Rating: Summary: A Review Review: " Run, run, run, into the H2O." " Huh?" " Into the water dummy." " I'm stuck, I'm also sinking." " Their running. Here comes the cops." " Good because I'm up to my knees." " Thank you, sir." The book, Freak the Mighty, is a good book of friendship and good family. I also think that Rodman Philbrick did a good job describing the characters. Freak, Kevin, was made fun of a lot. At school he was stared at a lot. He was not mad or sad that the kids were staring at him because he was used to it. They were making fun of him because of his disability. Max's grandparents are very nice. They took him in after his mom died. His grim and gram didn't like his dad and refer to him as "him"(you will find out why when you read this book). Max's grandparents are also embarrassed because of his height and because he looks just like his father. That is way he has to live in the down under(the basement). His grim made the home down in the basement. The part of the book that was unbelievable was what happened at the end. Our teacher was almost crying and he has read the book many times. If you like sad and funny books you should read this book. I think the reason they named this book Freak the Mighty is because if you saw Kevin you would think he was a freak to. If you saw Max you would think he was mighty too. At school you can not separate them and Kevin makes up Freak the Mighty. Max is a very good friend to Kevin. Max even carried Kevin every where they went and they went a lot of places. Max would get tired but he never gave up. After have a great friend like Kevin Max should have not had to go though with that, but Kevin know it would happen someday. Just because of Kevin's disabled he was stared at a lot, but most of the time he was smarter than the rest. Max calls his grandparents grim and gram, are very nice for taking in Max. Max's grandparents don't like his dad. Max and Kevin are very good friends and Max should have not had to go though that.
Rating: Summary: Freak or Mighty? Review: This book is about two kids,Max and Freak.Their both in the same grade but Max is so tall that it looks like he's in collage and freak has a real body problem.He's getting bigger on the inside but not on the outside.There are two main parts,when Max gets kidnapped by his father and Freak dies because his insides couldn't fit in him anymore so he just dies.What I like about this book is that when both Max and Freak work together they call themselves Freak the Mighty and thats how the book got it's title.
Rating: Summary: Freak the Mighty Is An Eye Opener. Review: Freak The Mighty by Rodman Philbrick is a great book for everyone to read at some point. Philbricks two main characters in the book are Max and Kevin who are two special education children with different disabilities. The two boys dont have very many friends because they are rejected by most other kids. They become best freinds when they move near one another. Max is in Jr. High and an eighth grader who was forced to live with his grandparents. he has lots of common sense but when it comes to being book smart he is behind in that subject. When he was younger his father was convicted of murder. Before they told this I was wondering where was his parents because usually they are not in their childrens lives in stories like these. The other boy is Kevin who is a thirteen year old genius. He was born with a birth defect that keeps him the size of a small child. He is the boy named "Freak" in Freak the Mighty. The two boys put together can easily be called an opposite couple. The two form a friendship that is stronger than any other, it can be said that it is inseperable. All in all it was a good book that teaches you many lessons. One was that it doesn't matter what is on the outside but what is on the inside. I would recommend this to seventh grade and hight because kids of a younger age might not get some of the lessons. It is an eye opener book.

Rating: Summary: Touching my heart! Review: This book, Freak the Mighty, was awesome! It taught me that people may look different but deep inside they're almost exactly the same with you, and that you shouldn't pity people because of their disabilities. I really enjoyed this book because it made me laugh and cry, and it had a sense of reality in it!

Rating: Summary: Freak the mighty a Freaky Book Review: I'll start off by saying that Freak the Mighty is a horrible book. It has little plot. The whole book is basically a collection of short, very uninteresting events described from the eyes of a learning disabled 8th grader, Maxwell Kane, who has a passion for the word "butthead." Max's dad is in prison for murder. There is also a boy named Kevin who has disabilities that keep him from growing any taller than two feet and walking. He has dreams of becoming a robot someday. Kevin is referred to as "Freak," throughout the story. Freak rides around on Max's shoulders and together, they call themselves "Freak the mighty." It is all very boring. Anyway, they pretend they are knights of King Arthur's round table and go around completing small and seemingly dangerous (but really not) adventures that they refer to as quests. Some of their "quests," include walking to the hospital where Freak hopes to be fitted with his robot body someday, sneaking out of their houses at night to look for treasure in a drain, and Freak riding around on Max's shoulders in school. There are few, if any, interesting segments of the story. One of these includes a segment where Max has a scary incident with his father. Throughout the story, the history of both the boys' disrupted families is intermingled with their unexciting adventures that they share. In conclusion, Freak the Mighty is a boring, plotless, pointless book about two disabled 8th graders who go on uneventful adventures, I'm sorry, "quests". One of them hopes to become a robot someday. The other, well, he feels that he doesn't have a future. There are few, if any, bright spots to this story that is filled with bore and stupidity. So I highly recommend this book to everyone (under the age of 8).
Rating: Summary: The best book ever fpr kids to read. Review: I enjoyed the book, Freak the Mighty which was written by Rodman Philbrick, even though I really do not like to read. It was not the most exciting book I have ever read, but it was okay. The book was about a boy named Freak living in a community where another boy moved in. The two boys did not get along at first, but as the book progressed, they started to get along and be good friends. If you like books that are short, yet drawn out, then this is the book for you. The characters do such funny things that it keeps you wanting to read. YUou can tell the author took his time in writing this book. In conclusion, have fun and good reading.
Rating: Summary: Typical Plot/Ending And I Still Loved It Review: I read this book in 2 days (hey I had to stop and go to work!). It really is that good... This is a good story not only with whimsical comedy but also with heartwarming examples of true friendship. I'm such a softie.
