Summary: Freak the Mighty
Review: Freak and Max are two outsiders that have moved to a town in the city. Max is always being picked on because he is so big. Freak is small but is really smart and does well in school. Max and his grandparents live together because his dad is in jail. Rodman Philbrick has come out with many books, but this is one of the best. If you have read this book and liked it you should read "Max the Mighty."

Summary: The Mighty
Review: I really enjoyed this book. Kevin had alot of courage, spunk, and charisma. To go out in the public and be with Max. Even when people said bad stuff about them. They both were very brave. This book can be something young people can enjoy. They can even relate to it.

Summary: Freak The Mighty is a Mighty book :)
Review: After spending only 2 hours reading this book, all i can say is WOW! This book is a real "page turner" and u may say it makes you burnin fer lernin. The author expresses the feelings of each character in great deal, and the best part is, the dialect and the narrative of the story is extremely easy to read and understand. It goes exactly how the average kid may be telling a friend about a story or thinking it in their minds. If you are hesitant on buying this book because you are worried you wont like it, think again cuz u definitely do NOT want to miss out on this one! I have read tons of books and this one turns out to be a real classic. Sure u can say Stephen Kings The Stand and The Shining were also excellent books, but this book is unique and one of a kind. It is a must get!

Summary: The power of friendship
Review: Freak the Mighty is a wonderful story of friendship, growing pains, and learning how much easier it is to face life's challenges with a friend. It might be best to use this as a read aloud in 5th or 6th grade, but it would be fine for independent reading beyond that. Although the text itself is easy to read and understand, the concepts will be more powerful if they are discussed. I would recommend this book especially to anyone who feels alone or out of place; it speaks to the heart, and offers hope. The non-Hollywood, realistic ending may catch some kids by surprise...

Summary: It's very personal this thing called adolescence...
Review: Having read 'Freak the Mighty' I picture the actor Ian Michael Smith who played in the self title movie 'Simon Birch' which is based on the novel character Owen Meany John Irving's novel 'A Praise for Owen Meany' as the character Kevin also known as 'Freak the mighty' it is an riveting and poignant story with solid characters large, awkward and learning disabled Max, small, birth defected-crippled body but not his brilliant mind Kevin together form a friendship and become 'freak the mighty' 9 feet tall Kevin the freak is the brains Max his size being the mighty it's a brisk pacing story with humor and tears to carry us along.

Summary: My favorite book?
Review: This just might be my favorite book ever. I usually like more realistic stories, but even though the actions Max and Kevin take aren't always completely believable, their friendship and thoughts definitely are, and it still keeps you wanting to read on. Philbrick makes Max and Kevin seem like such wonderful people you really wish you could meet them when the book ends. Kevin particularly is a smart character who actually has a sense of humor and is not too geeky perfect, which is something you don't see as much as you should. That brings me to another good point about this book- even though it has parts with a lot of action and a very sad ending, there ARE funny parts, which make it a big relief from your average depressing YA novel. If you like this, I also recommend the movie,which is a little bit hard to find, but excellent if you can get your hands on it.

Summary: Freak The Mighty
Review: This book is about a boy who is considered extremely large and dumb. He becomes best friends with a boy who is considered extremely small and smart. The large boy is named Mighty, and the small boy is named Freak.

There are two main problems in this story. The first is that since Freak is so small, he is dying because his internal organs are outgrowing the rest of his body. The other is that Mighty had previously witnessed his father murder his mother, and very soon his father will be getting out of jail.

This is a really groovy book because it is a "page turner." The author gives such a clear, descriptive image of each character that you can almost taste their personalities in your mouth. Freak is so smart, he even writes his own dictionary.

It had a sad ending, but that doesn't change how much I loved the book. I recommend you read this awesome book and if you don't, you're missing out on a good memory.
