Summary: What A Great Book
Review: I find that some people find this sexist, but this has good Biblical teaching. In the Bible it says that men should lead and that women should love their husbands, but if you stopped there, you would be selective reading. It also says to men, treat your wife as you would treat yourself and it says we are equal. In the book, yes the women were stubborn, selfish, and totally backward, but only because they were born and taught to be that way. Women are led with emotions and at the end (sorry for giving it away) are shown this. I think that he did a good job writing this book. The women abused the guys and treated them like dirt but when the guys turned it around they treated them equally and that is how it should be.

Review: No positive spiritualism, here. Just an adventure story where boys know best, and a foreign culture managed by women and girls depicts all strong women as pushy idiots. Skip this one.

Review: This is one of my favorite books in the whole series! As a young woman I thought the it was great that Gilbert turned the tables around for the male characters in this story. Some points in the book were very humorous, like the football game, but what I learned from this story is that dominence is not the answer in any relationship, may it be husband and wife, friends, or siblings. In a relationship there must be compramise and an understanding that each and every one of us is equal in God's sight. That was the main point that I got from this story. This series is one of the best teen and young adult series in Christian fiction that I have ever read. I started reading this series in elementry and ended it in Junior High. Now a lot older, I still re-read it from time to time. I would recommend this book to anyone any age.

Review: Though the Sleeper series seem to have a wonderful following, this book missed the mark. I was shocked to be confronted by my outraged son-in-law. In many places in the middle and toware the end, you can find obviously obnoxious depictions of the female characters. <i>To be strong of will is to be willfully wrong?</i> Sorry, we believe otherwise. Go for the gold, folks: Harry Potter doesn't let us done. We enjoyed another tale entitled the Amazon Story Bones - a unique tale as told through the eyes of a young Amazon.
