Summary: The Watson's go to Birmingham
Review: I thought that this book was awesome! It was a great example of what racism was like during the segregation in the US. The main story is about a little boy named Kenny and how he goes to Burmingham with his family. Mainly he learns that life isn't a perfect picture (that you usually here about in fairy tales, with happy endings) with two kids and one car. But instead that life is like a bumpy road full of obstacles. I would recommend this book to kids who like true stories, that are exagerated a little. This book is probably for teenagers and up.

Summary: Racism Tagedy
Review: The Watsons go to Birmingham was an educational book to read in middle school. By reading this story of a family's journey south, a picture was put in your mind of the differences between racism in the south and the north. To learn about a tragedy in United States, read this book for some facts of the past.

Summary: The Watsons go to Birmingham-1963
Review: The Watsons go to Birmingham is a very good book. It taught about the past of Racism. Many parts of the book were funny. It was also very educatioinal. This book helps explain about the death of 4 young girls in a church bombing in the 1960's. I would recommend this book for schools and other people who just want to read a good book.

Summary: The Watsons Go to Birmingham
Review: I thought this book was really great. I was informed on how bad the segregation was in the Deep South way down in Alabama. It was sad in parts, but the humor always enlightened my spirits in hope of a good ending. Indeed it was good, but of course I won't give it away. You'll just have to read it for yourself!

Review: The Watsons go to Birmingham-1963 by Christopher Paul Curtis (Bud, Not Buddy) is a comedy/drama. If you like laughing while reading than you will enjoy this book. You will enjoy following them on their road trip to Birmingham. You will learn the tough times of colored people in the south during the segregation. If you have read Bud, Not Buddy you will enjoy this book.

Summary: BORING!
Review: This book was quite disappointing. They're 100 pages basically just introducing the perfect stereo type family and in two pages with a brief description the church is bombed. Then in two more days it's back to normal. The author used the same metaphors over and over again and it got very tiresome and annoying. The book was very predictable. A long story for a short plot. I don't reccomend you reading it for it's a waste of time and it certainly does not help you better understand history seeing they only spent two pages on it in the 200 page book.

Summary: A hilarious book
Review: Have you ever been picked on by classmates or a relative?
Well in this book a boy name Kenney gets picked on by people,because he is one of the smartest kids in his school.This is a hilarious story about an African-American family living in 1963.
In THE WATSONS GO TO BIRMINGHAM--1963 there are some weaknesses and strengths.One of the weaknesses is the words he uses like "Bama Gal." But they have so many strengths that you forget about the weaknesses. One of the strengths is the way it makes you feel like your with them in the story . Another one is how it always makes you laugh or smile. If you like hilarious book or are interested in African-American history you will really enjoy this book.
