Summary: A Review
Review: " Run, run, run, into the H2O."
" Huh?"
" Into the water dummy."
" I'm stuck, I'm also sinking."
" Their running. Here comes the cops."
" Good because I'm up to my knees."
" Thank you, sir."
The book, Freak the Mighty, is a good book of friendship and good family. I also think that Rodman Philbrick did a good job describing the characters.
Freak, Kevin, was made fun of a lot. At school he was stared at a lot. He was not mad or sad that the kids were staring at him because he was used to it. They were making fun of him because of his disability.
Max's grandparents are very nice. They took him in after his mom died. His grim and gram didn't like his dad and refer to him as "him"(you will find out why when you read this book).
Max's grandparents are also embarrassed because of his height and because he looks just like his father. That is way he has to live in the down under(the basement). His grim made the home down in the basement.
The part of the book that was unbelievable was what happened at the end. Our teacher was almost crying and he has read the book many times. If you like sad and funny books you should read this book.
I think the reason they named this book Freak the Mighty is because if you saw Kevin you would think he was a freak to. If you saw Max you would think he was mighty too. At school you can not separate them and Kevin makes up Freak the Mighty.
Max is a very good friend to Kevin. Max even carried Kevin every where they went and they went a lot of places. Max would get tired but he never gave up. After have a great friend like Kevin Max should have not had to go though with that, but Kevin know it would happen someday. Just because of Kevin's disabled he was stared at a lot, but most of the time he was smarter than the rest. Max calls his grandparents grim and gram, are very nice for taking in Max. Max's grandparents don't like his dad. Max and Kevin are very good friends and Max should have not had to go though that.

Summary: what a super book!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is a book that deserves 5 stars totally with its great ending, great beginning and all around great book to read and enjoy for all ages. This book is about a kid named Max that is unbelievable humongous and towers over everyone in the neighborhood that he lives in. One day he sees a disabled kid that he calls Freak. So as Freak and Max become closer together in their friendship they encounter some bullies, which they eventually stop, bothering them in many humorous ways. They run into a lake at a carnival, which is all muddy and goopy, and Freak and Max get stuck in it and the same happens with Blade and his gang. This book has a really surprise ending that none of you would probably know about. This is why I'm encouraging you to read this book and you will be surprised on what a good... no great story this book is.

Summary: Appealing to Young and Adult Readers Alike
Review: Rodman Philbrick's ability to write interesting literature that appeals to young readers (especially teens) comes in handy with "Freak the Mighty." This rather poignant and affecting novel follows the unlikely "Odd Couple"-like friendship between Max--who lives with his grandparents, and is an enourmous eighth grader on the slow side, yet has plenty of common sense, surrounded by his father's reputation as a convicted killer--and Kevin, dubbed "Freak"--a 13 year old genius plagued with a birth defect that keeps him the size of a six year old.
Aside from being physically contradictory, Kevin's book smarts and well-read brilliancy seem the exact opposite of Max's poor grammar and lack of motivation. But almost phenomically, in a karma-like manner, the two become instant companions.
Their "quests" in the "yonder" of the nighborhoods reveal some rather interesting characters. Speaking of which, Philbrick explores the qualities our narrator Max, and his buddy Kevin, without missing a detail.
Being thirteen when I read this book, my thoughts allthroughout reading "Freak the Mighty" were, "How can some old guy know how WE talk, how WE think?" I was shocked at myself for crying when I had finished the final chapter.
Together, Max and Kevin become "Freak the Mighty" with their un-cliched friendship and dependance upon one another.
Philbrick's novel is wonderfully humanistic; there's just something so reassuring in the human race about the thought of the giant Max walking with the enthusiastic three-and-a-half foot Kevin hoisted onto his shoulders.
Young readers will fall in love with "Freak the Mighty" for its realistic portrayal of a teenager, while adults will undoubtedly savor its humane touch.

Summary: Freak the Mighty
Review: The characters in this book all play a important role. There once was this two 12 year old boys who became bestfriends. Their names were Kevin(known as Freak)and Maxwell(known as Max).They did just about anything together. Living in castles, to slaying dragons. They had many adventures together in their minds. Fair Gwen, Grim,and Gram were all the gardians of them. You see, long time ago something happened between Max's mother and father to make them not be apart of his life at that moment of his life. Further along in this book it will unleash all the questions you would have while you are reading this book. I would recommend this book to 6,7,and 8 graders to read and enjoy. So go and find out the lives of Kevin, and Max.

Review: I love the book, Freak the Mighty, it has a variety of feelings that it gives me, happy, sad, scary, humorous,emotional and a lot more! The author, Rodman Philbrick, uses such detail to desribe the charecters. It seems like I'm right there, in the story, with Freak and Max. I think that if you have a chance to read this unique book, then you should.

Summary: Absolutely Brilliant
Review: I love stories about harrassed kids overcoming obstacles, but this one is beyond amazing. It goes into exactly what teenagers think and act, and the friendship between two outcasts is beyond touching. THere's nothing wrong wtih this book. It's perfect. Anyone who ive it anything less than 5 stars deserves to have their tongue nailed to a brick! They would hardly know how it feels to be harrassed like that.

Review: I really enjoyed Freak the Mighty. It made me really want to read more and more. I didn't really expect the ending. My favorite part is when Tony D. was chasing after Freak and Max.So overall I think this book was really good.

Review: Our class read this book. I'm kind of writing for the class. Lots of people thought the beginning was boring, but as you went on it got better and better. I like the book. The end is a little sad, but our class liked it so much that now we're read Max The Mighty. Max and Freak became best friends. They had a lot of adventures together. And find out all of the adventures by reading this good book. Even though the beginning was boring, I still rate it a five because all of the other good stuff makes it a five.
