Summary: This book is the continues the Tillerman Family novel
Review: "Seventeen Agasinst the Dealer" is the last book in the Tillerman Family novels. Dicey is faced with many problems and harships, but when they occur, Dicey's family and friends are always there to guide her. Cynthia Voigt has written this novel very descriptively, so that readers can understand the character's life more easily. At first, in "Homecoming", the reader didn't know that much information about the characters. In this book, he/she can now know more about the them. Because of that, the reader can put him/herself into the character's place and understand what they are feeling. Cynthia Voigt inspired me to go out into the world and make my own choices. She also has given me the idea to be all that I can be and do my best.

Summary: Ahh...okay.
Review: By now, the wonderfully three-dimensional characters such as Dicey and Jeff are beginning to wilt. I recommend this book to fans of Dicey because it is good to find out what happens, but this isn't a book worth reading more than two or three times. (the earlier ones in the series NEVER get old) It's too depressing, and the happy ending doesn't really make up for the depressing parts.I've always been disappointed that Jeff Greene, who is possibly my favorite character in all of literary fiction, is never fleshed out beyond A Solitary Blue. The later Dicey books make him out to be some sort of young god. Kind of disappointing.

Summary: The final Tillerman saga
Review: Cynthia Voight never ceases to amaze, in this closing book to the ongoing Tillerman saga. Dicey gets a hold of her life in this installment, but shows how growing older makes life less easy to control. I recommend this to anyone who has read the other Tillerman books and wants to finish it. I only wish it were longer, and gave the ending more room. Truly amazing in all aspects. It is just a good book.

Summary: Another Winner
Review: Cynthia Voigt created a bestselling series with the Tillerman family that began with "Homecoming" and ended with this book "Seventeen against The Dealer." Voigt's talented use of action and realistic dialogue to move the story along keeps readers turning the pages and longing for more. I became a Dicey fan early on for her courage and her spunk. Dicey, the whole Tillerman clan make excellent role models for today's young.
I recommend this book to all the young and young at heart. Beverly J Scott Author of Righteous Revenge

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: I have loved all the book in the Tillerman cycle for years. No one that I know reads them seriously, so I've never been able to find out: is Cisco really Francis Verricker, Dicey's father? I would reccommend this book to anyone, even someone that has not read the series. It is a beautiful story about learning that self reliance is not always the best path.

Summary: A fitting end
Review: In all honesty, this book could be about the Tillermans starting a circus and I would still have enjoyed it. But it isn't, and Dicey's struggle to build boats and finish building herself and her relationships is exactly the way the series is supposed to end. This book lacks the sheer poetic beauty of A Solitary Blue or Homecoming, but anyone who remotely enjoyed any of the other books would find a visit to Seventeen... worthwhile. Yes, it gets bogged down in the details of boatbuilding, but it effectively demonstrates how most of us spend our adult lives bogged down in the details, always teetering on the edge of success or ruin. And its nice to see Dicey and Jeff still together, but maybe thats just me.

Summary: Good from beginning to end!!
Review: Jeff has to grow up dealing with the fact that he has no mother to live with after she ran away from him and left him with his father. Who is an unemotional professor who believes in not sharing any emotions or feeling with anyone. The depressing parts leave almost any person thankful that they actually do have two parents who care about them and feel that they can tell their parents anything.

Summary: This is an excellent book showing the warmth of the family..
Review: Seventeen Against The Dealer is a book which wraps up the unanswered questions in the previous six books. The warmth of the family and Dicey's ambition was expressed with twists and turns throughout her life. It was a wonderful book showing the reality of their lives and their conflicts. By the end, the reader can feel the family's togetherness and see that each of the children have begun their lives as an adult carrying out the goals in their life.
Rating:
Summary: This is a good book!
Review: Seventeen against the Dealer is a great book. I read it twice in the last two months; it is so good. You will really like this if you've read any of the Tillerman Series before this, but this book stands on its own well too.
