Summary: Out Of The Dust (what a joke!)
Review: I dind't really like the book called Out Of The Dust it wasn't fast paced-paced or even exciting. The whole book was written like a poem. But some parts were emotional, and to others it might of even moved them,but I would give this book a 2. I recommend this book for people who are interested or even obsessed with dirt or dust. It all takes place in the Oklohoma Pan Handle.

Summary: Out of the Dust
Review: I think this book is for little kids like 8-10 because it is very easy to ready but it is also very very boring and sad at the same time.But i think there was no point for the writer to write this i think she wasted her time even though it was about history i think i shouldve read a different book.The weird part about this book is that is it's a poetry book.I think i could've written a better book.It was'nt very adenturess at all because its like...she got on the train her food got stolen and that dudes picture was there i mean come on it was retarded.Then she just goes back home i mean...what was the whole point of that?!?!?!?!I think she should'nt have gott'in that award at all.It was also very slow it kept freakin sayin the dust,the dust,someone dies,more dust,someone dies,more dust i mean that was pretty dull.If she made any money on this book i dont think she deserves it.I recommend this book for perople who just wanna read and like boring books and poetry like books and books that repaeat things over like...dust,someone dies,more dust,cant grow crops,dust,someone dies,cant grow crops,and so on and so on.It's also not very exciting at all!Thats why i give this very boring book a ONE STAR...hahahahahahahahahahahaha i cant believe she even wrote this book!

Summary: Lynz's book review
Review: Out of the dust was a pretty boring book. It is about a girl named Billy Joe who overcomes a lot of obstacles like living in the Dust Bowl in the late 1920's. After a Freakish accident, left Billie Joe motherless, her baby brother dead, and not being able to play her beloved piano things went down hill.
I would only recomend this book to a person who likes boring books that have no point. This book went on and on. It never went strait to the point. I don't like slow books and this book was very slow. It was quite sad and not very exciting.

Summary: My review about Out Of The Dust
Review: Hi! ... I read the book Out Of The Dust. This review is about how I rate the book from 1 to 5. I rate this book one because it is a really boring book and it is all poems. The poems are all quite boring. The main person in the book is called Billie Jo. She lives in the dust bowl during the Great Depression and wants to get out of the dust bowl. Her mom dies and she lives with her dad. They both miss her very much. Billie Jo finally figures out that she wants to still to live in the dust bowl. What im trying to say is the book is REALLY BORING.

Summary: Out of the Dust
Review: I disliked Out of the Dust partily because it was in freeverse and because it would never stop. The book topic was also horiable because nothing interesting happened. People died uninterestind deaths. The only reason I read it because I was forced to. I think Out of the Dust was very plain. It took place in Oklahoma during the great depression.

Summary: Out of the Dust
Review: I did not like this book because it was in poems and it dragged on and on. It was to easy like 8-10. It was a sad book because Billys mom died. It was about the dust bowl and it was borning again. Once in the story her mom died and her brother dead and not being able to play the piano. She got on a train and then her food got stolen then she got off. It was a SLOW book.

Summary: Carly's book review
Review: I read Out of the Dust. Personally I didn't like it. I thought it was boring and was uneventful. I rated the book with two stars. I would not recommend this book to anyone. It was just about the girl and her life in a dust storm. It was written in poems and I thought it was very very boring. It was a girl who's mother died after the girl burned her accidentally. She also burns her hands and isn't able to play piano anymore. She decides to run away but then comes back. The book seemed to drag on and on and on. It was slow paced and it made me want to fall asleep. Everyone I talked to hated the book such as my friends and classmates. If anybody asked me a book they should not read I would say Out of the Dust. It was awful to have to read this book. I will never read this book again. I don't recommend it.

Summary: This Book It One of the worst books you'll ever read
Review: This book is sooooo boring. It is no thumbs up. We were forced to read it by my teacher. I was goin to give it no stars but my teacher said no. Someone dies then nothing happens. It keeps going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going on and on and on! The plot [stinks]. If you like doing nothing for 2 hours (or how ever long this would take you) then youd like this book. This book had 4 stars but it deserved none. If your dull and stupid youll like the book.
