Review: Book Review of Ferris Beach by Jill McCorkle

Ferris Beach is a book that is filled with many details of the characteristics of a small-town. It gives an intimate portrait of each character and their personality. The novel takes place in the south in the 1970's during a time of change. The young girl in the book reveals several details about her family and friends whom she is very close to. The reader can easily become attached to the characters by using a vivid imagination, which allows them to relate personally from their own experiences. The author, Jill McCorkle, touched on every subject that could possibly affect any person who reads it. Kate, whom some would call the heroine of the novel, was at an age where everything in her life could have a lasting effect. She was very impressionable. Her immediate family and her distant relatives could be considered opposites, but Kate loved them all. She was cought in a tug-of-war between what her gut feelings compelled her to do, and doing what she knew would be the right thing. That is something very hard to deal with. There are also friends and neighbor's who contribute the uneasy atmosphere of the community. There are a few twists and turns in the story which capture the reader even more intensely. This story can make the reader sad, or be cheery at the same time. Jill McCorkle has a way with words which allows the reader to feel those emotions. Many have said that she is the finest writer, not just in the south, but anywhere. She is real and authentic with her writing. She expresses real situations, real emotions, and real human nature. The characterizations in Ferris Beach are very well developed and may sometimes resemble someone we know. All of these aspects summarize why this is a great book to read and recommend to others.

Review: Ferris Beach is a great realistic book of a young girl who learns many things through tragic events. She dreams that Ferris Beach is the perfect place to live but learns that's not exactly true. This is a good book for anybody that too have realized life isn't perfect but there are good parts. Also that you can't judge a book by it's cover but you have to look on the inside.

Summary: The Best Book I've Ever Read
Review: I thought this book was the best! I loved all of the mystery that Kate and Misty dwelled upon through out the book. Merle sounded like such a sweet boy. Misty's older brother and Kate sounded so cute together. When tragedy strikes in Misty's family everyone in the whole plot is effected. Angela sounded nice sometimes, but then turned around and became a real annoying jerk. Angela had a lot of problems. Misty was my favorite character because she reminds me of someone who is the ultimate human being in my estimation. She was spunky and loud. Cheerful, and sad. She knew how to deal with her life. THIS WAS AN AWESOME BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: A book worth reading
Review: Reviewer- Ashley from Franklin, TN nited States This book focuses on the life of a girl in Southern North Carolina. Her mother, a well-cultured woman from Boston, tries to make the girl Kate have the kind of lifestyle that she had. Her father, a layed-back easy-going man, lets Kate choose whichever lifestyle she wishes to have. This book is full of pain and sadness; heartache and happiness. I recommend this book to teenagers, as a teenager, I feel I can relate to it and hope that others who read this book will also like it and relate to it.
