Summary: Bud, Not Buddy.
Review: Although Bud is just a 10 year old, he has a big story to tell. That story includes vampires, hornets, mean old Herman E. Calloway and the most beautiful woman on earth, Miss Thomas. Escaping from the Amoses house can be a start to a thrilling and exiting adventure. Bud, Not Buddy is a story that contains comedy, drama , romance , action, adventure... you name it!
What I liked the most about the book , was that the auther, a mature grownup, was able to transform himself into a 10 year old. I loved this book. Definitely, one of the best books I've read. If you enjoy comedy, you're going to love this one!

Summary: Why you won't like this book.
Review: In my opinion the book use to much adjectives to go no where. Don't have the right amount of adjectives in the right spot.
The type of book is a very nonsense mystery. What makes the mystery not fun is you don't want to solve the mystery. The book doesn't gain your attention. It's doesn't give motion to imaginate.
This is a negative opinion of the book, Bud not Buddy.
Lots of people we know,that read the book,liked it. But the book didn't gain our attention.

Summary: Bud, Not Buddy
Review: Bud is a little boy who lost his mom, and decides to look for his father. He goes through lots of adventures. Will he find his mom???Will he find his dad???
We liked the book and the part that we liked the most was when he went to Hooverville. Some parts of the book, are very boring, but sometimes it's very cool.

Summary: Bud Not Buddy
Review: In this book, Curtis was able to capture the good side of having courage to go ahead with one's plans and ideas. Curtis also used lots of adjectives to describe the scenes of the story. By that, we feel as though we are living the story while we read it. The book tells the story of an orphan boy, who decides to go looking for his father, after seing a picture of Herman E. Calloway that his mother left him. While looking for his father, he goes through lots of messy things and adventures. One part I liked, was when he had his first kiss with Deza Malone and when he finally met Herman. Some parts I thought were boring, such as the parts in which he kept on remembering what happenned to him in the past. I only think, that it has some hard words. I think kids from 10 years old on, will be able to read it, and also people that like living and feeling what the characters feel. I think it also make's people curious about what will happen. Bud Not Buddy is a very good book!

Summary: Good if you like books
Review: A creative book, but I thought only the beginning was any good, the rest just got boring. There were some good parts, like when Bud gets revenge on a person who lies to him. A little bit of adventure, and some good parts. If you like books (...), you'll like it. Since i dont like books about non-fiction, i didnt like this one.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boring book
Review: I didn't like this book because it is boring but also I don't like books that tell about real life. I like stories about things that can never happen, like monsters or magic, space or anything like that. I think that people that like books that describs about someones life adventure will like this book.

Rating: 1 stars
