Summary: I loved this hysterical adventure of teenage romance
Review: A fun book by a great author! I had the opportunity to hear Sid Hite speak a year ago and I was absolutely enthralled by his humble attitude and obvious love for the English language. His vocabulary is precise and educational in and of itself. I used this novel as a read aloud with 9th graders and the feelings were mixed, but I think they all would have enjoyed the book if they had read it silently and finished in larger chunks than my method allowed.

Summary: Jenson's Review of Cecil in Space
Review: Cecil In Space is the average story about a 17 years old named Cecil discovering himself. He lives in the small town of Bricksburg, Virginia, and we get a good understanding of his life. This book is pretty typical a mediocre story.
At times I felt Hite was trying just to hard to appeal to a young audience. The results are boring scripture and over the top narrative that seems to turn off many young women. The only thing I liked about this story was Cecil's Aunt June. She's a very lively character who lives in a mental institution.
Overall, this book is just...ok. It feels rushed and incomplete. I don't recommend this book for anyone, but people desperate for a quick book report might want to check this out. They should probably be mature young readers ages 12-15 due to mild language and sexual inuendo.

Summary: You Won't forget it
Review: I read this book about a year ago and I still remember many details about it. Cecil is a nice guy that's shy around girls. The small town setting is great. Read it and you won't regret it.

Summary: OuT oF tHiS WoRlD....
Review: I say this because, I thought that this book was full of pure entertainment. I found that there were many similarities and differences that I had with Cecil (main character). The way he looked out on his life, where he lives, and how he described it is just like me. Cecil used a plentiful amount of sarcasism,humour,and range of vocabulary. I definetly recommend you people out there to read this... you will not regret it if you like crazy and outrageous kind of writing.

Summary: Jenson's Review of Cecil in Space
Review: In a detached, sometimes bitter, but rarely boring narrative Cecil gives us a tour of his teenage life in his podunk town life in Bricksburg,(the eerie coincidence to Williamsburg is rather humorous)VA. The big mystery is who defaced the town historic sign, but Cecil is trying to understand his world. His insane aunt thinks he is an astronaut, his friend Isaac is an eccentric painter and Isabel brings Cecil the truth in a kiss. Cecil's thought and words are a treat!

Summary: Overall, a really good book.
Review: This book was very good, and I liked it because it was one of those books you couldnt put down, and when I started reading it I ended up staying up til 2 AM that night to finish it. I read the whole thing in one day. Some parts were a little strange, but I thought it was a great book. The author could have used some better descriptions. But I love it.
