Summary: bedwetters from the inside out
Review: Glendon swarthout gives readers an opportunity to view six adolescents whom society has already labeled misfits from the inside out. As the book progresses, you gradually learn the history of each member of the group from past incidents , namely unintentional mental abuse by parents. An excellent book for all adolescents whether you are "the popular kid" or don't quite fit in. Can be easily misinterpreted.

Summary: I Understood This Book!
Review: I chose this book from a list given to me by my Humanities teacher. You see, we have to read five books throughout the year and do a book review for each one. After starting and quiting 2 other books I finally got into this one. Now, while typing the review for this book I can truly understand the themes for this piece of literature. The first being how society treats our most innocent and defenseless creatures : animals and children. Second, being that somehow by freeing others we free ourselves. For a person who has spend all of her life surrounded by and sometimes participating in the hunting sport, I was shocked at how people can call slaughter hunting. For, I truly don't believe that the people with the guns in this book were hunting. After reading the other reviews on this page I cannot see how other readers didn't understand or feel some amount of sympathy for the "bedwetters". All in all, I enjoyed this book because it really shows the growth and neediness of different aged children and how they compare to the neediness of animals.

Summary: Bless the Beasts and Children review
Review: I chose to read Bless the Beasts and Children as a novel in my English II class. I chose this book not knowing what I was going to be reading. After I began to read the introduction I knew I would enjoy this story. The way Glendon Swarthout chose his words for each individual character made it seem like they were appropriate for the characters age. He didn't seem to put himself in the characters, it seemed realistic. I enjoyed the way Swarthout put flashbacks, a little more detail and thoughts in italics. I thought that was new. The book didn't seem boring to me at all. I know how some books the tempo of the book goes up and down, up and down, but this book seemed to keep its rhythm. The way the kids worked together in the worst of times and how Cotton took the lead when the "bedwetters" were uneasy, was a great thing to see throughout the entire book. There were many lessons that you could learn from the "bedwetters". I really enjoyed this book and I would definately read it again. This book is good for teenagers. I felt a connection to the characters becuase they were around my age and the things they did would seem like some of the things I would do if I was in that situation in that enviorment.

Summary: I absolutely hated it
Review: I had to read this book for my eigth grade English class. I hated it, and it was horrible. Glendon Swarthout uses way too much figurative language, and I still cannot understand why it is considered to be a "great American classic."

Review: I honestly love this book. The flshbacks weren't confusing for me at all, of corse I called it a bit stange but it's saopse to be. Like when they stole all the trophey heads and shot them between the eyes. as one reveiwer said it doesn't gloss over anything.

Summary: A real life expierence
Review: I read the book in English class and it was very pointless. I did not like the plot of the story or the setting. The say in the book, "You send us a criminal, will send you a cowboy." More like "You make us read this book, and will make you pay a penny for it."
