Summary: Walking high above the world
Review: Ok, first of all this book is one of the best books I have read so far!
Max is a really huge kid as days go by he is starting to look more and more like his mysterious jailbird father. Everybody thinks max is huge and retarded but Kevin A.K.A Freak. Max was scared of Freak at first, but that's how it all starts. They become inseparable best friends. Then a tragedy strikes and something really bad happens, but I'm not going to spoil it for those who have never read it before.
Anyway I definitely love this book and I would recommend this book to anyone who likes stories about friendship. There is a sequel called Max the Mighty, which was a great book by the way. Rodman Philback is a great author and I really like Freak the Mighty and Max the Mighty.

Summary: Freak the Mighty
Review: This book was the first book that ever made me cry because it was so sad. Even though it was very sad it was also very funny and interesting. Rodman Philback is such a great author. He did an extremely good job even though it was his first Scholastic book he has written. This book also touched me in a way that made me realized that it doesnt matter how weird you look or are you will find someone that will accept you for who you are.
This book is based upon two bwst friends that become one. Max is an extermely big and not very smart kid and his nieghbor Kevin wich is 2 feet tall who is so smart his has his own dictionary. They become bset friends and go through a lot thing together. Max's father breaks out of jail after being put there for killing his wife. Kevin has a seizure he is taken to a hospital for a serious surgery. Kevin and Max went through a lot but together ther came through.
Whenever Kevin got on Max's shoulders they became "Freak The MIghty" and They were invinsible.Max is the big and long legs and Kevin is the brains. they became "Freak The Mighty" when a bully Tony D. chased after them and Kavin got up on Max's shoulders and started to run. Kevin told him were to run to. They ran into the pond and waited until acop passed by and Tony D. and his gang ran away. That is the sotry that touched me form the biggining to end.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pick up this AWESOME book!
Review: I loved "Freak the Mighty"! It was such a touching story. Rodman Philbrick made me feel as if I was in it.
It shows me what friendship is all about. I would never expect a little boy genius and a 7 foot, dumb guy would be friends. Who would have thought that you could fit comedy, love and humor all into the same book at once?
If anyone is looking for a spectacular, heart-warming story, then pick up "Freak the Mighty" by Rodman Philbrick.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hey Miss O read this
Review: This was a great book. It was about a not so bright 7 foot tall Max and then his new extremely intelligent 2 foot tall neighbor named Kevin. Kevin has a birth defect that makes him grow on the inside but not on the outside. He can only walk with the help of his braces and crutches. They became friends instantly going on adventures with each other almost everyday. They became an unstoppable team and nothing could get in their path not even a bully named Tony D. Whenever Kevin gets on Max's back they become Freak the Mighty, Kevin being the brains and Max being the legs. Then Max's dad, Killer Kane, gets out of prison and Kevin has to go to the hospital for surgery. To find out the ending read the book. I would suggest it for 5th graders and up.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the best book of all time
Review: this book kept me hooked till the very end. it is a great story of friendship and the good times they had. all the things they do in the book are so exciting. freak is such an awesome character. max and freak are so funny together. though if you don't like sad ending books this one isn't for you.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Stop the Bully
Review: Have you ever been bullied? There was a lot of that going on in the book Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick, and it's about Max and Freak going through problems with Tony D and his gang. Throughout the book Tony D appears two times in the book, and in those two times he was bothering Max and Freak.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: "I never had a brain until Freak came along..."
Review: Max always felt dumb until Freak moved in next door. People would tease Max,like in chapter twelve, saying ''Killer Kane,Killer Kane had a kid who got no brain!'' Freak was also being teased when he moved in, and then Max and Freak teamed up and became friends, calling themselves " Freak the Mighty". With Max as the legs and Freak as the head.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Teamwork is useful
Review: Also when "Tony D. and his gang came they both helped each other. Max used his legs and Freak his smart big brain". I think Freak and Max are a great team. Two different people with unique qualities can make the best of friends. I have a friend just like freak. He brings out the best in me, we would do every thing together; we would play ball, tag everything. We even do home together. He is my best friend.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Caring for Others
Review: Millie Justiniano ****

I felt sad when I read this because Freak dies and at the end of the book and Max really cared about him. This encourages Max who feels like a dumb and Freak who cares. Freak the Mighty is the most wonderful and sand book I ever read. This book teaches us how caring for others is important because you won't know if someone else cares about you.
