Summary: Johnny Tremain is a REALLY bad book!
Review: At the beginning of 7th grade everybody had to read Johnny Tremain. At first the book was slow but that's how most books are at the beginning so I read on to get to the "good" part but it wasn't there! If it hadn't been assinged to us I would have ripped the book up and thrown it away! Half the people in my grade didn't read it because they were hated it and didn't care if they failed the tests, the other half of my grade hated it but read it because they wanted to get good grades on their tests. I would definatly not recomend this book unless you have to read it.

Summary: The world's best historical fiction!
Review: Johnny Tremain is about a 16 year old boy who loves adventures he is related to a very rich man named Mr.Lyte. Johnny Tremain's name is really Johnathon Lyte Tremain. His mother was Mr.Lyte's sister so Johnny Tremain is Mr.Lyte's nephew. Mr.Lyte is a mean and grumpy man, but he gets it back in this wonderful story Johnny Tremain. The book has a message too.The message is although you are handycapped/hurt you don't have to act helpless. Johnny didn't so you don't have to either. What is great about the book is that it has a lot of details of what, who, when or where the people are or look like. Although there wasn't any pictures, the details were so good I could picture them in my head. I would probably reccomend this book to adults and readers of the right age.

Summary: A great book for the Revalutionary War
Review: At the beginning in the first paragraph the book goes slow and isn't very exciting. But, later on it really takes off. It was also detailed which made the book very exciting. There was also a lot of characters which also made the book interesting and easier to understand. At the end it kind of leaves the book a mystery but that way you can make up you're own ending. I would really reccomend this book. It's good for all readers kids to adults.

Summary: Read it only if you need help falling asleep!
Review: No one needs night time medicines anymore! You can just pick up a copy of Johnny Tremain and trust me you'll be asleep in no time! There is no plot, the characters are boring, and the only person i knew who read it in middle school and didn't file for child abuse is my 70 year old english teacher! If you want to learn about the revolutionary war, pick up a history book! Im sure you'll enjoy it more.

Summary: Johnny Tremain ROCKS
Review: The book Johnny Tremain deserves five stars! I loved the book for its revolutionary story and touching ending. The characters were very well developed. Esther Forbes did a great job writing this book. The plot was terrific. Johnny Tremain seemed very real. His feelings and views we can all relate too. I loved Rab, expecially. His character was always mysterious and ahead of Johnny. I can see how Johnny was so intrigued with him when they first met. I would be, too. His confidence made him appear very mature, and his ambitions and good intentions made him a man. All in all, read Johnny Tremain; you will not regret it! It was a great book, definately my favorite!

Summary: One of my all-time favorites
Review: Cocky, insecure Johnny Tremain remains on of my favorite fictional people. And his book remains one of my favorite stories. A few reasons why: The characterizations in this book are wonderful. No one is painted in strictly black and white. Even the apparent villains have their good qualities. The setting, as well, is fascinating and well-researched. Esther Forbes did, after all, win a Pulitzer Prize for history. She knew what she was describing and presented it well. The whole book has a great "you-are-there" quality. I first read Johnny Tremain in the sixth grade and must have read it twenty times in a row (mostly skipping the ending, which is sad). Then I got out the encyclopedia and read the article on the American Revolution. Now I'm majoring in history.

Summary: More than good fiction, more than history.
Review: I am a Dad with an 8 yr old boy. I highly recommend this book for kids from about 8 or 9 through adulthood. This book is not just about Boston and the American Revolution. It is one of the best books I have read about: - real life characters, good and bad. - understanding others, and oneself. - making choices in life. - and, a fair portrayal of a rare event; A small group of Whigs who changed the world for the better. The American experiment was so brilliant that most people in the world still do not understand it. That includes most Americans. Many countries have tried to copy this experiment. Many Americans would like to end the experiment. Johnny Tremain is a powerful book that reminds us that ordinary people created something very extraordinary.

Summary: Johnny Tremain: A boys journey to manhood
Review: I read this book in school. It provides a lot of information about what causes the Revolutionary War, but does not explain much about what happens during the Revolutionary War. It shows a young boys (Johnny Tremain) journey through Boston as certain circumstances make him change courier paths. This story is okay. It is not that exciting but if you like history you will enjoy it.
