Review: I thought that The Weirdo was really interesting because I will love mysteries and other kinds of stories.

Summary: It would be great for slow readers.
Review: In my opinion the book, The Weirdo, wasn't very exciting due to the fact that it was very slow moving. The reason I quote this is because one thing would happen and then four chapters later something else would finally happen. For example, you would find out that Samantha Sanders, the main character would talk long walks, but you wouldn't find out until later why she took them. Finally, after about the tenth chapter things started to move a little quicker. The book in my opinion on a level of one to ten would receive a five. This book I would recomend to readers who like slow and boring books.

Summary: It ain't Weird
Review: Reading this novel gives you the feeling like you're watching a made-for-tv-movie, which i only find amusing due to that i symphathize with the lead charachter, who's a burned victim and tries to cope with the societies ostracization and concepts about his appearance - as he lives in the swamp with his father, and took the knack to take the job of monitoring the census for the bear population in their area. Though not to the full extent - i find some great relevant and personal similarities with me about the kid in this book (sic). However, the WEIRDO is a fine piece of novel for young adults; teem it up with Ester Weir's juvenile novel "THE LONER" published by Apple books.

Review: The book was well writen, a little slow reading at first but over all pretty good. Even if i was not made to read it i problably would've read it anyways. But if you have a choice what to read, read a book that also has cliff notes too, it helps if you want to fully understand the book.

Review: The Weirdo
I read The Weirdo by Theodore Taylor. The book is about a nine-year-old girl named Samantha Sanders. One day she found a dead body of a man outside by her house. His name was Alvin Howell. Alvin had been found in a ditch of the swamp wearing a blue shirt that stuck out from everything else. The finding of this man would haunt her for the rest of her life.
Six years later she had decided to see Alvin's wife. She was an old lady a while away from the swamp. They talked about Alvin and the reaccuring dreams she had like he was trying to tell her something. He was. Alvin was trying to tell her who killed him. Everyone thought it was the weirdo who lived in the swamp. The weirdo had scars on his face because of a plane crash. Sam met the weirdo before by being saved by him from his roof after getting chased up by the dogs. I t was not him. They were both looking for the same killer and did not know it.
To find out who murdered Alvin and who killed another unfortunate soul you can read the book and find out for yourself. I would recommend this book to someone who likes mysteries starting at grade level 5.

Summary: Confusing but an OK book
Review: The Weirdo
By: Theodore Taylor The book I read was "The Weirdo," by Theodore Taylor. Its about this weirdo that falls in love for the care of bears and wants to extend the ban another 5 years. This is a Fiction book. The time it takes place is somewhere in the 1990`s. It takes place in a dark moist swamp. It also takes place at Sam`s home inside and out, and at the hunters meeting that Sam`s father, the Bo`sun, conjured up. The meeting was to try and convince people that they should kill the bears since they strip and ruin their juicy apple trees and destroy their beautiful yard.
Sam is a brave shy girl who is 16 years old. She had recently met a boy named Chip. They met by Sam yelling she was up on the roof. After she got over the shock of seeing his scarred face all the time, they became very close friends. Chip has been helping a graduate student, Tom Telford, from NC State, keep track of the bears. When he learns there are hardly any more bears left in the community, he decides he wants to try and extend the ban another 5 years before the hunters hunt and kill all the bears left. Then one day when Tom was heading through the swamp to visit his girlfriend, a poacher kidnapped him and supposedly murdered him. Sam thinks there might be a connection between Tom Telford and Alvin Howell. As you can see, Sam and Chip are very important characters in the story.
I think other kids and adults should read "The Weirdo" because it is a pretty good book to read and has a lot of suspense in it. The author put a lot of detail into the book so that we could understand parts of the book we didn't understand, like, he had to know a lot of information about bears and how to capture them in traps. Thats why I think people who like stories with lots of suspense, detail, and emotion should read this book.
My favorite part was towards the end of the book. It was when Sam`s Uncle Jack and Aunt Peaches came back from their vacation and started yelling their heads off at her because of the condition Buck (their dog) was in. That is my favorite part of the book. Thanks for using your time to read this!
