Summary: A Really Great Story
Review: My class and I read the book the book The Voyage of the Frog and I think it's a great book! I like how Mr. Paulsen used so much emotion to express David, the main character's feelings . When the class was at the beginning of the book whare Davids uncle Owen died the smell would have made me sick too,andas the class started to finish the book,it made me nervous to see what would happen then everythingwas ok!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: BORING
Review: Recently I read the book The Voyage of the Frog. It's about a kid named David. He went out to sea to put his uncle's ashes there, but he got caught in a large storm. Then he almost got smashed into oblivion by an oil tanker. The winds pick up and he lands in Baja, Calafornia. Then some whale research team finds David then he heads home. I loathed this book to the end. I gave this book 1 star. I gave this book 1 star because it was boring, it did not have enough action, and it was not funny.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A DULL Read
Review: Sadly I would rate this book 2 1/2 out of 5. I did not enjoy this book because the author keeps using the same vocabulary in each chapter. Also this was not exciting. Some parts were exciting like the first storm and the whales and sharks. That is why I rated The Voyage of the Frog with 2 1/2 stars The Voyage of the Frog is a story about a forteen year old boy named David Ashpy. Before his Uncle Owen dies, his Uncle had two requests.The first request was to take his boat called the "Frog". The second was to throw his ashes into the sea. David went in the cockpit and dozed off. Suddenly the Frog began to shake hard befor he knew it he was in a storm taking him away from all his friends and family. Lost in the sea, David tries to find food and water for his long journey. Later in his journey he is trapped in many more storms. David meets many creatures of the deep. He finds a shark, dolphins, killer whales and humpback whales. At the end of the book, he finds a ship. The captain of the ship said that his family and friends thought he was dead. While sailing back home he thinks that his journey was over.

Summary: Boooooooring!!!
Review: The book The Voyage of the Frog is about a boy who goes out to sea to scatter his uncle's ashes. Then a storm hits and drives him far out to sea. Then he is becalmed and many things happen to him. First while he is drifting an oil tanker almost collides with him, and then he is attacked by a shark. Finally he is blown down the by the coast and a whale research ship finds him and offers to take him home. He refuses because if he were to go with them he would have to leave the Frog behind. So then he starts to sail home and the book ends. I thought this book had some action but mostly he just sat around on his boat. I also thought the ending was to sudden. I would not recommend this book to anybody because nothing ever happens and he just sits and feels sorry for himself. This book was dull and boring.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Voyage Of The Frog
Review: The Voyage of the Frog is a book about a kid named David. Sadly, his Uncle Owen dies. But, before he dies in the hospital, Owen says he wants David to sail Owen's sailboat called the Frog and dump his ashes in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. As he sails, he runs into storms, animals, deserted islands, and a whole bunch of other trouble.
So if you like adventure stories, this book is definitely for you!...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: At Sea
Review: The Voyage of the Frog is a good book. It was sad at the beginning because Owen died. He gave his boat to David and told him to scatter his ashes on the ocean. David ran into some trouble on the way. It was very scary in the middle of the story when David dislocated his arm and almost ran into an oil tanker. At the end I was glad because David was going home.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very Dull Book!
Review: The Voyage of the Frog is about a 14 year old boy named David Alspeth who got lost at sea trying to fufill his Uncle Owen's last wish, to scatter his ashes on the sea water. David tries to get home while witnessing many tragedies, storms, and obstacles. David has 10 cans of food and very little water. Will he ever make it home?

The Voyage of the Frog is a very dull, and obtuse book. The first three chapters put me to sleep!If you want to write a book write something that would actually be interesting to people, don't bore them to death!The book had no humor whatsoever. I would definately never recommend this book.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: If you don't like the sea, you won't like this!
Review: The Voyage Of The Frog is about a 14-year old boy who is told by his uncle the day he died to take his boat, the Frog out to sea and sprinkle his ashes in the wide, blue ocean. David goes out in the Frog, and sails out where nobody can see him, then gives the sea his beloved Uncle Owen's ashes. When coming back, he encounters storms, and sharks that turn him around, and back out even farther to sea. After being so hungry, he finds land, but realizes there is no sign of civilization. He sails back out hoping to find someone, and runs into a whale research team. Then, he begins the long journey home.

The Voyoge Of The Frog is a two-star book. I thought it was very boring. When there were exciting parts, he almost described them too much. There were also some disgusting chapters. If you are not into the sea, you probably will not enjoy this book, or understand much of it. That is why I rate The Voyage Of The Frog with two stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Greatest Book Ever
Review: The Voyage of the Frog is an exciting book to read. I thought that when David spilled the ashes , I felt the sadness inside me. When David got hit and hurt his head very badly, I could feel the pain inside me.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The Voyage of the Toad
Review: The Voyage of the Frog was about a boy named Divid trying to survive. David dumps his uncle's ashes in the ocean, but while doing this he hits a storm. The storm takes him to the middle of the Pacific Ocean. In between the begining and middle of the storm, David hits his head and gets a concussion. A few nights later, David woke up to a shark bumping the boat. The next week a tanker went by, but does not see him. The wind picks up. He finds land. When he awoke from his sleep there's whale junk on him. Then,atlast some whale watchers find him. At the end David is going to travel home.

This book was a very sluggish book. I think it was a dull book because it had no humor, excitment, or action. David just woke up, drank four cups of water, looked at the ocean, or cleaned, and then went to bed. The action was very little and had no excitement at all. Plus, I didn't like the part about David reading Owen's diary. I would not reccomend this book.
