Summary: This book [stinks]
Review: This review is a joint effort between me and my younger brother, both of whom were forced to read 'Johnny Tremain' in school. The book is one of that sort of historical fiction that seems sickeningly contrived, attempting against all better literary judgement to pack in extra "historical facts". In style, it most resembles one of those unhappy nursery stories that we tell to disobedient children in order to make them feel guilty and scared and turn from their wicked ways. In the process, characters are created whom readers have no empathy for, whose sole purpose is to make us vow never to be as stupid as they are. It makes readers wish they would just drop off the face of the planet before we have to hear anything more about them. Not only that, but the story is not even accurate to history or human nature; its unconditional portrayal of Americans as heroic men and women (except, of course, the contemptibly immoral main characters) and villification of every last action of the British create an unbalanced perspective which seems rather wrong to teach to children. I vote to remove this book from every required reading list known to man. I would give it zero stars if that were an option. This concludes our merciless pounding of this dreadful work of literature (if you can call it that with a straight face).

Summary: Living in a world of pain
Review: Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes is a great American story. The deep plot of this story shows the adventures and troubles of a young orphan silversmith living in newly founded Boston during the beginning of the revolutionary war. Esther Forbes' character Johnny Tremain is one that shows how to deal with problems, and work through many exciting events. He is an arrogant worker, who knows just how good he was, now with his work impairing injury; he has to change the way he acts. Forbes' diction leaves you sitting on the edge of your seat drooling for more. She works to keep your attention, but at the same time gives a very important life lesson about growing up and overcoming troubles. A boy is faced with more problems in the span of a year, than most of us will ever face in our life. This unbelievable book gives you a glance at what the Revolutionary War was like, and some of the scenes draw you into the story, as if your there. The cannons and guns going off, the people around, this exiting tale was well written and will always keep your attention.

Review: Johnny Tremain is a great book with few defects. It has action, adventure, excitement and drama. Some of the action is all the fighting and warring. Some of the adventure is the retreating under enemy fire and causing the fire. Some of the excitement is the fighting and planning. Some of the drama is the solders dying and being wounded. I liked the book and I hope you do too.

Summary: Johnny Tremain
Review: Johnny Tremain is an average book about a 14 year old boy named Johnny. Johnny is an apprentice silversmith who is proud, and a bit arrogent. His life is dramaticaly changed when his hand is burned with molten silver. I gave Johnny Tremain 3 stars because the plot is a little hard to understand. Johnny Tremain is barely #10 on my top ten wish list. Johnny Tremain is reccomended to people who liked My Brother Sam is Dead.

Review: Johnny Tremain is a cool book I'm saying that because Johnny was a boy with a bad hand and was looking for work at a really young age. The thing I liked about Johnny was his bravery he had. Another brave thing he did was go to war when he was really young. This book was the greatest book I ever read in my life. I think you should read this book. I'm not going to give you the ending; I'm leaving that to you to find out. I would tell you one more thing; bravery is necessary.

Summary: Johnny Tremain
Review: Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes is a great book fill with excitement and action. The main character is Johnny. He was a silversmith in Boston Massachusetts. The story starts out all boring but then it gets better. Some one would think that Johnny was going to be a silversmith but that all changes. It changes when a very bad thing happens. But there was still hope after the accident. Over all this was one of the best books I have ever read.

Summary: Johnny Tremain
Review: Johnny Tremain is a good book and bad because the book is about a boy named Johnny who at first is selfish then changes. Johnny is starts out as a silver smith apprentice. Later on he becomes the person who delivers the Boston Observer to everybody who is has subscribed to it. He becomes part of famous historical events. I think this book is good because it has action and adventure. The reason I think this book has some bad parts because in the book it has too many characters and not enough plot. At the end it sounds almost as if there is going to be a sequel. It also has some parts where it needs more facts about what is happening. .If you like books with action, adventure and a hint of history than this is the book for you, but if you do not like books that have holes to many names and not much plot than do not waste your time on this.

Review: Johnny is a boy that works for the Hancock's; he was a very good silver smith. His mother died and he burned his hand with silver, Johnny had a very difficult life. He struggles in his life with only one hand that works. This book gets very interesting how Johnny's life goes later on the book. I liked this book because it has lots of action in it. This book really helps when you are studying the American Revolution. Another reason that this book is great is how he fixes his problem that he has. I really recommend this book if you like action and fighting.

Summary: Trouble, Trouble, Trouble
Review: Johnny Tremain is about a boy named Johnny Tremain. He lives in the household of the Laphams with Pricilla, Isannah, Madge, Dorcas, Dove, Dusty, Mr. Lapham and Mrs. Lapham. Johnny is an apprentice silversmith who takes on a job to make a smaller copy of a silver cup. He burns his hand working on a Sunday and when he takes off the bandage the fingers are grown together. He is also a Lyte, one of the richest families in America. When he reveals it to the public he is put in jail for impersonation. He sets out to find another job and finds one at a printing press. There he meets Rab and joins the Patriot side in the Revolutionary War. He is a part of the Boston Tea Party and fights a little bit. I think you should read this book if you like books about war because it is mainly about the Revolutionary War.
