Rating:  Summary: MOST BORING BOOK EVER Review: Saturnalia is just plain out boring through all of the books I read. I would recommend Saturnalia to no one because it is just boring. I just wanted to throw it into a fire because it was so dull. The reason I didn't like it is because I thought the author could of explained the characters better and it was just not detailed. The plot was stupid and the theme was dumb and the style, setting were just really bad. I repeat never read this book to you or anyone else.
Rating:  Summary: OK, but kind of dull Review: Saturnalia is ok but it was kind of dull. I found my self-falling asleep in most parts, but the only parts I liked was when Malcolm got shut out from all the girls he liked. But mostly, I was bored through the whole book. I don't see how people can read it, but if you like books that have absolutely no action in it then I think you should read it. Why I didn't like it was just the style and how they lived.
Rating:  Summary: Saturnalia Review: Saturnalia takes place in an Colonial town of Boston. There a Narraganset boy lives with an Englishman and his family. He has lived with the English for a very long time, 6 years. Then he suddenly finds his great uncle and begins to learn the way of his native culture. He is tied between his past life and his present life. I like the way it switches the point of view between the characters. I really enjoyed reading this book.
Rating:  Summary: It had its weaknesses Review: Saturnalia was about a boy named william who is a narragansett indian and is a slave. He is trying to find his narragansett brother after his tribe has been killed.Saturnalia was an okay book overall. I wouldnt recomendthis to any one.I thought that the characters were well thoughtout and descriptive, but the ending was really bad and boring.
Rating:  Summary: Okay, not great. Review: Saturnalia was an okay historical fiction novel. The best part of the book was the character. The characters were the best part of the book because each character was well described and different from everyone else. The worst part of the book was the style. All the time you would switch from one person to another and not know what's happening which is what I think brought the story down. It also had a bunch of hard vocabulary words and extremely long sentences. I would recommend this book to adults.
Rating:  Summary: All over not a good book!! Review: Saturnalia was not a good book in my perspective. It had a little bit of humor but not much. It's not that gripping you felt like you could stop reading the book at anytime. It jumped from character to character too much so you would think it be fast moveing but it was really very slow moveing. It was about the Colonial Boston which made it even more unappealing. And so you probably allready know I didn't like this book.
Rating:  Summary: Overall not a good book!! Review: Saturnalia was not the most interesting book in the world. The only thing I liked was the characters. One thing that I really didn't like was the style in which the author wrote because it was confusing and got boring after a while. Taking place in Colonial Boston made it even more unappealing. The book did not have very much action and so that made it unexciting. I still have to say that the characters were good but that is all.
Rating:  Summary: This was an okay book..... Review: Saturnalia wasnt really the type of book i would want to read unless I had to.This year as a class we read Saturnalia.This book is about a apprentice boy named William. The characters in this book we're very discriptive but for the others like plot and style,well i thought it was very slow moving and to dull. Saturnalia was pretty boring in the beggining but when it got to the end where they were trying to figure out all the problems it got to okay. This book is a book where you have to read it in one day to make it interesting because if you stop in one part and another and another it would get very dull and plain.I think all the book SAturnalia needs is a little bit more adventure and a bit more style to make the book come alive with excitement and adventure.
Rating:  Summary: Saturnalia Review: Saturnalia This book is about the Saturnalia, or December 22, the day when the roles of slaves and masters are switched. William, a slave sent to Boston from his indian tribe, is the main character.Throughout the book, he tries to find his long, lost brother and stumbles along two slaves who are in fact members of his tribe. The day of the Saturnalia comes and a shocking event takes place. Will the people find out William's secret? You won't know until you read the book. I found this book interesting even though I don't usually read books like that. It keeps you waiting at the end of every chapter and it's very detailed and explains the characters and their actions well. I would reccommend this book to anyone who likes history because it takes place back in the 1800's. I would also reccommend it to anyone who likes a little mystery because it's kind of mysterious. Some important parts of the story are:William finds the two slaves who were from his tribe, and the Saturnalia comes and slaves and their masters switch places.
