Summary: An interesting read
Review: This book began as the typical young adult novel, a good looking boy falls for the rich, classy and beautiful girl, but somehow, the author managed to pull it off in the end.Buddy Boyle is young and immature to the ways of the world. But when Buddy meets Skye Pennington, he realizes that there is a whole other world, and it has class. Unfortunately for Buddy, he lives in a middle class lifestyle and has nothing to impress Skye with (since all boys seem to have a need to impress their girlfriends) So Buddy takes Skye to meet his wealthy and estranged grandfather. I enjoyed this book because it is quite different from most of the books that I've read before. I am more into historical fiction type books and although this book may seem like that type, the theme is mainly concerning discrimination. I've never read a book about the holocast, and this book gave an interesting point of view. At one point in this book, I really felt like crying because of how cruel some people can be. This book touched me on a real emotional level surprisingly since it started out quite differently. The symbolism is wonderful. The grandfather talks about how all birds are prisoners of their own territory and yet he always feeds the birds. I thought Gentlehands was marvelous, but the only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because it ended rather abruptly. It's one of my pet peeves when books end too quickly, and this book did. But give this book a chance, it gets boring at some parts, but it really is a great book and has a great lesson: that the past is all in the past.

Summary: I think this book was not good at all.
Review: This book had no action whatsoever. All the book was was talking. This book would be good for people who don`t like action at all. The only part good in the book was at the very last pages. If I had a choice I would not read that book agian. It would probably be good for girls.

Summary: Harsh
Review: This book is a love story about a towny who falls in love with a fancy pancy richy girl. He uses his grandfather to impress her but learns of a twisted story his grandfather hides in his past. This is a very thrilling and mushy book. It can haunt with the events, or it can please you in its love story. Either way it is pretty good. I will not give it 5 stars because of some of the events and the mention of Holocaust. It can be scary. I was required to read this in 7th grade and I enjoyed it along with 75% of my class whereas the other 25% hated it.

Summary: A moving story of a Boy with a tough life.
Review: This book is truly good. It got me really sad for Grandfather to have to leave Buddy, just when Buddy was getting to really like him. I read this for a book report and didn't think it was going to be interesting, but I was wrong. This is one book I won't forget.

Summary: THE BESTEST!
Review: This book, Gentlehands is by far the best book i've read. The author, M.E. Kerr keeps you guessing whats next in the capter, and yet u can't seem to put the book down. I will always anxoius to see whats next. This remarkembly good book is about a boy named Buddy Boyle who love this girl Skye Pennington. He takes her to see his grandfather who he hadn't seen since he was little. And he grows up to really like him. And...well you'll have to read it! I'd recommend it!

Summary: GentleHands
Review: This is a must read book. It is a very powerful book. It centers around Buddy boyle a boy who lives near the beach. His family is not rich but Buddy falls in love with a rich girl, Sky Pennington. Buddy is a boy who works at the Sweet Mouth and dresses fancy only because he wants to impress his girlfriend and her family. The main character (Buddy Boyle) learns in this story that do not try to be something your not because in the end it will all come back on you. I give this book Five stars because of the excellent writing style and all the emotions in this book.

Summary: Bad
Review: When I chose to read this book I expected one about Buddy and his grandfathers past. What I got instead was a stupid book about a hormonal teenage boy who would, it seems, do anything to get with a girl. M.E. Kerr had a good idea but went off on another plot that displayed the worst in the plot, character, and her writing.

Summary: Jordan's review ( hi Bisson)
Review: When i first picked out this book i expected it to be a fast read, that i heard good things about, and something i could easily write a book report on for my wounderful history class. i really an not a reader, it is actually really hard for me to get into a book. This book hooked me in really fast, it had a tone through out the whole book which was easy to follow. i loved the love in the story along with the conflict. It deffinitly kept me in suspence. i think this book is good for a young adult/teenager, who like romance/mystery stories.
