Summary: Kit's Wilderness: The Oddysee Through My Eyes
Review: Kit's Wilderness is a intriguing book that includes more than 1 plot. It tells the story of 13 year old Kit who moves back to his birthplace, Stoney Gate. This was the place where his GranDad grew up and worked in the coal mines as a young man. He meets the likes of John Askew and his friends. Askew tells Kit that they are both closer to each other than they think. Askew invites kit to his cave he dug out. There Kit learns to play the game called Death. I think that it is a good book because Almonde uses more than 1 plot so it makes the book much more interesting.

Summary: My Review on Kit's Wilderness
Review: In my opinion I thought Kit's Wilderness was a bit strange and quite hard to understand. It the beginning when it first introduces the game called "Death" and when it first introduces John Askew it was quite mysterious and made you want to read on. .... I thought that was spooky and that also made me want to read on. Towards the end of the book the story began to drag on a bit and in my opinion became a bit boring. Although, I think Almond finished the story well with the ....

Summary: Complicated or Compelling???
Review: We thought that kit's wilderness was very compelling and makes you want to read on. It is a strange book and some times you don't entirly understand what is going on. We liked how the main plot links in with the sub plot. At times we found it confusing for instance Laks story but over all it was a good book.
Askew is a mysterious character, while kit is quite gentle and preditable one. The setting alone is quite myterous, and wild.

Summary: Jezzas review of Kit
Review: Kit's wilderness is quite a good book, in the beggining the author, David Almond made me want to keep reading. The book was mysterious and very strange. I have never in my life read any thing like Kit's Wilderness. Kit and his friends play this game called death, i don't know how David Almond could think of such a wierd and disturbing game. Towards the end Kit and his friend, John Askew stay in this coal mine for a night and kit dreams about this boy called lax who is exactly like john who is in the mine and his mum is asking kit to bring her baby back safely. She was crying and weeping alot, she pleeded with kit to bring lax back to her safely. I recommend this book to all readers.

Summary: The review of kits wilderness
Review: I thought that this book was written well but isn't the type of books i like to read. This book is about a young boy called Kit. He moves to Stoneygate which is where the book is set. Since he moves there, he starts to learn about his ancestors and the horrifying pasts they led. He helped realise this with a dark secretive boy named John Askew.
This book is very ghostly and is a spine thrilling book. It makes you carry on guessing as it is a bit of a cliffhanger. In it there is a game called death in which kit becomes the living dead. I think this book is good because it keeps you reading and guessing. This book is for 12-16 yrs of age. It is also a book for children who are interested in the dead and who are interested in the mines and their breathtaking pasts.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Kits Wilderness Review
Review: We thought that the book was quite good apart from a few bits which were a bit boring and advanced language.We thought Kits Wilderness was a spine tingling experience.We thought the story gave a very powerful view.We think David Almond succeed beautifully in writing a this action packed book.Our favourite parts were the game called death and were he changed it from his story to Lak's tale.

Summary: Kit's Wilderness Funky Review
Review: Kit's wilderness is riddled with darkness, fear and a complex knot of stories dating back to the old days when children were sent below the surface into the mines. It is set in Stoneygate, a village where it's history often comes back to haunt the residents of this small town.
Kit is a young thirteen year-old who knows next to nothing about stoneygates history when he moves to the village after his Grandma died to live with his Grandpa. But Kit is soon dragged into an extraudinary game called death led by a mysterious boy called Askew.
This book is ghostly and is guaranteed to make you curious about Kit's experience in the darkness of an abandoned drift mine. It's plot is witty and it's characters are strong, which makes this book a must-read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Review of Kit's Wilderness
Review: i thought this story was really good.i thought it was quite scary and it kept you interested and had lots of cliffhangers. i would recommend it to people who haven't read it but not too young an age. the subplots were good and they kept the whole story together.
