Review: The book "Bud, Not Buddy" is about an orphan boy named Buddy Caldwell. Buddy never liked his name, so he always wanted to be called Bud, Bud Caldwell. Bud lived in an orphanage since he was six, because at that age his mother passed away. The main story is about Bud Caldwell trying to find the place that was on a particular flyer. This flyer was givin to him from his mother before she passed away. He knew that it ment a lot to her, so he had to try and find out what it was that was so important about it.I have enjoyed reading this book a lot. I loved it so much because I liked reading about what goes on in the life of Buddy Caldwell. Just the way he describes everything is hilarious. He always compares what he's talking about to something that is weird and funny. Also, I loved all the stories he told about him from the past, like the story about the bug going into his friends ear. Reading this book has kept me motivated to read on because it is hilarious.

Summary: this review is written from the charecters piont of view
Review: Shucks you guys picked the right book! My name is Bud (not Buddy). This is my story. I started out living with my mom but when I was six she kicked the bucket. I was sent to the local orphanage called "the Home". It was getting crowded and I really didn't like it there. I was sent to many different foster homes but I was always treated cruelly. So finally, I had had enough of foster care. And I can guarentee you that if you pick up this book then...woop, zoop, sloop...you'll be finished 'cause it's so good!

Summary: Bud Not Buddy
Review: Can you imagine growing up without your mother and not knowing who your real father was? Bud Not Buddy is a book a about a young boy who has no parents and is still in search of his father. Bud adventures across the state meeting new and peculiar people while in search for the man who he believes to be his father. Bud Not Buddy keeps you entertained with all the drama that this young child is going through.
This book is very descriptive and gives great detail about the places and people Bud visits. Bud Not Buddy presents itself with real life examples and enough description so that you're able to picture what Bud is seeing. As evidence, "The cooler was drenched with bags of blood and blood stained ice,". A book like this puts you right in Bud's shoes.
Bud Not Buddy targets audiences of all ages, from teens to young adults. The entire book has easy and understandable words keeping you from stumbling. Bud goes through tough times, so this storyline is appropiate for mature teens and young adults. The amount of emotion in this book might be too much for younger kids. For example, "My mom died when I was little" this might be something to overwhelming for younger children to imagine. Teens and young adults will understand and enjoy this book.
Emotion is shown throughout this book. In the beginning of the book you're sad because you find out what Bud is living through and in the end the whole mood of the story changes to a much happier mood. Seeing Bud fight and strive towards his goal is what makes Bud Not Buddy a motivational book.
Bud's determination to find his beloved lost father moves you as you read about his effort and perserverance.

Summary: The Most Boring Book Ever
Review: This book is about an orphan boy who lives in a foster home because he is an orphan. He is searching for his unknown father beacuse his foster family doesnt take good care of him.
In my opinion, Bud, Not Buddy is a boring book. I read it only beacuse my 7th grade teacher made me read it for a Book Review.
So, if you want to read it, you go ahead. It gets more better near the end.

Summary: Bud, Not Buddy
Review: I really enjoyed reading Christopher Paul Curtis's book Bud, Not Buddy. This book won a Newbery Award. I thought it was really good because it was adventurous. Bud, age 10, was living in a foster home in Flint, Michigan. His mom died and he does not know where his dad is. Bud's mom always would look at a blue paper. He knew that the man on the paper had to be his father. The people at the foster home sent him to the Amoses' house. He ran away from there. Bud wants to find his father. He met a guy named Lefty Lewis who could take him to his father. Bud was curious to find out if Herman E. Calloway is his father. You have to read this book to see what happens to Bud. So, if you are looking for a very entertaining book, you should read Christopher Paul Curtis's book, Bud, Not Buddy. I really hope you enjoy this book!
