Summary: GOOD BOOK FOR EARLY READERS
Review: I read this book in 6th grade and finished it in two weeks! I couldn't put it down, well... I have to admit that it did get boring 3/4 of the way done. I'd also find myself skipping pages, then having to read the whole chapter again (mostly because of all the characters). The "tea party" thing-a-ma-jig was pretty interesting along with the.................well, read the book to find out. As I said, a great book for young adult readers, but Johnny Tremain could have been better.

Summary: Johnny Tremain
Review: I thought this book was great! I skipped a few lines because I was dying to know what had happened. I would suggest this book to anyone who is mature enough to like it.

Summary: BAD BAD BOOK!!!!!!
Review: This is one book I could live without. Johnny was an irresponsible brat. I liked it when Pumpkin died. I think the best part was the Boston Tea Party. Cilla and Isannah were by far the worst characters in the book. For your sake don't read the book. Please listen to me.

Summary: GREAT HISTORICAL FICTION!
Review: I love Historical Fiction, so this book was just my kind of book. It was exciting from start to finish. I really could relate to Johnny and enjoyed going thru all his adventures with him. Some of those kids who reviewed the book before me who thought it was boring probably did not understand all that Johnny had to go thru just to make it during those hard times. He was strong and smart. The only thing I would have changed is to make the story longer because I would like to have continued reading about his life as he got older.

Summary: One of the best books from my childhood!
Review: As a child, I read many, many, many books. I was always reading. This book was one of the best. The idea of historical fiction was new to me then, but I appreciated it quickly. This book brought to life historical characters and made them real. The only caveat would be to ensure that the reader is old enough for the subject (somewhere around 11 or 12).

Summary: How the heck did this win the Newbery award?!
Review: Johnny Tremain is one of the slowest book I've ever read! It has way to many characters (at least half of them the story could do without), that made it not very easy to follow. How t ever won the newbery award, is something i'll never know. I don't think you'll like Johnny Tremain.

Summary: A Great Book You Definately Don't Want To Pass It Up
Review: Johnny Tremain was one of the best books I've ever read, but it's only a good book for people mature enough to read it. It is not some action packed book for peole who crave violence but it is great in it's own way. The book puts the reader in very interesting historical events and at the same time gives you some fiction of it's own.

Summary: WONDERFUL
Review: This is an amazing book. The begining just reaches out and grabs you, so you continue reading. This main plot is so interesting, you cant put it down, and the end, my only complaint, is that it ends very quickly. It just STOPS. I think a sequel should be produced for the end is too sudden. Yet Overall, this is an exelent book. I suggest it to anyone over 12. Even if you are 85, you WILL enjoy this book. Anyone who doesnt, well, I cant think of anything written better, or more interesting than Johnny Tremain. Thank You :)

Summary: The best book ever, REALLY
Review: Amazingly, i find people above saying this book is dull. I disagree. Johnny Tremain tells the interesting story of Boston in the 1700s. I read this book for my seventh grade book report, and have never in my life, before that project, or now, after it, found a better book. Johnny Tremain deserves a sequel, because though it starts out wonderfully, and throughout is amazing, the end it quick, and cliffhung. Esther Forbes should continue with this topic. She write very well.

Summary: A Mediocre Book
Review: Unlike most books, this one started out with pizzaz and was interesting from the very beginning. The end (or mostly the second half of this book) was dull, dumb, lifeless, boring, ambigous, and altogether a terrible read. I forced myself to finish it and found myself asleep with the book on the floor next to me quite often. If the beginning of this book wasn't so good I would give this book a one star rating, which it doesn't even deserve. For those looking for historical fiction wrapped in drama and excitement you won't find it here.
