Rating: Summary: A Wonderful Book Review: This book is definatley one of my all time favorites. As a person who is usually bored with history and historical fiction, I found The Fifth of March interesting and captivating. I would especially recommend this book to people who are bored with history in school and want to make it more exciting. This book is a real page turner; I couldn't put it down!
Rating: Summary: READ THIS REVIEW!!!!!!!!!! Review: "Read any book by Ann Rinaldi for your report, then write a paper on it," said my history teacher. As soon as he mentioned Ann Rinaldi I cringed; I had tried to read "A Break With Charity" a year or two ago, and it was too boring for me to get through. So I reluctantly went to a bookstore and bought a book that was about the time period we were studying in history, "The Fifth of March." As soon as I got past the first chapter, the book got incredibly good, and I usually don't even like historical fiction. The book is about a girl, Rachel Marsh. She is an indentured servant for John and Abigail Adams. It is about how she is struggling between keeping her position as a servant and by doing what is right, feeding a British soldier, her friend, in jail. No matter what you need this book for, a history project, a kid who likes historical fiction, it is almost perfect. The only bad thing about the book is that some parts are boring. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to broaden their knowledge of history. Enjoy!
Rating: Summary: Another Winner Review: I'm a big fan of Historical fiction, which makes me a big fan of Ann Rinaldi. Throughout the entire book, you're engrossed, and as it ends, you search for a possible sequel preveiw on the last page- but sadly there is none. The characters are interesting and the plot plausible, and five stars is definitely the bestway to describe it. :) Enjoy!
Rating: Summary: A good Revolutionary War romance Review: Ann Rinaldi is coming to dominate the historical romance field for young adults. Her novels always find the heart of the matter, regardless of the period. "The Fifth of March" is no exception, as it places young Rachel Marsh in the middle, between the Patriots like her employer John Adams, and her young love, the British soldier Matthew. The outcome is taut with excitement. My only complaint, and that is as a teacher and not a reader, is that the history isn't quite detailed enough. The issues driving the Boston Massacre aren't laid out as clearly as I would like them to be, but the story is good enough for me to ignore that complaint. A good, romantic read for young lovers of history.
Rating: Summary: A Historical Love Story Review: I highly recomend this book not only because of the accuracy of the historical facts but because it is well written and has a wonderful love story. Rachel works in the Adam's prominant home and as such is the privy to quite a bit of political knowledge with the master of the house defending the Britsh Soldiers who shot in to the crowd on that fateful day the Fifth of March. The love story comes in with the kind hearted sentry that guards the Adams door (and is also one of the soldiers who shot into the crowd) and you can defintely connect with Rachel's feelings about him. What will happen with Rachel and the kind hearted sentry? The Fifth of March is a good book for those who want to find out more about the Boston Massacre, the American Revolution or like love stories.
Rating: Summary: Great al the End Review: I thought this book was slow in the beging but I loved it after the massacre. This is a great book if youwant to now something about the Boston Massacre or the Adams Family.
Rating: Summary: GREAT AT THE END Review: I thought this book was slow in the beging but I loved it after the massacre. This is a great book if you want to now something about the Boston Massacre or the Adams Family.
Rating: Summary: I loved it! Review: this book was so good! it made me want to live in the times of rachel. it made me cry like 2 or 3 times! i usually don't cry unless books are really really good! ann rinaldi is my favorite author and i hope she keeps writing good books!
Rating: Summary: Unbelievable! Review: This book captures the realness of the Boston Massacre and tells about the life of Rachel Marsh, a girl working as an indentured servant for John Quincy Adams. I don't think you can give this book less than 5 stars just because the character had no real historical significance because almost all of the main characters in her books aren't real, but the books are still, as usual, amazing.
