Leaving Home: Stories

Rating:
Summary: My thought's.
Review: During our time we tend to read many book that honestly don't interest many people. I myself have read many books and "Leaving Home" a book with many short stories sure will be one of my favorites for now on. It is a book with many incredible stories about the authors personal experiences. After reading many of the short stories if Leaving Home I can honestly say their lives seem very familiar when I talk to friends about this book, In retrospect I myself found a story that sounded very familiar to my childhood. I truly recommend this book to anyone who loves to read as much I do.

Summary: leaving home: just a state of mind
Review: how many times have we gone through an overboring period in our teenage years when we felt that we couldn't expand our horizons? how many times were we either excited, concerned, or upset about something that happened during our chilhood? this is what leaving home is about, states of mind. it's easy to read a story, but it may not be that easy to live it. however, it's easy to picture it in your head, and that happens whenever a story is well-related. In Leaving Home you don't get anything besides plenty of well-related personal passages that changed somebody's life, and they can make you realize how or when did your life changed.

Summary: its nice
Review: i like it and the discussion of our class never stop
talking about this book. also the short story is well
written because of the author's life. they find
new beginning like the book called the circuit. it
is about a young boy who changes to another place.
also a lot of different stories that tell about life
struggling. some will show happiness and some will
be sad.
but anyways i like it and hopefully someone who will
read my review will know why i like the book.

Summary: It's a wonderful book
Review: Leaving Home is a wonderful anthology of stories by d
different authors who make you feel if your really in the story
in the story.Ireally like reading Allan Sherman A
Gift Of Laughter because the father and the son
had similar characteristic.They both reacted in the same way same
same way when they were talk to in a manner that they didn't
didn't like.In Leaving Home some their decision was
either based on a choice that they had to make or
their parents sendin them away on vacation.

Summary: The Book to Pay Attention to
Review: Leaving home was a good book with alot of different stories. To me I think that this book was interesting to read and it makes me want to read more books similar to it. The stories that are in the book all are about leaving home and going on trips and just not being at home. The story that I like the best was Bad Influence because i had to do a presentation on that story. Most of the stories in the book were pretty good. I would reccomened this book to some of my classmates and friends that are in school as well. According to the stories in the book I think that it would be good to leave home and go on a vacation like in the stories.

Summary: A good pick as a reading book for a freshman
Review: This book consists of 15 carefully chosen short
stories about people who had to (for some reason)
leave home and how they deal with it. Hazel Rochman
and Darlene Z.McCampbell have done a nice job to
gather this stories form 15 famous authors including
Amy Tan, Tim O'Brien and Toni Morrison( a nobel
prise winner and a Princeton University professor).
It's an easy read and you won't be sorry of reading
it.
