Summary: interesting and fun
Review: Slave Day was the thrird book that I have read by Thomas, the first was Rats Saw God. I must say that the second two books could never compare to the first. Even still I really enjoyed this book. I absoultly loved the eight first person narritives, it helped with speeding up character devolopment. It also let in many sup-plots which are just as interesting as the main one. Another thing I liked was that the two books, Slave Day and Doing Time, both took place at the same high school during the same year. I would strongly suggest this book to any one who likes realistic ficton with a lot of teenage humor.

Summary: A great book for any high school student!
Review: Slave Day, although not a very complex and challenging read, has almost all the crucial issues of any high school. It not only describes just about any student personality imaginable, but it shows how all these different people interact with one another. When I finished reading the book, I couldn't get the ending out of my mind, which, I believe, is a major ingredient for a great book. Even if this book is an assigned read for a class, it's worth the time it takes to read. It reads up extremely quickly; so it's not very time consuming. But however long it takes you to read it, I would say that it's well worth it!

Summary: Slave Day
Review: The book Slave Day By Rob Thomas is very unique. Most books are narrated by one character. However eight students a jock, his girlfriend a couple of jokesters and one strict history teacher narrate this book.All of the characters either work or attend Robert E. Lee high school in southern Texas. I really liked the fact that there was more than one narrator. Each year the school holds an event called "Slave Day". At the beginning of each "slave day" and assembly is held. During this assembly student council members are "auctioned" off. These "slaves" must spend the entire day with the person who bids the highest for them. The "slaves" must also obey their "masters". Many "masters" have their slaves carry their books and announce them when they enter a room. However some "masters" are a little more creative. I thought this book did a good job displaying modern ideas of racism but didn't totally focus on this issue. I wouldn't recommend this book for anyone under twelve because it does have some sexually material. By the end of the book many characters have changed. Whether they have changed for the better or the worst you'll have to read the book yourself.

Summary: Slave Day ala "American Graffiti" honest, smart, very funny.
Review: The pacing of "Slave Day" never lets up as the story unfolds from the points of view of a wide spectrum of characters, each with a voice that rings funny and true. Nobody's perfect, nobody's all bad. All are flawed but changing as each takes a risk on slave day, pushing the envelope of their lives a little further with surprising results. The risks taken are not as extreme as in TURTLE DIARIES nor do we see the changes all occur in that day, but, by the time the day comes to a close, we can predict that no one's life will be quite the same. This is a great read for high school students from any clique, non-clique, or ethnicity, for any teacher, or for anyone else wanting to hear contemporary voices to snap you awake. I loved it.

Summary: Slave Day
Review: This was a good book by Rob Thomas. It had good plot creitblty with many charcters. The aspect I enjoyed the most about this book is how Rob Thomas was able to make deveolp each one of his charcters. From Keene who did not like the whole idea of Slave Day to Shawn who was one of the more popluar kids in school had a bright future and ended up being the slave to reverend Keene as he has called him. This book mixed comedy with some powerful messages. Even though you can tell some of it was suppose to be powerful and real I did not feel it. I would of liked oit better if he could of made it a little more serious at times. He trys to make the charcters seem realstic and have how real high school stundets may react to slave day. He does a pretty good job in getting that across. It has one major story but many litle stories connect in make it a good book. All and All it was a good book.

Summary: This was a good, realistic book.
Review: Upon reading this book, i have come to the conclusion that this is the first book i have ever read, that even remotly sounds like the things that go through my mind. I am a normal teenager, (I like to think) and most books I have read sound like the perfect characters that authors try to portray. But the kids in this book almost came to life for me, and they had real thoughts and emotions. They did real things that most kids would do. Because of this, I was able to relate to the characters in this book better that I have ever been able to with any other book I have read. I compared the situations that they were in to what I would do. I compared how they handled situations to how I would handle them. Also I got the best of all the worlds. I got the rich "princess" type, the human rights person, the preppy boy, the crappy teacher, all the different types of people were there, so it gave the reader a wide spread of everything.
