A Separate Peace

Summary: Alrght book
Review: This book didn't interest me very well. The book put me to sleep too many times to count. Although most books do. Irony in this book was semi-interesting. The Characters were hardly developed, in my opinion. The jock and the brains as friends may funny, but it would never happen. The Death of Finny was far expected from the beginning of the book. If he doesn't have his sports to keep him busy he doesn't have anything to do that he is very good at. Sports were his prodigal purpose in life. The grim mood of the book at the beginning was a pure giveaway of the book's entire mood and foreshadowed most of the book.

Summary: a separate peace
Review: I had to read this book in my 11th grade English class. I thought that the book was a little on the boring side. Other then that it was an ok. You had the all around sports guy, the little sacred guy and the bully. The book goes back to the Devon school, which is a private school. Gene tells about all the things that happen and there is some great symbolism. the symbolism they use is in my thoughts the best part of the whole book.

Summary: A Review of A Separate Peace By LMAO!
Review: After Reading A Separate Peace by John Knowles, I felt that the book was a very good read. However, I thought that Gene and Finny had the weridest realtionship ever. It seemed that Gene liked Finny, but deep down inside his soul he wanted to hurt him real bad. Leper was one of the oddest individuals in the story, to his letter to Gene, to him hallucinating. The book did give comic relief when they had the snowball fight, and wrestled in the snow with the barrels of cider. Overall the book was pretty interesting, it was average, but it was interesting. Read the book, if you want.

Summary: um... OK then
Review: OK, I know this book was supposed to be about a boy and his inner struggle with himself about his friend Finny but I found it so boring. Reading this book was like watching a soap opera. There were separate stories going on in one story. Everything was jumbled together into one really boring book. I've read many books and only one other that I've read bored me as much as this one did, that book being The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemmingway. That book has about as much plot and action as A Separate Peace. A man goes back to his favorite school, man has a flash back about a particularly bad summer, man leaves school. But all in all I guess the book does get a rating of "2" due to all the imagery and the way the book was written. And I guess, because the book does deserve some credit, that it was an OK book to read if you have an extra 2 hours on your hands.

Summary: A Seperate Peace
Review: I absolutely enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone. A Separate Peace is a book that takes you back to a time when you perhaps were jealous of a certain friend or even reminds you of that friend you are still envious of. This book takes place in Devon, where Gene is jealous of his best friend Phineas. Phineas seems to be the one kid in your school that is popular and most athletic. Phinny could also be described as always looking for something fun to do. Gene however is a kid that is into his studying. The story is told through Gene's eyes and takes place during World War II. This book shows the realities all of us can face daily.

Summary: What's a title?
Review: I thought this book was interesting. I liked the way that it used flashbacks in order to tell the story. I am also glad that it placed the story while a real war was going on since there was a private war going on between two of the characters. It is a good book for anyone who has ever been envious of a friend.

Summary: Not what you think
Review: A Separate Peace should not be classified as a book that would teach you anything about war. While it does take place during the war, it shows no factual information about the book. The story is basically a struggle between inner conflict and also conflict in friendship. It deals with guilt, as Gene feels awful about the fact he broke Finny's leg. It has a lot of irony in that Finny dies in the end from bone marrow in his blood. Overall it is not a bad book, but in my opinion it taught me nothing about war. It taught me more about friendship and life at private school.

Summary: A Seperate Peace
Review: I had to read this book for my junior year's English class. I thought it was a very interesting story and unique in the way of the in dept friendship of Gene and Finny. It takes place at an all boys' school in which they stay all year. However the 90 % of the book is a flashback remembering back to the time when him and Finny attended the school. The main plot of the story is that Finny is athletic and Gene is smart. However, Gene gets jealous and purposely injures Finny when they are performing dangerous stunts. But know body but himself (Gene) is aware of that fact, and throughout the story it shows his struggle with himself and his friendship. Overall I think this book is a great read and recommend it to anyone looking for a medium length book. I gave this book four stars because I feel their are some things that I would have liked to have been settled however it is wonderful book.

Summary: Hmmmmmm........
Review: Personally, i enjoyed the book. I wouldn't but it but i would get it at a public library. I think it shows how some people are mistaken as someone there not. Gene thinks finny is out to get him , but actually, he's not. The book gives a lot of examples of life lessons. It shows that growing up isn't as easy as most people thought and looking back you may regret some of the decisions you made when you were young. The conflict between Finny and Gene will keep you intrested but guestioning about your relationships with others.

Summary: This is a good book
Review: I had to read this book for my 11th grade English class. When I was assigned the book I was not too excited. But then when I finally started to read the book I got really into it. This book is one of the best books that I have read in a while. I thought that this book was very easy and fun to read. The way that the story moves from scene to scene in the beginning is a good way to start out a good story. The main characters, Gene and Finny, are roommates with each other. Finny organizes a club during their summer session. And the rest of the book revolves around what happened that summer. If you want to read a good book, I suggest that you read this book "A separate peace", by John Knowles.
