Summary: SAVE YOURSELF DON'T READ BEARSTONE
Review: Bearstone is a story about a Indian boy named Cloyd and an old man named Walter. Coyd has no parents and is sent to live with Walter. Walter gives Cloyd a horse, which becomes Cloyd's only real friend. In my opinion Bearstone is not a good book and I don't recommend it. I don't think it has enough action, and it definitely lacks excitement

Summary: Boy's Point of View
Review: Bearstone is about a boy named Cloyd who goes to live with an elderly man named Walter. On one of his adventures he finds the turquoise stone that represent a bear. The bear stone reflected on how he acted throughout the book. For example he cut Walter's peach trees to the middle so they would die slowly.
The first couple of chapters were pretty boring, but keep reading and it will get a lot better. Read Bearstone to find out about Cloyd and Walter's life.

Summary: It was a so-so book
Review: For this book I had some likes and dislikes.The likes were the adventure part.He found a lot of knew things. The boy named Cloyd was a very good,hard worker.I like that in some people.Will Hobbs, the author of Bearstone had a lot of good detail to his acions and characters in this book.The book relates to me in some what way was,for instance, Cloyd can be courious,adventurous, and a very good hard worker. Some of my dislikes are a little bit of swering in the book.Cloyd would through bad mood swings or say he hated Walter.Their was to much runing away in this book.There were some parts in this book I did not under stand.Like when Walter built a fence to keep tresspassers out and walter turns around and lets them in.Or one day Cloyd would be happy and cherful the next day he would be mad and unhappy.I would rate this book three stard because their were some parts I disliked a lot.It was a good book but not the best I had ever read

Summary: I have a bearstone too...
Review: I enjoyed Bearstone and Beardance very much. The stories havegreat characters who have realistic wants, needs and life to dealwith. Cloyd and Walter are both in need of healing and are both doing the best they can. What made these stories stand out is the bearstone. How it is woven through Cloyd's life and those he loves as a symbol of healing and strength. Also how the bearstone is linked through a circle of life and death by how it is first discovered. I loved the atmosphere of these stories and the love of wilderness that permeates them. Good reading. I'm getting them now for my cousin to celebrate his birthday.

Summary: Cool!
Review: I first read this book at the age of 10,and 5 years later I still remember it fondly. Since I'm part Indian myself,Cloyd's(weird name)story appealed to me. Hobbs helped me understand his feelings,his rough life in foster homes,and his temper flare-ups. Cloyd's identification with the powerful bear can inspire other alienated kids to cope with problems this way. I even have a turquoise bearstone like the one in the book(that was one reason I purchased the fetish). Soon,I'll buy the book as well,and the sequel. I highly reccomend this novel,and I reserve that phrase only for especially great books.

Summary: I thought the book was good because it was like real life.
Review: In the book the kid is having trouble in school and many people in real life have this problem and the kid really is homesick and this kid is going through his teen years and is having a lot of trouble with getting along with the old man. Even though I have not finished the book I thought that so far it is pretty good. The reason I gave it four stars is because it was not to good at the begining it just did not catch me.

Summary: The Power Of The Bearstone
Review: This book really put the fact that being alone is not a good idea into perspective. The book did have somewhat of a dramatic plot. It was like a heartrate line, the suspense came and went throughout the book. The characters were beyond realistic. Cloyd had a problem with the red-haired man, just like people have problems with other people in the world. This book also had a real place as the setting which was very neat! The book showed that "If you put your mind to it, you can do anything". This statement is true because Cloyd wanted so badly to climb the Rio Grande and he ..............................WAIT why would I tell you? You'll just have to read it to find out!
