Summary: The Mighty
Review: The Mighty was a very well written book, though there were many ideas in the book that were confusing. It was written as though Max was telling the story, and he did not always use the best grammer. This story had a good, understandable plot that was very entertaining. This book was a book mainly for young adults, because it had many emotional concepts that younger chldren may not be able to cope with, let alone understand.

Summary: Freak the Mighty
Review: Who's that big kid? And who is his tag along? This is
what one might think if you first saw the two main
characters in Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick.
Combined, these two become a marvelous team and take
on many challenges. Maxwell, the large boy, and Kevin,
the smaller of the two, are both different from
everyone else and from each other, yet they can
understand each other like no one else can. Freak the
Mighty explores the concept of overcoming
differences and using your imagination to go places
you have never been. The author takes you for a walk
in someone's shoes filled with many emotions, yet
leaves you satisfied with the ending.
The story is set in a small town city where you cannot
hide much from anyone. Maxwell, Freak, is consider
slow by other people's standards until Kevin moves
next door. The author does a nice job of developing
the characters in a way that the reader becomes
attached and is curious to read on. Maxwell helps
freak learn how to do more than what he actually can
do. Kevin is smart and gives Maxwell and the reader
many things to think about. "Remembering is just an
invention of the mind" (Philback 141,) Kevin says to
Maxwell one afternoon.
The plot is filled with many twists and turns. One
day they are taking a calm quest to the hospital where
Kevin goes and the next they are running for their
lives from the bullies. These turns help add to the
emotions and feelings that a reader feels. It is hardto predict what is going to happen from one section to
the next. There are many different conflicts that
keep it interesting and exciting. The conflict is
often hidden amongst the fun the two boys are having
together, which makes for a less harsh read. At other
points the conflict is illuminated by traumatizing and
scary events. One such time when the conflicted is
illuminated is when they are returning a purse over in
the not so good area of town and it turns ugly.
If you like Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, I
believe that you will like this book as well. In both
of these books, there is an unconditional friendship,
no matter how different the two sets of friends are
from each other. This book is geared to the young
adult age range. It is a book that can be dealt with
at different levels. One person may not get the same
thing out of it as another, but they will still have
something to take from it.
I would recommend this book because of its lessons it teaches and the way it is presented. The lessons are
brought out through example and help the reader to
understand what is going on. I also enjoyed the
adventure Kevin and Maxwell discovered. I was amazed
at how the two different kinds of people could find a
common ground and almost become one person. They
develop a relationship that is different, yet one to
be envious of.
Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick is a book that
you should add to your list. Maybe you will learn something or maybe you will just admire the book for
what it is worth. Read with an open mind and your mind
might be opened to a new vision of how you look at
people.

Summary: Freak The Mighty
Review: I am not trying to be mean or anything but, do you have disabilities? If you are you will like this book. There was this young boy named Kevin and his friends called him Freak. Freak was a disabled boy. When he was in preschool he was on crutches. He was made fun of a lot. When people would make fun of him he would take his crutch and hit them with it. Then they called him Kicker. There was another boy named Max and he was huge for his size. Max get to being friends again. They go on many adventures.
I hope you like the rest of the story. I would recommend this book to other disabled children and adults and other people if not disabled.

Summary: it was bad
Review: My opinion was that this is a bad book. It was about this little dwarf kid that has this disiese that makes him small, what he lacks in body size he makes up in brain size, he is very smart. There is also this big kid with disease that makes him huge what he has in body size he lacks in brain capacity. Together they play around doing imaginary things and having fun, together they are freak the mighty. But really the disease that is in the dwarf kid (freak) is taking over his body and eventually he dies at the end in the hospitol.

Summary: IT IS A REAL PAGE TURNER!
Review: I liked this book because this book is about friendship. I also like the book because our teacher read this book to me and I could not wait until she read to me! My favorite characters were MAX and KEVIN because they help each other all the time. Why I like MAX and KEVIN is because they are totally different and they are still friends.
My favorite part of the book is when they are on their quest and get trouble. At the end of the book i did not like it, one of the main characters dies.

Summary: A real page turner
Review: I enjoyed this book because it is funny, and full of action. I also liked the book because it has sad parts, and happy parts. My favorite character was Kevin because he was funny, and brave. I also liked Max because even though he is big and strong, when he gets picked on he never fights. My favorite part of the book was when Max and Kevin help each other to get away from Blade. That was my favorite part because it shows that they are really friends. The ending was the best part but i'll let you find that out for yourself.

Summary: "Freak" for All!
Review: The ages for this book says 9-12. Don't be fooled. I'd say 9-Infinity. I'm 14 and I cherish this book. I have a huge movie poster of the movie based on this book, "The Mighty". It's signed by the author, too. Everyone who comes into my room gives it a weird look.
But, really, this book is a magical tale of a deep friendship between two boys. Max is an oversized boy who lives with his grandparents after his father killed his mother. Max isn't very smart. "I never had a brain until Freak came along" he claims. When his peers see him, they chant, "Killer Kane Killer Kane had a kid who has no brain", in reference to his father, "Killer Kane". Then, one day, he notices someone moving into the house next door to him. The woman has a boy Max's age who is small and with a health problem. He calls himself Freak. Freak loves everything to do with the Middle Ages. Soon, Max and Freak become one person, Freak the Mighty, and are fighting knights and dragons in a far-off lands in their imaginations. But then they're faced with the very real problems of Max's father, and Freak's illness.
Read this book, then buy the movie! Both are exceptional!
