Book Review: The Mightiest Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best books I've ever read, which is why I gave it five stars. Freak the Mighty, by Rodman Philbrick, is an extremely entertaining book. It is about two young boys named Freak (kevin is his real name) and Max, who are brought together by an interesting event. After they meet they become good friends and have many adventures together. Freak loves the knights of old, he knows everything about them. On their adventures he pretends that they are knights and slay dragons and save damsels from distress. They have a lot of fun until one day Freak eats some American chop suey too fast and has to go to the hospital. After that their adventures start to slow. Finally in the end, it is so very sad what happens to the two friends. I won't tell the ending, but Freak has a disease that is fatal to his health. This book is so rich in description and excitement and that is what makes it so great. I guess that this book has bit of everything in it, including tons of drama and action and comedy and fun. I'm sure that if you read it you'll love it too!Book Review: The Mighty
Summary: 5 Stars
Freak the Mighty is about two kids who have problems, Max has school problem, and lives with his grandma and grandpa. he can't read. Kevin is the other kid but he is smart really smart but he is like crippled. Kevin bones are growing to fast for him. It is about there averters, and how they become Freak the mighty, and how they tack on a kid named Blade. The biggest problem is Mr. Kane. There is a twist ending to the book as well.
I like this book because it is real to people who have problems like Max's and Kevin's. I'm like Max so I can relate to the book. It relates to people who have disabilities. I also like that there friendship growing and growing, and how the become like one person, how they became Freak the Mighty. Threw the out the book you see there friendship get stronger and stronger. You see how they help each other grow as friends and people and people. In it you can be real, but yet still it is Fic. The ending gets to you if you get in to the book. Max is the one who grows the most in the book
Book Review: Imaginations Everything
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first began reading Freak the Mighty I really wasn't as interested in it as much as I was when I finished. Freak and Max are both two totally different boys with many differences. Freak (Kevin) is a short genius kid while on the other hand Max is a big and tall dumb kid. It doesn't take them very long to realize they can use their differences, combine them and they have something very special. For example: Freak is physically handicapped and can not walk; Max is amazingly larger than Freak and is able to carry Freak on his shoulders. Max is a LD child; Freaks a genius. I would defiantly recommend this book to kids from the ages of 11-13. This book makes a lot of good points for even situations we face all the time. Freak doesn't look at situations as they really are. As you will find out Freaks living in a fantasy world and allows Max to enter it. Freak the Mighty has made an effect on my classmates and me. This book shows great friendship and it also shows how some people really have feeling and a good side to them.Book Review: GREAT LESSON TO BE LEARNED FROM THIS BOOK
Summary: 5 Stars
Kevin (Freak) the dwarf genius, has the vocabulary of a doctorate linguist (this book provides a glossary in the back)and because of this he has no friends. Max, the slow yet man sized boy, is overly protected by his grandparents and is mocked at school for his handicap. Max is a very angry and confused eigth grade boy. One summer Max becomes friends with Kevin (Freak) who has a syndrome which prevents his body from growing properly.
They accept each other as they are and strive to bring out the best in each other. They get themselves involved in several impossible-to-solve adventures and from this learn that the most important things in life are love and companionship.
This story is one of loneliness, anger, sadness, joy, defiance, a willingness not to accept life as is or the limitations placed on oneself by society.
A page-turner, this book should be read by any older child or young adolescent who feels smarter or slower, larger or smaller, different from his/her peers.
