Forever... by Judy Bloom is a great book! But it isn't really for 5th graders. There are a ton of innapropriate scenes but the rest of the book is fantastic. This book is about a girl who's friends invite her to a party. She meets a boy there named Michael and it's like love at first sight. They soon be come boyfriend and girlfriend and do everything together. My reason for thinking that it's so good is it's really easy to get soaked up in the book. I picked up the book, sat on my couch, and read it for an hour straight through, I had 30 pages left but I made myself save some because I didn't want to stop reading it! This book is in the realistic fiction catergory and the main characters in it are 17 or 18. This book gets me soaked up because you really feel like your part of the story. Also, if you wan't to read this book, it's a good idea to ask your parents permission first. I give this book a 10+
What can you say about this book to help us understand why it is so fantastic, without giving it away, of course!
ReplyDeleteThe romance in it isn't trashy at all. It paints a really good picture in your head, and whenever I would read it, I would feel like I was part of the story because I got so caught up in it.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it a 10+?
ReplyDeletebecause of what I just said
ReplyDeleteI think that your blog is really well done and I think that I'd really want to read that book.
ReplyDeleteHowever, about the "inapropreate parts" I don't know if it will be okay for me.
Well, you could talk to your parents first about reading it. I read it because my sister said there was only 1 innapropriate part in it, but there turned out to be about 5 every chapter! Again, it doesn't take away from the story at all. Also Ben, if your planning on trying to read it, you can skip the innapropriate parts. Because they don't really help the story all the much at the end.
ReplyDeleteClem it seems that you are always the one reading books that aren't for fifth grade and end up loving them. I relies that there are the inappropriate parts but what makes you like all the stuff that shouldn't be read?
