Summary: December + Stillness = Greatness!
Review: December Stillness is a great, easy-to-read, story of a girl who wants to get to know a veteran for a school paper. The book is great!!! You can get inside of Kelly's head and feel what she feels. When with her frieds I could totally understand what was going on in her mind.

Bottom Line: Great book, must read!

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: The most touching book i've ever read
Review: December Stillness is one of the best books i've ever read. It is sad and could easily happen to anyone.This is Mary Dowing Hahn's best book. I'm not a major fan of realistic fiction but this book i could not put down. Mr.Weems who is a vietnam vet. had no friends and wanted no friends but was stumbled onto a girl named Kelly. She Eventually wanted to be her friend but he refused her. This book is an award winner and should be read by all who enjoys a great,unpredictable and sad novel. It touched my heart on how Kelly tried to help Mr. Weems and he refused her. All she wanted was a friend. I think this is a great teen novel. It has a great story to it and also a great lesson.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: December Stillness
Review: I didn't like this book one bit. Kelly was stupid in my opinion. She shouldn't of bothered Mr. Weems. I shuttered when they spoke of how she dressed. I don't think this book is very good and I wouldn't have even thought about reading it if my teacher hadn't made me.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Oh Please!
Review: I had to read this book for a school assignment. The assignments were fantastic helping me get into something deeply and understand something far better than I ever had. But the book choice was not very good. If you're reading this, then you probably know what the story is about, girl needs to write paper on homeless and befriends Hobo. There's ONE surprise that I could totally see a mile away. Shallow and predictable, poor word choice and unrealistic characters. I found this book to be one of my least favorites. Except for every book i ever had to read by Betsy Byars. But besides these two authors, I love reading. I love reading meaningful haert wrenching books that ACTUALLY touck me, like "Flowers for Algernon" or "Walk Two Moons". This book was mediocre at best. I give it three stars because I feel that there is something to be said about how everything ties in a little bit at the end and Kelly is friends with her father. But I'm going to stick with "Lord of the Flies" and "Holes" Thank you very much.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: December Stillness
Review: I really enjoy reading Mary Downing Hahn's books. This book gives a good introduction for teen readers to understand just a little bit from different points of view from war veterans. But I'll admit the book did move a little slower than her other books. But other than that, it was another good read with a surprising ending and touching chapters that made you keep reading.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Stinky Stillness
Review: I think December Stillness was way too sad and horrible. It also did not teach me a lesson, give me many emotions, or surprise me. None of the above- if it did do those things to me it would have been a great book. There was no point of it and i would never want to read another book like it! There was hardly a theme to it either.

Summary: THE BEST BOOK!!!!!!!!
Review: The book, December Stillness is one of the best out of my two favorite books that I have ever read. I mmust tell you that reading is definetly not my favorite thing to do at all, but when I read a book and like it, That means that it is really really good! I think this book is best for teens, and young adult readers but should be read by all. It is a sad, touching book that can capture many peoples hearts and should not be ignored! You should read it. TRUST ME!! ITS THE BEST!!!!!!!!

Rating: 1 stars
