Summary: Our feelings about Shabanu is a confusing book.
Review: BRYAN FRATES RAMSEY WILSON

Shabanu is a book about a Pakastani girl who is 11 years old.This book takes place in the Cholistan Desert. Shabanu has an arranged marriage by her father which she does not like at all. We would not recomend this book to other 7th grade student, because of the confusing parts of the book. We would probably recomend it to Freshmens.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: We thought that the book was slow going and boring.
Review: The book needed more action. It was boring and annoying because of the Arabic words because we had to stop and look in the back of the book. We didn't like it because it needed more action. We didn't like all the talk about the wedding

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: We thought this book was O.K.
Review: Shabanu was a book written by Suzanne Fisher Staples. It was a fairly boring book in our opinion, but it also had many important facts about Pakistan. It had many important facts about the lives of the people, and animals that live in Pakistan. The book discussed how many different ceremonies in the Pakistani's lives happen The book was fairly boring for us,because it seemed to be aimed at the more mature peoples. This book is a excellent resource to learn more about Pakistan.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: We think this book was a good class reading book.
Review: This book was fairly written, it had many details about the lifestyle of nomads in Pakistan. Many parts of the story went from very high action to almost nothing happening, this made the book boring. Shabanu would be a good choice for a school book report but not for a fun reading book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: We didn't like this book much.
Review: We both thought the book was boring and not exciting. We rate this book a 2. There was no action, and if there was we would have liked it more. In all we didn't like the book much.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Read Shabanu, it is unique and well-written book.
Review: Shabanu was a well-written book with lots of information on the life of desert nomads in Pakistan. This book helped us understand that having a life without fair rights can be difficult, especially for those who have arranged marriages. The book Shabanu was very interesting with its ups and downs. It left us with a lasting impression, although the ending was hard to understand. We liked this book, because of it's descriptive, in-depth material.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: We would read Shabanu again if we had the chance.
Review: We liked Shabanu a lot. The book was very interesting and exciting to read. Shabanu also gives the reader lots of information about desert-nomad life.We understood what she (Shabanu) was going through, but we disliked some of her parents choices for her life. We would read it again if we had the chance.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: We think Shabanu is a very informative book. READ IT!
Review: We thought the book Shabanu, by Suzanne Fisher Staples, was a good book. (Slightly boring in some parts, though.) It had a lot of detail about Pakistani life, which could appear awkward to an American person. It had many similies and metaphors to make the book more interesting to the reader. Some parts of Shabanu were confusing and sad. Think about reading Shabanu, you won't be disappointed!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: We thought that Shabanu was interesting and very appealing
Review: Shabanu was a well written book, exposing the reader to a different culture. Shabanu, by Suzanne Fisher Staples, featured a Muslim adolescent and her family. It showed the troubles, envy, and jealousy of a young adolescent.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This is an informitive book but isn't for action lovers.
Review: Shabanu is an informitive book a book about Pakistan life in the desert. The book is taken from a first person point of veiw by an 11 year old girl named Shabanu. It describes the traditions of Pakistan and the problems that occur while trying to follow them.
