Rating: Summary: The Watsons Go to Birmingham Review: Have your parents ever made a threat and actually done it. Well, in this book, it really happens. One of the saddest, funniest and best books I have ever read!
Rating: Summary: O.K book bad title Review: The beginning of the book was all about the funny antics of the family and the last 3 chapters were really confusing, but I give it an extra star becuase it was funny and it was against predjudice.
Rating: Summary: I couldn't stop laughing! Review: This was a great book about racial injustice and family. Although it was set in the '60's,the story felt just as real as if it were occuring right now. It was very funny,especially when Byron got in trouble for staging WWII battles in the bathroom and got his lips stuck to the car mirror. When I read the book in reading period,I often began having laugh attacks and had to cover them with fake coughing spells. I understood Kenny's depression after the bombing. However,the Wool Pooh scenes were vague. Who was he really? What about Kenny's vision? Overall,though,this was a wonderful,entertaining book. It conveyed the message of racial tolerance without preachiness and showed how alike we all are inside.
Rating: Summary: A FUNNY AND SAD BOOK. Review: I just finished reading your book.I believe the book was great. I think the funniest part of the book was when the the Arkansas boy(Rufus) caught the bus. Then Larry Dunn started tell jokes on him. The bus driver said something about his mother. The bad part was the run on sentences.The last chapter was very slow, but my personal rating was a whopping 10 out of ten.
Rating: Summary: nINE OUT OF tEN Review: My class rated the book and we gave it a 9 out of ten. It was really good, I liked it alot. There were alot of funny parts;it had a least one or more funny things in each chapter. You have made a good book. How bout making it even better by making a part 2 of the Watsons.There were some things that were kind of boring but don't get me wrong, the book was good but in my point of view, I say you made some mistakes. I think you got a little carried away with the run on sentences. Other than that the book was very good. BY: THE J. MAN
Rating: Summary: GREAT BOOK Review: I just got through reading your book "The Watsons go to Birminghan 1963" and I think it was great. The part I like best was when Byron told Kenny he ain't afraid of no damn snake. My class rated your book at a whopping nine out of ten. You did have some comas missing and run on sentence.
Rating: Summary: I liked the watson go to birmingham Review: Our class favorite of the book is when Kenny were in the Wool Pool. Another part we like was when the two new boys got on the school bus. We also like when Byron's tongue got stuck on the window and when Byron's dad cuts off his hair. The bad things about the book is the last chapter, it was not good for a ending of a story. The part about the wirl pool (wool pool) was confusing.
Rating: Summary: NOT FOR INTELLECTS Review: I wish there was a 0 star rating. Oh well. This was thesupidest, most boring book I have ever read. THIS BOOK IS DEFINITLYNOT FOR INTELLECTS!!!!!!!!!! I had to read it for a report. Now I have to make a summary on it and I can't do it because this anti-intelligent book was about nothing!
