully written book, I thouroughly warn teachers against assigning it to their History or Social Studies class. Kids either really love it, or really despise it, and some parts are a bit dragged out.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: very good book

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An introduction to historical fiction
Review: That said, I don't see how ANYONE wouldn't like this book! I first read it when I was in the 8th grade and I loved it. I'd recommend it to anyone who's interested in reading it. To the kid and his teacher who think it's boring, I say WAKE UP! Kid, you need to get to bed earlier. You were probably tired from watching late night television. Teach, I suggest you read the whole thing through.

Rating: 5 stars
