Freak the Mighty

Summary: We loved it
Review: I read this book with a class of 8th graders. By the end they were actually trying to steal the class copies to read ahead. Those that knew the ending refused to tell anyone else and the suspense almost killed them. They really loved it as did I. By the end (we used the book on tape as well as the text) many of us were in tears. I recommend it for any and everyone.

Summary: Heartwarming Story
Review: I use this book as a sixth grade novel study. It's a heartwarming story about friendship and accepting differences. It has a wonderful message for young and old. My students LOVE this novel and can't wait to read another part every day! They complain when we stop reading for the day!

Summary: Freak The Mighty Was An Awsome Book
Review: Do opposites really attract? In Freak The Mighty, this is the case. This book is about two boys who are very much opposites but become best friends. Freak has a genius brain and is very intelligent, though he is handicapped. He befriends a boy named Max, who, is unusually tall and large. Together, they go on adventures, which will be found out when you read this amazing book by Rodman Philbrick, who by the way, is a great author. He describes the adventures, stories, characters, and the way they feel in the book so well, that the reader thinks they are real. I recommend this book to 7th-9th graders. If you choose to read this book you will be amazed by what you will find hidden inside the pages.

Review: "Freak the Mighty" Is a wonderful and suspensful book. Max and Freak met at daycare when later Freak moved away. Years later Freak moves back and once again he's friends with Max. Max has a mental disability and Freak has a form of dwarfisim. During the 4th of July they meet up with Tony D.(blade) and his gang and get into a big mess. And that night they became Freak The Mighty. Max's dad was put in jail for murder and was let out for swearing on the holy Bible and thats when it all happens when Max gets kidnapped by his father............ And I guess you'll have to figure out the rest on your own!

Summary: One of the World's GREATEST
Review: I have read many good novels in my life but this has got to be on of the most exciting and fulfilling book ever. The characters are detailed so well that I can actually imagine them doing the things they do. I have read the follow up and it's almost as good as the first, only with Kevin deceased there is a lot of emptiness to fill, and Worm can't fill it all. I would give this novel a 6-star rating if I could.

Summary: So Close to Home
Review: I thought that this book was very interesting. It was cool how Max and Kevin would go on all of those adventures, and they would always find some way to weasel out of trouble. I can relate to Max in many ways on account of one of my best friends died of a disease. This is how I really knew how he felt, and I knew how badly it hurt. This book would always keep me on the edge of my seat and I could never get enough. I think alot of other people would also gladly read it, and hopefully enjoy it as much as I did. I would gladly read it again, and I also plan on recommending it to others.

Summary: Freak the Mighty
Review: Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick is a pretty good book, our class read it and we compared it to The Giver by Lois Lowry and That Was Then This is Now by S.E. Hinton. I think this is the best book we read. It's thought-provoking, funny, suspenseful, and sad. I would recomend this book to anyone. It's not the best in the world, but it's up there. My class unanimously appreciated it. If you're a teacher, this is a good book for class discussion. Freak the Mighty is a very good book. Tom, Grade 7
