Summary: Kinda Boring
Review: I had to read this book in seventh grade for Language Arts and everyone in my class absolutley hated it. Freak the Mighty was so boring and did not keep my attention I had never fallen asleep in class before until I was reading this book. The idea of an eighth grader who seems to have a learning disability becoming friends with a midget becomes entirely weird. I hated this book in every way possible I hope that you will take my advice and steer clear of this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Why did It Take So Long To Write This Book?
Review: Freak the Mighty is a sad but a wonderful book. Max is an is a over grown 8th grader and he said, "I never had a brain till Freak came along." Freak's real name is Kevin, is very smart and small. Freak is so smart that he confused the principal. Freak the Mighty shows it's okay to be different no matter how big or small you are or dumb and smart you always a heart.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Friendship and Teamwork
Review: The book I read was Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick. I picked friendship and teamwork because it is an important part in the book. Friends make a very good team. I have many friends but Max has one friend and that is Freak. Max needs Freak so he can read and get smart. Freak needs Max to walk "high above the sky".

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Great Story of Friendship
Review: Maxwell is a large boy who just doesn't fit in. He doesn't have any friends... he is socially awkward... he has a difficult time in school... and he has a well known family history-- and not a good one.
Poor Max has it rough.
One day he meets a young boy named Kevin... or as many people call him, The Freak. Kevin is living with a disability caused by a condition he has had since birth. Kevin is tiny and has to walk with metal crutches. He is not what society would deem "Normal". But one thing is for sure he is very intelligent!
When Max and Kevin meet they become fast friends and are instantly transformed into... "Freak the Mighty".
Transported by Kevin's intellect, boldness and imagination the two boys face many wild adventures and trials. The story is full of many great twists and turns... it is far from a dull book.
The book becomes very rewarding and touching as you read it. I was very satisfied with Rodman Philbrook's writing and I'm sure you will be too!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Want to go on a good quest? Read Freak the Mighty!
Review: In Freak the Mighty, two of the main characters are very different. One is extremely tall (7 feet tall) and not smart at all (Max Kane), and the other is really short (2 feet) and extremely smart (Kevin). Kevin is like a walking dictionary. He even carries a little dictionary with him. He loves King Arthur. Kevin takes Max on quest every day. "Slaying dragons and fools and walking high above the world." That's what they do. Max carries Freak (Kevin) on his shoulder when they walk around. Some times they get into a little bit of trouble like picking fights with gangs. The good thing is they always get out of it even if they're stuck in a pond. This is a very good book. I would suggest it to anyone. I loved it the book is so detailed. When you read this book you feel like you are really there with them. You feel kike you're actually going on the quest with them. Like it's you doing all the stuff, not them. "Slaying dragons and fools and walking high above the world.
