Summary: HORRID!!!!/SUCKSEGGS!!!!
Review: "Love Among the Walnuts "-by Jean Ferris- is NOT!!! as funny as it sounds. It's about a boy that was isolated from the city. He lives near a house were ku-koos are supposed to live. The book isn't very good and it's only 220 pages long. I advise you not to read this book unless you love wacky romance. This is a book they probably won't make a movie of.
I disliked the book and it wasn't what I expected. My favorite character was the bad guy named Bart. He was the only silly character along with his brother. The worst part was there was no suspense at all. This book is worth only 1*.

The book is an average book and it's about 220 pages long. I advise you not to read this book unless you like romance. This is a book they probably won't make a movie of. I didn't like the book and it wasn't what I expected. My favourite character was the fat bad guy. He was a total buffoon/loser. The worst part was there was no suspense at all. It is horrible.

Summary: What a great find!
Review: I bought this on the strength of the short description in my list of recommendations, and am I ever glad I did. I don't know when I've enjoyed such a delightful book. The plot is deceptively simple, and, with the exception of a couple of minor characters who are not well-defined, the dramatis personae are engagingly eccentric but poignant. In the end good triumphs over evil and the main character shows growth making for a satisfying conclusion.Since I have a teaching background, I was doubly drawn to this book as I continually found things in it that would make it perfect to use in the classroom. It would make a great readaloud and provide lots of fodder for discussion and literary extensions such as connecting it to a study on books of quotations, or as part of a unit on families.

Summary: A young adult book with no kids in it? It works, though
Review: I can't recall any young adult books with no kids in them, but here is one. And it is a delightful one. The book reminds me of books from the 30s and 40s, for some reason. It's hard to pin down, although it takes place in modern times. There are lessons to be learned here, but no preaching, something that is rare in YA fiction. The characters are lovely and well-portrayed. Thend ending is not surprising, nor is it very unique. It's predictable. But the events in the novel will keep any reader very interested. Will kids like a book with no kids? They'll like this one.

Summary: Loving the Book About the Walnuts
Review: If you have not read "Love Amoung the Walnuts" you definitely must! It is a wonderful book filled with many different emotions. It was certainly a funny book but it had meaning to it. I was never bored when I read this book. It kept me turing the pages the whole way through. I met all the charcters and I felt like I knew them well. I recommend this book for all ages and sexs. It is one of the best books I have read and I'm looking forward to reading more books by Jean Ferris.
