We All Fall Down

Summary: Cormier never fails to capture our attention
Review: There are only a few Robert Cormier books I haven't read, and this one is no exception to their perpetual quality. Every single one, although dealing with similar topics, has been unique in its own way, so the reader can never get tired of Cormier's novels. His books also still remain extremely surprising and unpredictable. As I said, I have read many of RC's novels and couldn't even come close to forseeing what would happen in this one. Cormier never wastes characters, but has all of them that he mentions play a critical role in the story. "We All Fall Down" provides a melancholy depiction of the sometimes randomness of love, and the uncertainty of adolecense. This one, as all of Cormier's books, is hard to put down, and will keep you burning the midnight oil if you're a night reader like me.

Summary: super storytelling
Review: They entered the house on the evening of April Fool's Day, and in the next 45 minutes, four teenagers invaded every room of the house tearing up and damaging everything they touched.

It was bad luck that 14 year-old Karen arrived home during the vandalism...she was found unconscious on the cellar floor.

The avenger watched it all from across the street...it was important to remain hidden to wait for his revenge...those animals would be very sorry they ever invaded the Jerome house.

Most of Cormier's novels are controversial...this one is no different...if you liked this book, try _The Chocolate War_, _Tenderness_, or _Heroes_.

Summary: We All Fall Down
Review: This book is a very good book,because the author get to the heart of being a teenager and how easily a teenager can get caught up in a situation that they no longer have control over. He also makes very vivid the pain and angish that all of the kids felt.

Summary: This is another bad book by Robert Cormier!!
Review: This book is about a girl who moved to another state, and her house gets trashed. Mr. Cormier stretches the plot to the point that you want to throw the book away and never see it again. I believe that all of Mr. Cormier's books are bad, and he is not a very good author in my opinion.

Summary: Direct hit on the nerves

Summary: I would really recommend this book
Review: This book was on my list for choices for summer reading for 9th grade. I really don't like to read but i thought this book was really GOOD! I normally would hate reading and get distracted but this one kept my attention you were always trying to figure out who the "Avenger," is and things like that. This book was a little bit confusing to me at first because it went from one person to another but it was easy to think of it like watchikng a t.v. show when they go back and forth between the people showing what each one was doing at a certain point in time. I would really recommend this book to anyone!

Summary: It kept your mind thinking and your adrenaline flowing.
Review: This book would spark the interest of those who crave suspense. Cormier's use of words is sharp and makes you furious. Not only the charaters were disturbing, but the way things turned out was also. The story really makes you think and also gives you a new perspective on certain issues. So if you crave violent events and shocking surprises, read, "We All Fall Down."

Summary: This is the worst book I have ever read.
Review: This is by far the worst piece of 'literature' I have ever been unfortunate enough to read. This book is supposed to deal with 'real life' issues of young adults when in all actuality is nothing more than a shameless attempt at hack writing. Remember how R.L. Stine wrote crappy horror stories for children to make money... this is worse. Not only does it have nothing to do with adolescent issues, it in some ways promotes rape, drinking, and violence. This is by far the most horrible story I have ever read. This story is also not even written very well. Worst Book Ever.

Summary: depresing...but yet dazzling
Review: This is definitly some thing worth looking at. You find yourself making time to read this and from a teen age perspective it has alot of truth to it. Whats the cure to depretion in the mind of a teen does it lay in a bottle or young love? But if it was never meant to be?
