Summary: The Snake-Stone
Review: ...P> One thing I liked about this how this might be something someone might do in real life, wonder if their real mother wanted them. And in life someone might try to find this out. In this book he wonders this same question and tries to find her. The methods he uses to find the place his mother was were very realistic. I like how she portrait him as a regular boy in a not so regular situation. He was a regular boy who did unique things but still had regular, not farfetched way of life. He was a regular boy who did regular things, but had something about him that made the story. I didn't like how at some points the story didn't seem to go anywhere. Like during the story before the started his journey a few parts of the story lost my interest in the story. This didn't make me want to hurry back and read the book, but this happens very little and doesn't last long.

This is a good young teenage book for boys or girls. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes general reading. This is a good mellow but interesting book that grabs your attention. I enjoyed this book and I think you might too.

Summary: The Snake-Stone
Review: The Snake Stone, written by Berlie Doherty, is a unique and fascinating tale of discovery, as one boy goes on the life-altering journey to discover who he really is. Set in England, this overwhelming piece of fiction holds a realistic amount of truth, and allows the reader to believe both the characters and the story. Wonderfully written by Berlie Doherty, author of 'Dear Nobody', it is a novel I strongly recommend, being both entertaining and genuine.

James lives with his adoptive parents, and seems to live a rather normal life. He is both determined and ambitious, training regularly for the Junior National Diving Championship. His life seems to revolve around diving alone . . . Until he discovers the snake-stone.

Suddenly, his deceivingly simple existence is no more. He is thrown in to an adventure that will change his life forever, as he begins the search for his natural-mother. That quiet determination that existed within him previously rises to the surface, driving him through the most frightening of situations, and giving him the strength to overcome his fears.

Review: This story is about a boy and his quest to find his mother. It takes place in England during the early to mid 1990's. James is a competitive diver and is very good. He starts his quest when he looks through a box in his parent's closet. Which inside he found clues about his mother and where she is. He tricks his parents to sending him there and his journey begins.

One thing I liked about this how this might be something someone might do in real life, wonder if their real mother wanted them. And in life someone might try to find this out. In this book he wonders this same question and tries to find her. The methods he uses to find the place his mother was were very realistic. I like how she portrait him as a regular boy in a not so regular situation. He was a regular boy who did unique things but still had regular, not farfetched way of life. He was a regular boy who did regular things, but had something about him that made the story. I didn't like how at some points the story didn't seem to go anywhere.
