The Glory Field

Rating:
Summary: A somewhat mediocre read...
Review: Well...this book is not exactly what I would call exciting. It's one of those books that your teacher assigns you and you HAVE to read it whether you like it or not. I think the book would have been better had I not been forced to read it. The plot is good for, oh, the first two generations and then it gets old. Know what I mean? If you are a teacher and are trying to teach your students something about family traditions and the difference between one generation and the next, then give them this book. But I am warning you (and this is a heartfelt response from an eighth grade English student!) be prepared for quite a bit of grumbling about this novel.

Summary: Great book.
Review: When I picked up the book, I groaned as, since it was a school assignment, it was probably uninteresting. Halfway through Lizzie's story, I couldn't put the book down. Now, in the last section, I wish it could go on. Starting with the escape of Lizzie, it only got better. A must read for ANYONE.
