The Car

Summary: A great book
Review: This is by far the most enticing book I've ever read. I'm 15 and that book has taught me alot. It has shown me that life isn't all fun and games, and that some things are really serious. Like Terry having his parents walk out on him. That would normally make a kid hit rock bottm. Gary Paulson is a great writer and I wish he would have gone more into this book to make the end alot more fun.

Summary: Great easy read
Review: This is one of my favorite books that i have read and i highly recommend this for any readers. This book tells a story a boy who is first abanoned by his family and then goes on a long journey with some interesting people, who tells interesting stories. The boy first puts together a car on his home then decides to cross the country to visit his uncle in Oregon. on his first night he runs into a man that wants to go with him, and is willing to take care of all the expenses. on there way to oregon they stop at many interesting places and meet some interesting people. They run into one of the mans old friends from war and he takes them on another journey that eventually gets them into to trouble and they must split up and the boy goes off on his journey to Oregon. The stories and the areas that they visit gave me a good backround of some historical places. Once again i highly recommend this book to any high school reader.

Review: this novel doesnt only teach us a way of enjoying life but it shows us a kind of understanding which cannot be explained in a classroom.

Summary: Trucking
Review: Trucking. That's one of the things this book is about. Terry, Waylon, and Wayne, the main characters of this book, use the term "trucking" to describe what they do: travel to learn.

The plot of this book is that, Terry, Waylon, and Wayne go trucking all across the United States. They go to all sorts of cool places. Some are good and some are bad. And they're not just trucking for fun; they're doing it for knowledge. They want to learn more, about people and the world.

I think this book's message is this: Don't do somthing just for fun, do it also to learn. I think this is a good message. Every experience in life is an opportunity to learn more about yourself and the world. Terry, Waylon, and Wayne learn many important lessons about history, money, and friendship.

I loved this book. I couldn't put it down. This is definitely a great book for someone who likes cars and adventure. If anyone asks me for a good book to read, I will tell them about The Car.
