Summary: A ok kind of book
Review: I rate this 4 stars because this book was about army that was sorta boring but there is sad things in the book. But it is a very good book otherwise. If you read it you'll think it is an awesome.Also you might cry from a lot of people dieing but the hessaians die.And in the beging of the book there's a death.And you'll love the way avi describs alot of the words and every thing you read you can see every little tiny detail in your head even when the people die in this book but also there are no chapters only time differs BY:Renee

Summary: The Fighting Ground
Review: I liked how Avi used such good description and detail. I really liked when Jonathan found the little boy and was trying to communicate with him and couldn't figure out why he wouldn't talk. This book was great!

Rating:
Summary: Holes
Review: Holes was a really good Realistic Fiction book. I give it ***** because it's one of those books that you intensely get into and you read and read and don't stop until you're done. It tells you about a boy who is leading the most miserable life you can think of. He is sent to a juvenille camp in the middle of nowhere and is forced to dig holes everyday. It makes you think about and appreciate the benifits of everyday life. It helped me to realize that your life could get worse. That is why I recommend Holes as a terrific read.

Summary: My Opinion
Review: Jonathan is a 13 year-old boy who wants to join the Revolutionary War. His father will not let him but one day he found his chance and toke it. He realized that he should of listened to his father and stayed home for he would learn a lesson of a life time. The book it's self had a good plot but the fact that the book was over within 24 hours made the book seem long, dull, and confusing. How? In some chapters alot more happened then in other chapters. This book would have been good only if it spaced out the chapters and made the book last a few days or more and not just one

Summary: The Best Book in the world
Review: The Fighting Ground is the story about a boy named Johnothan that wanted to fight in the war. One day he got his chance. But it is not some big boring book about war. It is exciting, touching, and in my opinion, the best book in the world

Summary: READ the book its relly good
Review: It's a really good book! The author is a great writer. The bookwas about a 13 year old boy and who wanted to go to war. So one day hedid! He went without permission! His dad was so worried. The 13 year old boy didn't like it but he knew that it was to late to go back. He didn't know what any of the people and he didn't know what they siad. and the war began. He was so terrified. If I like the fighting ground then you will too. So if you want to read the book the author is Avi Avi.

Summary: unsatisfyed
Review: I agree with the other reviews that said this book was boring. We are reading it in class and I am not very happy w/ this book, especially because I am a huge AVI fan. I'm disapointed and though I recommend a lot of other AVI books, especially Something Upstairs and The Man Who Was Poe, but I sadly do not recommend this book.

Summary: Read This!
Review: This book takes place in 1 and a half to two days long. Jonathon has to run for his life in this book by Avi. Jon doesn't listen to his father when he told him not to go fight against the Germans or he might get killed, but he doesn't listen and he still goes to try to fight. This is a book you can't put down. So buy it!

Summary: Intensly boring!
Review: I am an avid reader of Avi and so when I had to read this book for a class assingment last year i was absolutely thrilled. But, by the rating that I gave this book, you can obviously see that it was a big dissapointment! I was falling asleep through the whole book, even during the part where they go into battle! I was especilly dissapointed because usually Avi's works are very gripping. I recommend that unless you have to read it under the circumstances I had to read it in, don't read this book!

Summary: A great book for children!!!
Review: I have read this book for three years now with my fifth grade students. Every student has loved this book, many said it was the best book they ever read. The book makes war more real to my students by telling the story through the eyes of a child their own age. I feel the book is masterfully written, and contains a strong main character. There is an abundance of profanity used throughout this book.
