Summary: "The Boxes" By: William Sleator
Review: I like this book because the creatures are interesting on how they have a type of lord, and they do what they can to please him. I also like this book because this man leaves these boxes for his nease to hide and don't open them. Even with so much love for her Uncle she chooses to disobey and opens them anyway. This book keeps you guessing on what will hapen next.The best parrt of this book is when the mistirious Uncle Marco comes back to find out what just happened when he was gone.He comes back and the creatures have already built their cities in the basement. Uncle Marco finds out this big developement is trying to buy out the whole town to build a mall, steals the creatures lord because they think it wil make them rich. So Marco's nease and her friend get it back to take it to the creatures in time. One of the most vivid parts of the story is in the begining when Uncle Marco gave Annie the boxes becasue he is a mistiriuos man he alwayshas something to bring home or hide from other people. For a man so mistirious what could be in the boxes? Anthor vivid part would be why Aunt Ruth thinks they are hiding something that she just does not know yet. But does Aunt Ruth ever find it?

Summary: The Boxes
Review: I liked THE BOXES because it had a lot of suspense. This book is about Annie's uncle leaving 2 boxes with her while her uncle goes on a mysterious trip. Her uncle told her not to open the boxes but she couldn't stand not knowing what where in the 2 boxes. Annie tells her friend Henry about the boxes. 1 of the boxes where in the basement and the other box was in her closet. In the box that was in her closet there was a weird creature that they called the clock and it could make slowdowns for the creatures in the basement. Annie, Henry, and the creatures are the only ones that don't get caught in the slowdown but every one else gets caught in the slowdown. I liked this book because it had a lot of action and cliffhangers near the end. I recommend this book to people that like science fiction books. By Justin

Summary: The Boxes
Review: I liked The Boxes because it helps me understand that not obeying your parents can put you in a bad situation. William Sleator is a very good science fiction writer because he has a lot of description and his books easily gets peoples attention. I really didn't like the end because it ended like all of the sudden the end. I recommend this book to people who like books giving life long advice and to people who like science fiction. this book gave me a life long recommendation of always listen to your parents and don't disobey.

Summary: Great writing, interesting concept, unfinished book however!
Review: I really love this author's writing, and have read most of his books. This one was also very well written, and had a great concept and interesting characters. However, it seemed like it was half a book. So many questions and issues are just not resolved. If a sequel does ever get published, maybe in the future the two books could be published as one, and I think then it would be a much more complete feeling read! At least you are left certainly looking forward to more of this story, which is more than you can say for so many books!

Summary: The Boxes
Review: I think the The Boxes was a real interesting book. I liked the way William Sleator used the Greek myth Pandora's Box as sort of a guidline for this story. It was also very dramatic, like when Anne and her friend Henry are running away from the Crutchly Development people. Sleator's discription in The Boxes is imppecable. The way he used Pandora's Box and turned it into something sciene fiction is very intresting, but since science fiction really isn't my deal, I gave it 3 stars. Thuogh The Boxes is a really good book and everything, it's not one of those books that I would like to read over again. The story, overall, was real, nicely done, except the ending, that part was a bit confusing. The "clock" gets pushed into the little creatures "palace" and Uncle Marco, Anne, and Henry go with it. All I want to know is where are they going? What's going to happen? That's ALL I want to know. Anyway, The Boxes was real intresting and I would recomend this book to people who like science fiction and endings you kind of get to make-up.

Summary: Interesting, but good
Review: I thought this book was very interesting. The ending was hard to understand, but that's what sequels are for. and I think the writer should write a sequel to this. It would make it interesting since there is so much more he could describe about the clock or the creatures or Uncle Marco.
