Summary: Who would have thought...
Review: that a book on such a serious topic could be so much fun to read? If someone had come up to me and asked "Would you like to read a book about free will?", I probably would have just said "No way." But Blue Avenger turned out to be one of the funniest things I've read in a while. It all starts on his 16th birthday, when David Schumacher decides to change his name to Blue Avenger after a character he created. In doing so he becomes a unique sort of superhero, simply solving everyday problems, like finding the perfect lemon meringue pie recipe. (I tried it, and it really honestly doesn't weep.)There's plenty of humor along the way, as in the memorable condom-buying scene and classroom discussion. There's a romantic side, thanks to his close friend Omaha Nebraska Brown. There are small seemingly meaningless moments that come back in the end, somewhat like Harry Potter. And of course, there's the free will issue- it really makes you think without taking over the story or getting boring and technical. I knew very little about free will before reading this, but now I can honestly say I have an opinion on it.

Is it realistic? Not really. But will it make you think and laugh out loud? You bet. And that's the whole point anyway.

Summary: A Book About a Superhero
Review: THE ADVENTURES OF THE BLUE AVENGER is a book about a sixteen year old boy becoming the Blue Avenger. I gave my story three stars out of five, because I don't really like the idea of becoming a superhero. I didn't like reading this book, and it wasn't even close to the best book I've ever read. The only part that was interesting was a sixteen year old punk, becoming a hero. Other than that, I didn't like it. it's hard to follow, and it's way too long, it took forever to read. Three stars isn't bad, but it wasn't the best. I would have rather picked something else to read. What kind of name is the Blue Avenger? Overall I didn't like it, it's not even close to a four, or a five.

Summary: A Great Book to read
Review: The Adventures of The Blue Avenger is a fictional book written by Norma Howe. I enjoyed this book because of many reasons. The first reason I enjoyed this book is because there was a bit of reality in the fictional book. Some of the events in the story may have been based on real life, which interested me from the beginning of the book until the end. I also enjoyed this book because of the theme and plot. I enjoyed this because Norma Howe went and showed the theme and the plot quite often and well so, that made me really enjoy this book.
I also liked "The Adventures of the Blue Avenger," because it is entertaining, with the twists that develop in the plot. I also like how this book can relate to some problems that we face today in the world. I also liked the book because the book was very interesting and wanted me to keep on reading it until the end. These are some of the main reasons that I enjoyed the book so much.
The story is about a 16 year old boy named David Schumacher; David's father had died when he was thirteen in a car accident. On David's sixteenth birthday he changes his name to Blue Avenger (an idea he has been thinking about since he was younger), because David wants to be a superhero. The Blue Avenger was originally a cartoon character that David drew. During this story David changes his name to Blue Avenger. Now David is Blue Avenger "the secret champion of the underdog, modest seeker of truth fearless innovator of the unknown". He also completes many tasks that he never thought that he could do before in his life. During the course of the story Blue Avenger he helps to solve disputes and have a girlfriend that he always wanted to have. He becomes famous around the country for his heroics. He saves his principal from a deadly swarm of bees. He also helps pay for treatment for his friend so he can finally have this one girl go out with him. Blue solves crisis's such as helping the school press out. He also is trying to get his driver's license to drive a vehicle. His efforts to try and complete his dream drag on. His dream is to create a perfect non-weeping lemon meringue pie. Through even more of his ideas he helps solve a dispute at a child's birthday party. Once again he finds out that he becomes famous on not one, but two occasions.
Throughout the story Blue Avenger seeks the answer to the question of all questions. This question is "Do we control what we do in life, or are they predetermined by some force that we cannot comprehend?" He also takes on a major quest. This quest is to outlaw guns or bullets, because of the senseless violence and deaths. He discovers a new kind of secret way how to fight back without the senseless violence. Later on his girlfriend, Omaha Nebraska Brown, receives a letter from her brother. Blue Avenger, of course, helps her out, when she is in trouble and needs help. All throughout the story he tries to answer the question with Omaha Nebraska Brown to see if we are really the masters of our own fate or not.
Overall, I enjoyed this book very much. I recommend that people read "The Adventures of The Blue Avenger," because it is very fascinating and has many other good qualities a book should have. I suggest that people ages 10 and up should read this book, mostly because of the vocabulary.

Summary: Fun Philosophy
Review: The protagonist of The Adventures of Blue Avenger is sixteen-year old David Schumacher. The morning of his birthday he decides to change his name to Blue Avenger, the name of a cartoon character he has created. The change triggers a sequence of events that cause David, or rather, Blue, to accomplish the majority of the goals he has set for himself except for one: to find out if free will exists.
Though I could not put the book down it had its flaws. Mainly the plot and the point took away from each other. The author's writing style is humorous and light, making the concept of trying to find out whether or not free will exists one easier to digest and comprehend. However, her characters are so loveable and the book so quickly paced I was torn between wanting to race on ahead to see what would happen to David, or to stop and think about the points Norma Howe brought up.
For someone looking for a book focused on philosophy I would suggest Sophie's World instead.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: "THE ADVENTURES OF BLUE AVENGER" Stinks bad.
Review: This book was one of the worst books that I have ever read in my entire life. Having a story about a kid that doesn't like his name so he changes it to "Blue Avenger" is stupid. If anyone changed their name to something like that they would be considered a lunatic. Also, what is up with his "superhero" costume? A blue fishing vest and a blue towel around his head, people would think that he was a terrorist. Another thing is that what 16 year old kid want to be a superhero anyway. That is something little kids want to be.
Something else that bothered me about the book was about how it goes on and talks about things that have nothing to do with the story. Who really cares what happened at the same time that David decided to change his name to "Blue Avenger?
All and all I think that this book was the worst book that I ever read and I do not recommend this book to anyone.
