Book Reviews of Frightful's Mountain
Book Review: Frightfuls Mountain
Summary: 4 Stars
Frightful's Mountain is a great book. The author of the book is Jean Graighead Ceorge. The thing I like best about this book is that it did not leave you hanging at the end. My favorite character is Sam. The book is about a boy that lives in the Catskill Mountains. The boy stole a baby peregrine falcon from its nest and raised it in a hemlock tree then the falcon was taken away. Then Sam's sister frees Frightful from the government people. You have to read the rest of the book to find out what else happens.Book Review: Good... but not as good as the first
Summary: 4 Stars
I really liked this book, but I have to say, it is not as good as the first book. This book is about Frightful becoming a mother, and pretty much most of her life. I liked this book alot, even though I didn't like it as much as the first one.Book Review: My 10 year old nephew loved it!
Summary: 4 Stars

Book Review: Great Story
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is a good follow up of Far Side Of The Mountian. It is about how Sam is worried about Frightful who is getting to atatched to him. He is afriad that he won't migrate and mate. At the same time Sam and his friends are trying to get bird post on the telaphone poles and has a great ending.Book Review: Only worth reading to complete the series...
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a bad, bad book. I read 'My Side of the Mountain' numerous times as a child and throughout the years and never knew there were sequels which I happily raced off to request from my local library. The first book, published in 1959 and we as readers needed to assume that the story takes place at the time of the writing. Yet here in the third book, chronologically only two years after 'My Side', people now have push button phones, automated phone answering systems and cell phones. These anachronisms as well as the horribly stilted dialog (nearly insultingly simple in places and more reminiscent of Grammar School writing class than a world class novelist) ruin this book. I don't know what lead Ms. George to leap the story into the future but, at least in my opinion, it was a poorly thought out choice. 'On the Far Side of the Mountain' was a good if hard to believe sequel to 'My Side of the Mountain' this doesn't even come close to the quality or engaging read of the previous two. As my title says, this is only worth reading to complete the series. On it's own it's a poorly written, completely unbelievable story. I was terribly disappointed.
