Book Reviews of Johnny Tremain
Book Review: Over the top- absolutely wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
I strongly disagree when people say this book is, " boring, hard to read, ( it sucks) ". This book is about a despisable character who is degraded to nothing by a hand accident suffering him to complete rejection from society. Then he finds work and brings his life back to shape.
When I read a couple reviews that said this book was slow moving, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It's not slow moving... it's called a story! Not every book has to be like a reality TV show or action movies. Johnny Tremain is a book I'd recommend to anyone for it's wonderful story as well as meaning.
I wish I could go higher than 5 stars.
Summary of Johnny Tremain
A story filled with danger and excitement, Johnny Tremain tells of the turbulent passionate times in Boston just after the Revolutionary War. Johnny, a young apprentice silversmith, is caught up in a dramatic involvement with James Otis, John Hancock, and John and Samuel Adams in the Boston Tea Party and the Battle of Lexington; and finally, a touching resolution of Johnny's personal life.This story of a tragically injured young silversmith who ends up hip-deep in the American Revolution is inspiring, exciting, and sad. Winner of the prestigious Newbery Award in 1944, Esther Forbes's story has lasted these 50-plus years by including adventure, loss, courage, and history in a wonderfully written, very dramatic package. It's probably not great for little guys but mature 11-year-olds or older will find it a great adventure.
