Crabbe

Summary: Umm...
Review: Why is it that almost everyone had to read this book for school? Huh? I had to read it too and it was INCREDIBLY BORING. I did not enjoy this book AT ALL. It had a bad plot and alotta swearing(who doesn't swear tho...) But it was somewhat disturbing hearing my teacher swear when reading this book to us. ANYWAY in the beginning I actually had hope but... Something went wrong. Also we had tons of questions for each chapter(VERY annoying). So If you have a choice, I don't recommend you read this book. If you wanna know what it's about, It's about an 18 yr old guy named Crabbe, Franklin Crabbe. He's rich and has good grades but somethings missing. So he secretly and cleverly runs away from home. He almost kills himself falling down a waterfall and is saved by a girl named Mary. He stays with her and she teaches him some valuable things about survival and life... >^,,^<

Summary: this book was awsom!
Review: at first, i didnt wanna read this book at all. i was forced to by school. but as i got further and further i realized this book was ...amazing. i dont know wen ive read a better book. i think one of the reasons i enjoyed the book so much was that it reaally encourages u too become an individual person and not to live for anybody else, and i know realize that. i may still only be a lost and confused teenager, but thanks to this book i now know to only live for myself, and not to try to reach other peoples expectations but only my own. if u have any spare time at all read this book!!! its amazing, posibly even beyond amazing. i would have gave it more stars if it were posible. william bell did an outstanding job on this book. its ending was awsom, and kept me on my toes the whole time. the begining may not be very interesting, but as u get deeper and deeper into the book, it becomes better and better. the book was fenominal! READ IT!

Summary: Silent Sam's recipe for a good book!
Review: Franlin Crabbe was rich, smart, and on the right track, but he still wasn't happy. His parents runned his life for him, they wanted him to go here and do this and he couldn't take it. He also found out his school is taking advantage of his intelligence. He use to skip gym class and go to a pub to have something to drink, if it wasn't that he would be drinking Silent Sam Vodka. He didn't like the track he was going on so he runs away to Ithica Camp, where he will possibly commit suicide if thats the case. He then meets a woman named Mary that saves him from drowning. This book has everything you want. It's great and good for teenagers to read. Franklin went through alot, from being caught drinking alcohol,attacked by a bear and puking all over himself, and losing his best friend he had it all! This is a great novel, and one that should get more recognition.

Summary: Crabbe by William Bell
Review: This is an excellent novel. It can help weak readers understand some more ways to understand novels and stroy lines. I highly advise it to stay in schools. It will help the students that are too lazy to go out to the country and explore how to survive and what possibilities can happen in nature. I also like how that the author made the chapters into journal entries.

Summary: Alright
Review: This novel was fairly decent:it had an alright plot, it was written somewhat well, and was interesting in most parts. I did not like this novel, however, because i had to read it as a school assignment. I think that because of that, it took all of the pleasure out of the novel, and i didn't have time to appreciate certain things about the novel.
I also did not like the ending of the novel. I felt that it didnt explain well enough what happened to Crabbe.
Overall, this book would definitally be more enjoyable if you were not pressed for time to read it, and then have to do a load of work on it.
