My book review

By the river

by Steven Herrick

Today I’d like to tell you something about the book “By the river“. The book is about a boy called Harry. I think that he’s the person who tells us the story. At first he talks about his house, that isn’t really nice and his dad who doesn’t want to decorate it. And then there are some parts of his life that aren’t longer than three minutes. Together the parts produce a story.

 

I think that this book is very interesting but also difficult to read. It’s not logical all the time but I like it. I didn’t understand everything but I understood the important things. If you like poems than you should read it.

My rating:JJJJ

By the River

by Steven Herrick

Hey, now here I am going to introduce to you the book " BY THE RIVER " by Steven Herrick.

First of all there was a father in a hospital. He couldn't believe it, that his friend slipped on a banana and broke his nuts. Impossible, he said but his friend showed him the converse.  He took a patch of daisies, but he wasn't alone. No, there was me, Uncle Filps, Mum, Dad and the always drunk aunty Nancy. 

Someone, sometimes he had the thought that it would happen to him. Just the thought about it, made him weak. His mood changes were like a storm season. Sometimes he screams and sometimes he shouts.

But everything changed when the hot doctor came in and greeted him. His eyes only focused on her face and they talked and laughed.

Two years later, Harry was born.....

Attention: 
When you read the text below you are probably going to like this book - I'm not showing off!!!!

I think this book is so awesome that I can't even explain how awesome it is :) 

Even if you haven't dealt with same problem before, like the guy who broke his nuts, the book makes it really easy to understand what the characters are going through. I was able to compassion a little bit. ^.^

Whenever I started to read the verse novel, I got so drawn into the book that I could create intensive movies in my head of what was going on and what each of the characters was doing or thinking about. I never got bored, I felt as if I was sitting there with the characters, so smooth was the flow of the poem. If you are ready for an emotional roller coaster (and it does not get you down too much) than read this verse novel. You wouldn't regret it!!

TEEEHHEEEEEEE!

MY BOOK REVIEW

BY THE RIVER

** (my Rating System)                                                      by Steven Herrick

 

In this book there is a boy, who is called Harry, and he tells the readers at first, about his cold town, where he lives with his father in a house, which is smeared in oil. One time, he gets into a fight and it ends with a bloody nose and a swollen lip, but the important thing for him was at this time, that he tried to defend the house. His house.

 

One day, a new girl comes into his class, it was Claire Honey. They become friends and they are sometimes at the big river to swim together.

Another day, he tries to cut a melon, but then the knife slips and cuts the fingers of his father.

At the end Wayne Barlow blabs Keith and Harry to Miss Spencer, so Harry is going to hate him forever.

This book was OK for me, but I think that I wouldn’t read a book like this, again, because these poems are confusing and sometimes I don’t understand the words or the whole story.

I think that this book is for people, who like poems. So read it, if you like poems!
