Summary: The inside scoop on FREEWILL
Review: Brianna October 31, 2002

Freewill By: Chris Lynch ISBN: 0-06-028117-4

"Are you listening? No, LISTEN. Down at the pond last night. Sombody was killed." In this realistic fiction, Will wants to be a pilot, but ended up in wood shop. He makes beautiful things. All of a sudden, he starts making wooden carvings. When a bunch of teen deaths happen and he is blamed he starts to investigate uncovering secrets that nobody wants to know.

Freewill was a definite page-turner that you won't be able to put down. It touches on aspects in life that almost every teenager goes through. This type of book could almost be classified as a murder mystery. It definitly keeps you on the edge of your seat. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes murderous, scary stories and is above the age of 13. I say that because there are a lot of swearing in this book and the style of writing (second person) is a little bit difficult to understand. For example. "How does it feel? Is the job done? Did you kill it, him, us? It is gone, Will? Is it better? Is it worse? Is it finished, or is it the beginning?
Who did you hit? What did you hit? Did it hurt? Who did it hurt?" Now you might think that this is someone talking and just asking a lot of questions, but it's not. This is pretty much how the whole narration of the book is. I couldn't figure out if this was Will's inner thought's or maybe someone communicting telepathically with him or what because it uses the word 'you' when talking about Will. But other than that it is a great book. It did, like I said, keep you on the edge of your seat and left you hanging at the end. So if I controlled everybody's actions I would definitly say, "Go get a copy of Freewill and read it NOW!"

Summary: freewill
Review: Freewill

Freewill is a very interesting book and it is a twisted tail full of death and mystery and murder Freewill has a lot of turns in the story. This book is about a girl that wants to commit suicide. She struggles with being an outcast and doesn't go to any one for help. She deals with a lot of people every day but doesn't call out for help. In the end .......
does she commit suicide or not? Read it to find out...
I recommend this book because,
it relates to the struggles of teens, and if you are a teenager she is about your age. You should read this.

Summary: The inside scoop on FREEWILL
Review: Freewill, by Chris Lynch.
If you like uncovering mysteries and secrets then you will definitely like this book. Freewill has a little bit of everything like suspense, imagination, revealing secrets, etc. It is a little confusing but the more you read, the more you understand.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: this is the worst
Review: I am a very determined reader so I forced myself to finish this book. This was awful. I had no idea what was going on during the story. More clues get discovered as you get into the book but I was getting very confused because they start the story talking as if you are the person in this whole book. I thought It was like a choose your own adventure and they were talking personally to me 'the reader'. Although in the story they were only his thoughts talking. But they use 'you' alot so you think you personally are involved. I felt the book was unfinished. Did he really do the murders? What was up with him in the ocean at the end?????? He just got up and out of the water and everything with his pops was alright again? It just didn't make much sense to me. I dont recommend this book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very Confusing...
Review: I picked up this book and even after first page I was like "What? Who said that? Who replied that? What does this have to do with the story? Huh?" after twenty more pages I was totally lost. I never even finished it. Why read a book you can't even understand? Some books are boring, but at least you can understand what's going on. I can't even say that much for this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Title
Review: One of the reviews are wrong. This story is NOT about a girl who is to commit suiside. I just wanted to clarify that. It is a book that one cannot exactly compare. When you finish reading it, it leaves you wondering......

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Confusing
Review: This book was perhaps the worst ever written by Chris Lynch. The thinking was muddled and the story seemed almost pointless. The book was written in second person narrative which made it super confusing and if I hadn't known about this beforehand I probably wouldn't have been able to finish the book. And once I finished the book, it was a welcomed relief. I had to fight my way through reading this book. I recommend that you pick up some of Chris Lynch's other works, which prove to be much more enjoyable reads.
