Cousins

Summary: Not the best
Review: Cousins I think was a bit dull and trite. The first five pages talk about puttin' love and kisses into fried chicken. The some old guy comes in who likes to go around without his pants. After patty Ann dies it gets really dull. Cammy lies around in bed moaning and sobbing for months and months. She doesn't even go to school! And the part about Elodie's spirit being possesed and Patt Ann's ghost are a bit muc i think.

Summary: It wasn't very good
Review: I am very sorry to say, that when I got to page 17, I was very bored with the book. It took me forever to read it because my mind kept wondering. I just put it down and started another book. AI couldn't read it any more

Summary: Best for younger readers...
Review: I had to read this book for a college class (Literature for Adolecents) and was less than thrilled by it. I think it is certainly on a very low reading level, while at the same time using stream-of-consiousness techniques that could be confusing for some younger readers. The plot is very predictable and the characters are not very engaging. However, younger readers would probably not see the predictablness in the plot as much (they haven't had as much experience with plots as older readers and so don't know the patterns as well). Also, maybe a younger reader could relate to the story and the characters better. It is written from the point of view of a young girl and the scentence structure and language, as well as the mentality, show it. I don't know. I never read it when I was younger so I can't say that a younger reader would enjoy it, but they would very likely enjoy it more than an adult......

Summary: Sad
Review: This book was good it was sad that the cousin that tried so hard to be accepted was lost forever in the end. I feel this book has a lot to say to young readers in terms of relationships. People are not always going to be around forever so it is best to love them where they are at.
