The overall review of "Freak the Mighty" is pretty good, although it could tell a little bit more about why the content is "awesome". I agree with Jetro when he says the second part is a bit confusing, but other then that the review gives me the information I want.

After reading the review, the book sounds interesting, because the plot sounds unusualand not many details we given about the book, so now i want to find out more. The book doesnt sound very good for me, but i like the idea of it.

I have read about Freak the Mighty before, and I have watch the movie too. After reading your review,i think your review is pretty good. I agree with you that the content is awesome. I also love to plot of the story, Kevin have problem with learning, but he was strong and Freak was crippled, but he was smart. The 2 friends help each other's problem out by one of them being the leg and one being the brain.

The book sounds enteresting, but like Malik, i'm not told much about why the book is "awsome". It sounds like Kevin and Maxwell are the opposite. I agree the third part is the second part is a little confusing. You might want to tell why it was an adventure kind of book. Though it still sounds like a good book.

I read this book in 5th grade and I really liked it. It's a really good book and I cried at the end. Everyone else should read it and learn the message that the author is trying to get across.

This book is blim-blam awesome. We had it read to us by a 5th grade teacher here in ISB and after we were finished with the book, we watched the movie which was almost as good as the book itself. The content and plt in this book are really good an i enjoyed this book quite a lot.

I think the general overview of your review is pretty good and very attractive, especially the first part. However, I was bit confused in the second paragraph, because I couldn't find any explanation about why it is an adventurous fiction.

What really makes me want to read this book is that the review says Freak the Mighty has easy vocabularies. In my case, it usually takes so long time looking up words that I don't know and I always forget the content so it might be the optimum book for me.

After I read this review, I found out this book really interesting to read because I would like to know about some disabled characters, about how they get thourough their problems and understanding that I am a very lucky person.

I enjoyed reading your review because i read this book about a year ago and liked it a lot. I thought the vocabulary and context of the book was easy, but there was a greater meaning to it, which makes the book even better. I enjoyed the authors style of writing and I thought the ending was very good. Also, I liked how the two boys teamed up to make an "invincible" team even thought they were completely different from one another. I encourage everone to read this book also.

I've read this book before and it is definitely a book with deep messages especially for those who really value friendship. The review was very nicely summarized at the beginning but the rest could've been improved. The book has so much more to it, and those things could've been added without spoiling it. Nevertheless, it is a fairly well written review and the book is great.

It was short and clear summary and I liked it! I don't really read the book about friendship, but this book seems to have great content, so I'll try it. I didn't get some of your review, but 'easy vocabulary' is good thing for me. And I want to see what this book can tell me.
