Summary: IT WAS A GREAT BOOK
Review: THE BOOK FOCASED ON REAL LIFE PROBLEMS OF THE CIVIL WAR, 4 STARS FROM ME

Summary: A sub-par book with weak imagery and symbols
Review: The symbolic references in this novel are weak and not well developed. The characters were strong and well developed over the course of the story. The backdrop of war was used effectively to portray the personal struggles between Gene and Finny. The war that goes on between these two characters is rooted the war that is taking place in Europe. The war changed these two characters. Finny can be said to have ultimatly died from the war itself. War mentality led Brinker to have mock trial.Finny realizes the true nature of the world. Finny lives in an ideal world and cannot survive in the real world of hate and conflict.

Summary: I am a teenager and I loved this book!!!
Review: This book is a must-read for teenagers, in fact for everyone. I loved this book and thought that it was a very real portrayal of life as an adolecent. Phineas is an amazing character who is very well developed and has a very special quality about him. There were times reading this book that I wished I knew someone like Phineas and that he was my friend. He is the kind of person that almost wills you to bend to his thinking but does it with a skill that makes you feel good about your decision. As the book progresses and Finny and Gene's relationship changes you become enthraled in their feelings and the tragedy that has occured to change that friendship. I recommend the book A Seperate Peace to any teenager who wants to see a truly amazing peer in Phineas.

Summary: Best book I ever read
Review: This book is an absolute work of art. I'm 16 and had to read this book for my english class and loved every minute of it! I spent hours reading at a time. If you want to read the most incredable book ever written, this is the one for you. A Seperate Peace is a more complex novel than it first appears. It makes for good reading taken simply as a story about two boy growing up; but the novel, if read by an attentive, critical, active reader, says much more about life than human condition. I have seen people rate this book very low, obviously they did not pay any attention to what they were reading, and if they had actually sat down and read the book, and try to understand it, they probably would of gotten way much more out of it. Please, if you are going to read this book take note of everything that is happening in the novel, and I can garantee you that you will not be sorry. Personally when something tragic would happen in the story, I felt like throwing that book accross the room because of the fact I was so p.o. But that is what made the book so good, it kept me reading, and eaven though to be honest I don't like to read, this book just kept me reading, and I WANTED to read!!!!

Review: This book kept me going and made me want to read! John Knowles ultimately personified the characters to make them life-like. I felt like I knew what each person was experiencing! I enjoyed it tremendously!

Summary: This book needs help!
Review: This book seemed rather boring, unfactual, and a disgrace to our civil history. War is not a game it is not to be toyed with. Two children can not analize the out come of a war. This book was pathetic. I must say, God help me
Rating:
