Book Reviews of Freak The Mighty
Book Review: Excellent- tear-jerking too :(
Summary: 5 Stars
Max and Kevin were complete opposites. Max; "the oversized teen, who had often been labeled as dumb". Kevin or -Freak- rather, had a disease that stopped his outsides from growing, but aloud his insides to grow normally. Kevin was also extremely bright and seemed to have the brain of Einstein. One summer day, Freak moves in down the street form Max, and soon they became inseparable friends. With Kevin on Max's shoulder they become "Freak the Mighty". Kevin being the brains, and Max the protection and transportation. Unfortunately however, Max's father who had been in prison for killing his wife was released. He kidnapped Max from the cozy down-under (the basement of his grandparent's house) and was from then on, on the run. Will Max escape from the clutches of his father..."Killer Kane"?
Will Freak's disease end up killing him?
In my opinion, the author's main message was to say how important friendship is. Both Max, and Kevin were loyal friends, and that's how true friends should be. Good friends help each other in times of need, and give each other hope. If I were to rate this book, I would give it 5 stars. This book has the perfect twist of friendship, sadness, hope, and even humor, which gives it a very satisfying plot. If you read this book and enjoy it, I recommend you read Max The Mighty, the sequel to Freak The Mighty, which has the same spark, if not, better, spark.
Book Review: Freak the Mighty
Summary: 5 Stars
Rodman Philbrick has an intrusting way to appeal to young readers. In his book called Freak the Mighty there is an odd relationship between a giant 8th grader who has some kind of learning disability and another genius kid who has a birth defect that leaves him with a six year olds body.
The giant is named Max Kane. He is 13 years old and a horrible past behind him. His father strangled his mother when he was a little boy and he remembers watching his dad doing it. Now he is living with his grandparents, grand and grim, the parents of his mother. Freak is also a 13 year old boy. He has a problem that he was born with. His insides are growing but his outsides are not. Even with that he is still a genius with a really big brain. He lives with his mother, the Fair Gwen. With a freak on the top of the brainless giant's shoulders this was the beginning of the legend "Freak the Mighty".
The two boys have many wonderful adventures, slaying dragons and fighting robbers. But one time they get in a real pickle. It takes the brains of a little mastermind and the help of a tough kid to get them through it. Once the two boys got together no one could stop "Freak the Mighty".
Freak the Mighty a novel Rodman Philbrick created turned a light on in my heart and almost put a in my eye. The tragic way this book ended was very sad but it was still one of the greatest books I have ever read.
Book Review: Freak the Mighty
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was the first book that ever made me cry because it was so sad. Even though it was very sad it was also very funny and interesting. Rodman Philback is such a great author. He did an extremely good job even though it was his first Scholastic book he has written. This book also touched me in a way that made me realized that it doesnt matter how weird you look or are you will find someone that will accept you for who you are.This book is based upon two bwst friends that become one. Max is an extermely big and not very smart kid and his nieghbor Kevin wich is 2 feet tall who is so smart his has his own dictionary. They become bset friends and go through a lot thing together. Max's father breaks out of jail after being put there for killing his wife. Kevin has a seizure he is taken to a hospital for a serious surgery. Kevin and Max went through a lot but together ther came through.
Whenever Kevin got on Max's shoulders they became "Freak The MIghty" and They were invinsible.Max is the big and long legs and Kevin is the brains. they became "Freak The Mighty" when a bully Tony D. chased after them and Kavin got up on Max's shoulders and started to run. Kevin told him were to run to. They ran into the pond and waited until acop passed by and Tony D. and his gang ran away. That is the sotry that touched me form the biggining to end.
Book Review: The Best Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the book Freak The Mighty in my 6th grade reading class. I absolutely adored it. Kids in my classes hated books. But when our teacher would say would you like to read, everyone cheered. Freak The Mighty is a very touching book. I'm not going to give too much away, but I'll tell you a little about this 5-Star story...
Ok, Maxwell Kane lives with his Grim and Gram (his grandparents). Max is incredibly big and looks exactly like his dad (Killer Kane). Max is in L.D (learning disabelity). This doesn't help him with his social life. Down the street the boy who was in Max's preschool class moves in with his beautiful mom "The Fair Gwen". After preschool, nobody saw him. He was known as "Freak". His real name is Kevin. Freak is an 8th grader now who has a disabelity and only looks like he is 4 years old. Max and Freak become best friends and are known as "Freak The Mighty". They go on quests together. Freak is Max's first real friend. When Killer Kane is up for parole, mischief begins. And then the worst part happens. When someone passes away, it seems like all hope is lost. But everything actually is ok. This story if funny, but it makes you really think.
I really enjoyed the book and movie "Freak The Mighty". I hope and think you will too. I'm looking forward to reading "Max The Mighty".

Summary: 5 Stars
The book Freak the Mighty, by Rodman Phillbrick, is about two boys adventures. The names of the two boys are Freak and Max. Freak is short and has yellow hair. Max is tall and he looks like his own dad. At the begining of the book Max was mean ,because he always use to use his fiss to fight, and kids use to tell him "Kiler Kane had a kid who had no brain." He started being nice when Freak came along. Then freak and Max were Freak the Mighty. Then at hte end of the book they are not Freak the Mighty no more, because Freak dies.
