Summary: Freak the Mighty- Nicole's review
Review: Freak the Mighty captivated my imagination. It held my attention from the first sentence of the book, "I never had a brain until Freak came along and let me borrow his for awile," to the end of this book, " But what finally happened was that his heart grew to big for his body." Rodman Philbrick writes this poignant story in the perspective of Max. Max is a learing disabled and extremely large boy. During the summer of eighth grade, Max and Kevin meet and unite as Freak the Mighty. Together, they experience a variety of exciting quests and adventures. Freak the Mighty is a book containing many vauable morals as well as vibrant symbolism. This book was recommended to me, and I would absolutely recommend that you read it.

Summary: Freak the mighty
Review: I really enjoyed this book, this book was about a boy who was scared of his father getting released from prison and, kidnapping him away from his grandparents who had raised him. My favorite character is Kevin he showed a lot of potenial because he didn't care what people thought about him and how he looked.My favorite part of the book was when Kevin told Max's father that he will spray him with his water gun that had acid in it but it really had water and chilli powder.

Summary: This book ROCKS!
Review: This book was magnificient!!! I have never read a novel so exciting and full of pleasant and unpleasant experiences. You would never have guessed the ending. Even though I don't prefer sad stories, this one brought a great point around. When Max gets taken hostage by his so-called father, "Killer Kane" I thought he was never going to return. Then Freak saves the day by finding them in a broken down building. This book is excellent proof that two is better than one, and I highly recommend it to any reader!!!!!!

Summary: Mighty Freaky!
Review: Freak the Mighty is an exciting and thrilling book. It involves two characters Max and Freak. Max is learning disabled and Freak has a growing disorder (meaning that he is very short). Together they call themselves, "Freak the Mighty." Max's mom died when he was very little. Max's dad is in prison for the charge of killing someone. He is known as, "Killer Kane." Now Max lives with his grandparents. Freak (Kevin), lives with his mother Gwen next door to Max. They spend time with each other every day going on adventures and sticking up for each other in bad situations. At school and other places, Freak rides on Max's back. Now that they are the best of friends, the kids don't make fun of Max as much anymore (except for Tony D.). Since Freak has a growing disorder, he is excited that he is going to get his new bionic body. Max is kind of worried, but Freak is determined that it is going to work. I won't spoil the rest of the book for you. You have to find out for yourself!

Summary: one of a kind
Review: In your school, did you ever notice the kid that always used to get made fun of? That's what it was like for Max and Kevin before they became best of friends. Author, Rodman Philbrick, shows us what it's like to be different. Kevin, the 12-year-old genius, has a birth defect called Morquio Syndrome that prevents growth. Max, however, has his own problems too: learning disabled, living in a slightly rough neighborhood, and having to be looked at as "Killer Kane's" son a.k.a. his father who is in prison for life for killing his mother. But when Kevin and Max become "Freak the Mighty", the adventure begins.
With Freak sitting on top of Max's shoulders, together as a team, with Freak's brains and Max's long legs, they outsmart Tony D., the neighborhood rebel, return a stolen purse to a damsel in distress and go on more of Freak's crazy missions.
But things weren't always so happy for Max and Freak. When Killer Kane escapes from parole to kidnap his son on Christmas, who he hasn't seen in years, things really start to get heated. Being tied to the waist of Killer Kane to breaking into a woman's house, to hide from the cops, Grim and Gram, Max's grandparents, which of whom he lives with, begin a police search. Freak finally rescues and helps his best friend by tricking Killer Kane into believing that he cannot see. Once Killer Kane is in jail for life, Max has to start to look out for his best friend. A surprising ending will keep you reading.
This is a wonderful story over imperfection and happiness. It's a mixture of everything that should be in a book. I definitely loved the book and I'd read it again any day. It has a positive aura that you will feel about yourself. It's unforgettable.

Summary: Freak the Mighty
Review: Rodman Philbrick's Freak the Mighty is a compelling story of friendship in a time of despair and fate. It has very firm characters and a steady pace.
This book is very adventurous and full of creativity. While reading the book, I felt sympathetic toward Freak. He can hardly walk and only has a short time to live. I did not feel as much for Max, because he could change his status. When I finished the book, I also felt sad for Gwen when Freak died. I developed compassion toward people with Morquio Syndrome and other types of disorders
My favorite character in this book is Freak. Even though he has an incurable disorder, he lives life to the fullest and appreciates what little time he has left. My least favorite character is Max's dad. He is selfish and only wants to use Max to make money.
My favorite part of the book is when Max and Freak go on an imaginative quest to hospital. The part of the book I disliked was the character of Max's father. I didn't like when he was paroled and kidnapped Max. The story is a spectacular piece of literature filled with brilliant characters who overcome the pains of life. From reading this book I learned the difficulties that people with Morquio Syndrome have to go through in order to feel normal and accepted. I think the ending of the book was brief and not very descriptive, but truthfully saddening.
One thing I would like to know about this story is if Max has any other relatives or not. I would also like to know when the story took place. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes reading. I would also read other books written by Rodman Philbrick.
Even though Max mourns his mother's death and fears his father's return, he befriends Kevin, a boy genius only a third his size, who is diagnosed with the incurable Morquio Syndrome. Finally, I think it is very brave and thoughtful of Max to make friends with Freak and together become Freak the Mighty.
