Summary: "The Best Book I Ever Read"
Review: " I think this book is great! If you read a chapter of it you'll have to keep reading because this is a pageturner and this is the best book I ever read. I think everyone my age (10) should read this book because it's so exiting and interesting and Tony (the main character) is a good artist and I like to draw also so I chose this book not knowing that I would finish it so quickly. I loved this book!"

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Glass Cafe by Gary Paulsen
Review: This book is a quick-read that is packed full of interesting and thought-provoking situations. The author's wit and unique style of writing pulls the reader into the story, while keeping interested in finding out what happens to the characters.

The "stream of consciousness" writing style presents some challenges that can initially confuse the reader. Gary Paulsen fans will have a difficult time recognizing his style of writing from this text.

The book left us wanting to know more details about what happened to the characters possibly from a different character perspective.

Overall, a good choice for a read-aloud, independent reading or novel study.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: What happens next..........
Review: This book was not the best that Gary Paulsen has done. He just went through the book to fast. The end was a kind of dissapointment because it just stoped..."grabbed the mace from her purse and started shooting, but got the lawer instead of Al...then the court room really exploded." The End. I would have liked to know how the court room exploded, did the lawer sue, what happened with Al and Tony. Did they stay, did they leave, what happend. In the epiloge all we learned is that they got money out of court and that his friend wants to patend new rollerblades. I would have liked it better if we had I learned more.
