Rating: Summary: you gotta read this Review: this book is the greatest of them all it has all a book needs, and all a kid wants
Rating: Summary: great! Review: This is a wonderful book. It has suspence and it's just a little scary. If you didn't like the ending, don't worry. We had an authorfest at my school last year and William Sleator came. He told us that there *might* be a sequel.
Rating: Summary: Sci-Fi Twister Review: This sci-fi book The Boxes,by William Sleator,is very interesting. If you like sci-fi books with surprising twists you will never put this book down. I recommend this book for young readers and adults alike.
Rating: Summary: A Hit Review: Warning. This book is for Science Fiction lovers only. If your not a sience fiction or fantasy fanatic you probably won't like this book, the whole plot is based on these creatures stopping time. Me myself am a lover of fantasy books. You can still read it , but you might not still get the full potential. Most of the books I've ever read are boring and just nasty, this book I gave four stars because it didn't put me to sleep or make me pound my head on the wall this book just got me hooked I read the book in under a week and a half. I think that this is just a plain book because its all a book needs and all a kid wants.
Rating: Summary: Not Up to Par Review: When I picked out this book, I was expecting a fast- paced, fun to read, sci-fi adventure. While much of the plotline itself was interesting, I found that the book was extremely difficult to get into. The book bored me for the first four chapters until it finally got into the real plot. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book. I felt that it was just, to sum it up, not interesting enough.
Rating: Summary: Great! Review: William Sleator is da bomb in this Sci Fi book, the way he writes keeps the reader interested throughout. read it!
Rating: Summary: A fast-paced, page-turner--take this one to the beach! Review: William Sleator is one of my favorite authors. Although this is not one of his best, I couldn't put it down. Annie is an orphan who is sent to live with her Aunt Ruth--not a very pleasant person. Annie's only bright days are spent with her Uncle Marco, when he returns from his frequent mysterious trips abroad. When Marco entrusts his niece with two mysterious boxes and the warning never to a) open them or b) put them in the same room, Annie's resolve to keep them safe lasts for only one day as her curiousity gets the better of her. Once the boxes are opened, there is no going back. This is not a book to read before you go to sleep! The ending was not as satisfying as his other books; it seems like Sleator left it open for a possible sequel. Well-drawn characters let you step right into the story! When will the movie-makers (e.g. Disney) see that Sleator's books would be great for the screen!!
