Stephen’s comments from the Class of 2015 group.

Good review Abraham. I don't remember ever reading the book, but it does sound interesting. Your review made me want to read it again.

Your book review sounds really interesting, it makes me want to read it. As both books had a passion for soccer, did you think there were other books like those you mentioned? Good job overall.

The book I read was "The Absolutely True diary of a Part-Time Indian." It is about a boy who leaves his hometown school for a new school in a white neighborhood in search of a better education. I would recommend this book to a friend, as it is interesting yet funny while relative at the same time. As it does involve some inappropriate content, I would recommend it to anyone 10 years old and over. The book has won the "National Book Award for Young People's Literature" In conclusion, it is great book and it promotes good topics.

Wow, the book sounds amazing Oscar! The determination that was put in must have been harp to consistently show. It sounds very interesting, good job.

This book sounds very interesting now, it makes me want to read it myself. Good job Ashley!

If your family forced you to go on a road trip with them, how would your react? A great book by Jeff Kinney, "The Long Haul" is a book in the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series. It is filled with humor and suspense, as it is one of the greatest books in the series. “But the thing I’m finding out is some people don’t really appreciate it when you’r trying to be helpful.”-Greg Heffley, it shows almost just how self-centered Greg is. He talks about how he always makes bad decisions, when in reality he really does. I would recommend this book to a friend, as it is best for anyone who can read or older. In conclusion, it is a great book, where Greg's conceded decisions all have their funny consequences.

The review really makes the book sound very interesting. The summary makes interested in reading the book. Good review !

Your review sounds very interesting. Great summary, this would make me want to read the book. Overall a good review, good job.

“Even the most primitive societies have an innate respect for the insane.” Rumble Fish is a book by S.E. Hinton, about a street thug, named Rusty James, in the country trying to protect his reputation, as well as attempting to keep his life on track. He constantly looks up to his older brother, who seems to have been the person Rusty James has always wanted to be. The book is very interesting, as it has points in the book that seem like a harsh reality. This book has been made into a movie, which has received a golden globe award. I would highly recommend this book to a friend, however I have not watched the movie yet. Due to the fact that there is constant swear words, violence including detailed descriptions of fights with weapons, and constant drug use, (Almost every character smokes, as well as other drugs are mentioned). Because of this, I would say the book is best for people ages 11 or older, as it may be a bit too much for children. Overall this is a great book, I would hope to find one similar to it again.

Wow great book review the book sounds like it would be very fun to read someday. I couldn't imagine myself in the world that the book seems to describe, reading it sounds fun. Great review overall.

This book sounds amazing. I really liked the quotes you included. Great review overall.

"Sometimes you have to fail in order to succeed" We Beat the Streets is an amazing book about three kids who struggled for their success, and made it from poverty to prosperity. Because of the sometimes hard struggles and drug use throughout the book, as well as descriptive details about murders and death, this book would be best for kids 12 years old and older. Unfortunately, this book has won no awards currently, but it is an amazing book. I would recommendWe Beat the Street: How a Friendship Pact Led to SuccessWe Beat the Street: How a Friendship Pact Led to Success this book to a friend for sure. I enjoyed reading the book overall.

Great book review, sounds interesting. I might read it one day.

“You can't expect everyone to have the same dedication as you.” Diary of a Wimpy kid is a book about a boy named Greg Heffley that consistently struggles with himself, as he often contributes to his own problems. Diary of a Wimpy kid has won many awards, as it was a amazing book that interested millions worldwide. This book would be recommended to anyone above the age of six, because some topics and words can be hard to understand. Overall this book was great, as I would recommend it to a friend absolutely.

“If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself.” The Lightning Thief has shown to be one of the best books written by Rick Riordan so far in his career. This book has won one amazing award, being the Hampshire Book Award. I felt this book was one of the best books I have read in a while. The book balances itself out with action, suspense, and even romance. This book would be recommended to all ages, however possibly the fifth grade may be a good age to read it because some words can be hard to comprehend. This book is the first written in a novel, the novel of Percy Jackson's life. Overall this book was amazing and I would happily recommend this to a friend.
