Summary: Sam's Book review
Review: The Ear, The Eye and The Arm, is an interesting adventure that demonstrates curiosity, hope, and sadness. This story is set in the future around 2194. One of the interesting things in this book is that it brings back old cultures. For example, in this story being fat is an accomplishment, just like the good old days. In this story three children are kidnapped for ransom and their father, the general calls up three detectives. Their names are Ear, Eye, and Arm. Weird names I know, but that is what makes this story unique. So you should read it because it is great, at least I think so.

With all of these exciting things happening would you like to be cooped up for the rest of your life with a father that treats you like a soldier under his command? That was Tendai, Rita and Kuda's lives until they sneak off on a forbidden adventure. And finally some exciting things start happening, but not the kind of excitement and adventure they were looking for! Their father is worried they are lost forever, but this problem is out of his control.

Summary: Arina's Book Review
Review: What would you do if you knew nothing about the outside world? Where would you go to get food? Where would you get water? These are some of the problems that General Matsika's three children get themselves into. Tendai, Rita, and Kuda set out into the world alone all because they want ot earn a scouting badge. Instead of earning a scouting badge, they get themselves kidnapped. Their first stop is to Mbare Musika, where they get kidnapped. Then they are taken to Dead Man's Vlei, where they meet some people that play important roles later on in the story. Then they escape to Resthaven. Soon enough, they are traviling again to Mrs. Horsepool-Worthingham's house, which is the Mellower's mother. The Ear, the Eye and the Arm are the detectives that General Matsika hires to find his children. Each time, they are so close to finding the children; the children just slip away to another place. The Ear, the Eye and the Arm is a book that is full of hope, excitement, and suspense. I happened to like the book very much. The character's each are special in their own way. They all play an important role in the story. Nancy Farmer's novel, The Ear, the Eye and the Arm is a good book for families. Read the book to find out what will become of General Matsika's three children.

Summary: THE BEST BOOK EVER!
Review: Think of a world with robots running your life,would you like it here? The story takes place in 21 century Zimbabwe.I thought this book was #1 and best of all the books I ever read. With the crime on the streets Kuda, Rita, and Tandai have to fight their way through the city. Kuda, Rita, and Tandai are General Matsika's Children. The children wanted to search the city to get exploration badges, but all they find is a gang of criminals raging fear to the streets of Zimbabwe. This gang is the only gang left on the streets. Ear, Eye, and Arm are detectives hired by the general to find his kids. Each detective has special abilities isn't it obvious what these abilities might be. If you don't know then I suggest you read this book. The thing about my review is that I left out the best parts inn the book. SO READ IT!

Summary: The Ear The Eye And The Arm
Review: Imagine a world o future Zimbabwe. Where you don't have to clean, wash, cook, or organize. Where you kids can mess in the house as long as you want. Do you want to go there? Even if it's a place with bloody and brutal killer masks? This is the world where Tendai lives, who is the maoin character of THE EAR THE EYE AND THE ARM. Tendai lives in a world that is full of robots. His butler, maid, cook, and even his dog Doberman is a robot. For some reason future Zimbabwe is a perfect and comfortable place to live, but every city has at least one weakness. Tendai's life was going very fine until his birthday wish came true. This experience was a very important event when Tendai changed from a small foolish child to a man. Dring this trip, he met trustful friends and cruel enemies. He moves from one place to another uncovering his tough adventure by Mwari. From the trip he finds about real bravery and feelings that he never knew that he had. I think this book is and excellent book to read and was the best book I've ever read. Once I opened the book and read, I couldn't put it down. When I read one chapter, I was so curious to find what will happen in the next chapter. Sometimes I read it for 3 hours because I couldn't stop reading. It was kind of a good addiction, different from smoking. I loved this book and I can't wait to recommend this book to every one of my friends. Even if you are a slow reader and doesn't like to read books, like me, I bet you'll be interest in this book so much.

Summary: it's OK
Review: If you like science fiction and fanticy read this book. For myself I enjoyed this book at the beggining, but in the middle and at the end it wasn't good at all. I read it in english and every page I read it got more boring. I thought I would like this book because it had science ficton in it, it had science fiction but it was to exaggerated.in 2146 I dont think technolagy will be that good and crimminals will be that bad. It is a two star because it was really quit boring.
