Summary: Brotherhood
Review: In another of the Tillerman series, Cynthia Voight explores the relationship between James and Sammy as each attempts to discover his inner self and who he wants to be. As the brothers search for a long missing father they grow to understand and admire each other. Although the plot bogs down in detail at times, there is enough action to keep the reader turning pages through to the finish. Not as captivating as the first two books in the series.

Summary: I thought it was INCREDIBLY boring!
Review: My opinions of this book differ from most peoples. I am a 13 year old teen. This book contains none of the elements of a story that I enjoy. I thought the book was extremely dull. The plot was well developed, but nothing kept me hooked except the due date of an essay I had to write on the novel. I prefer action, and this book had little. It was a deeply sentimental book dealing with the family troubles of the Tillermans. The book is nowhere near in my favorite genre. But if you prefer the emotional novels of Cynthia Voigt, this book's for you.

Summary: A Brother's Perspective
Review: Sons From Afar, by Cynthia Voigt was another huge success. In this particular book, the main characters are James & Sammy. James was the kind of person who wished to find out about his lost father because of his feelings in high school on how "being a dork isn't going to get you anywhere." He believes that since all the boys his age had fathers, they were all taught how to catch a ball ever since they were little. Although James had good grades, he wants to find a sport he could play well on. For Sammy, he's like the opposite of James. He's very active: participating in tennis and always being full of energy. When Sammy learned that James wanted to find their father, he didn't hesitate. He even entered a bar that says "no kids allowed" just to find his father! This was how Cynthia Voigt made this book interesting: describing the differences and problems of two brothers that can also happen in our every day lives. On every single page, there is excitement and adventure to make the reader satisfied on what he or she is reading. I have enjoyed this book, and this book will be an excellent choice for people who want to read about young adult fiction.

Summary: From Begining To End, This Story Keeps You Wanting LESS !
Review: This story, from the begining is VERY boring....you would think from the description that it would pull you into it and keep you there but it did just the opposite. I think the book might have been better if Voigt would have cut down on the long description. I only give it 2 *'s
