Summary: SAVE YOURSELF DON'T READ BEARSTONE
Review: Bearstone is a story about a Indian boy named Cloyd and an old man named Walter. Coyd has no parents and is sent to live with Walter. Walter gives Cloyd a horse, which becomes Cloyd's only real friend. In my opinion Bearstone is not a good book and I don't recommend it. I don't think it has enough action, and it definitely lacks excitement

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Boy's Point of View
Review: Bearstone is about a boy named Cloyd who goes to live with an elderly man named Walter. On one of his adventures he finds the turquoise stone that represent a bear. The bear stone reflected on how he acted throughout the book. For example he cut Walter's peach trees to the middle so they would die slowly.
The first couple of chapters were pretty boring, but keep reading and it will get a lot better. Read Bearstone to find out about Cloyd and Walter's life.

Summary: Bearstone
Review: Bearstone
By Will Hobbs
Published by Avon Camelot
Copyrighted in 1989

The main character name is Cloyd. The goal of the Cloyd was to have a home. The old man's love helped the character find his goal. The outcome is that the Cloyd start to live with the old man.
The setting is in Utah, on a mountain near the old man's ranch. It is true to life.
Cloyd is a person that likes to keep thing to himself. He can sometime get really mad that he decides to run away.
The old man was in a mine, on the trip to the mountain, looking for gold, in the mine called The Pride of the West. He was mining gold by using dynamites to blow up some of the cave and searching through the loose dirt and rock for ores. When the dynamite blew up, he would run out of the cave yelling, "Fire in the hole! Fire in the hole."
Read Bearstone and other book written by Will Hobbs, I highly recomend these books.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cool!
Review: I first read this book at the age of 10,and 5 years later I still remember it fondly. Since I'm part Indian myself,Cloyd's(weird name)story appealed to me. Hobbs helped me understand his feelings,his rough life in foster homes,and his temper flare-ups. Cloyd's identification with the powerful bear can inspire other alienated kids to cope with problems this way. I even have a turquoise bearstone like the one in the book(that was one reason I purchased the fetish). Soon,I'll buy the book as well,and the sequel. I highly reccomend this novel,and I reserve that phrase only for especially great books.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Bearstone
Review: This book really put the fact that being alone is not a good idea into perspective. The book did have somewhat of a dramatic plot. It was like a heartrate line, the suspense came and went throughout the book. The characters were beyond realistic. Cloyd had a problem with the red-haired man, just like people have problems with other people in the world. This book also had a real place as the setting which was very neat! The book showed that "If you put your mind to it, you can do anything". This statement is true because Cloyd wanted so badly to climb the Rio Grande and he ..............................WAIT why would I tell you?

You'll just have to read it to find out!
