Rating: Summary: The Best tear-jerker ever!!!! Review: I've read many books so far in my life and none have been so close and so in touch with real life ever.

Many thanks go to the authors for writting this!!!

Rating: Summary: One of the most eye/mind opening novels I have ever read! Review: This book was so good for my soul, that I don't want to talk about it too much lest I ruin the whole experience of digesting it.This wonderful novel put me back in touch with innocence, wonder and the miracle of friendship. I highly recommend it to anyone feeling a little jaded with life or too old to dream.
Rating: Summary: Awsome Book. A real winner. Review: This is an awsome book about an enormouse eigth grade boy named Max Kane. Born in the shadow of his father's horrible actions, he never had any friends. But things change when Kevin, a genious of the same age moves in down the street. The boys meet when Kevin, who was born with a birth defect, gets his toy called an ornithopter, described by Kevin as an experimental aircfat propelled by flapping wings, gets stuck in a tree. Max, with his enormous size pulls the toy out of the tree. The boys become quick friends and go on adventures they call "quests". Whether it be hiking to the local hospital or fishing a womans purse out of the sewer, you'll never see one without the other. The fun all changes when the terrible father of Max returns and kidnaps Max. This is a great book and I would reccomend this book to anyone!
Rating: Summary: The Book Became A Movie Review: This movie tie-in edition of my novel 'Freak The Mighty' has been retitled for this edition only, to conform to the Miramax film starring Sharon Stone, Elden Henson, and Kieran Culkin. It includes color photos from the movie, but the text is exactly the same as in all previous editions of 'Freak The Mighty', which was originally published in 1993. If you want to check out the readers' comments, look up 'Freak The Mighty' here on amazon.com. Yes, I wish the book and movie had the same title, but that's really my only complaint. As a novelist I'm quite pleased with how the movie came out - it remains essentially faithful to the book. By the way, the audio version is read by Elden Henson, who stars as 'Max' in the movie. There's another 'author interview' available under the original title, too, which goes into how the book happened to be written. Check it out and let me know what you think via the 'reader's comments'.
