Book Reviews of Johnny Tremain
Book Review: A Great Book to read
Summary: 5 Stars
I started to read this book & I was like "Where is all of the action?".As the story went on,the plot got better.At first it seemed like Johnny was going to fulfill his wish of being a silversmith,but it took a turn for the worst.One day,while Johnny was working on the sugar basin,he asked Dove for a crucible & Dove handed him a cracked crucible that Mr.Lapham never used,because he wanted to get back @ at Johnny for being soo arrogant.After that,Johnny couldn't fulfil his dream of becoming a master silversmith,so he had to go find work and maybe a new home.He found a new job and a new house to live in at a newspaper shop with his new friend Rab.Book Review: Plain and Simple it's a good book
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book for my class, it actually turned out to be fantastic. I was like oh great a boring historical book, but it is really interesting. It's about Johnny Tremain, a craftsboy who is the best at his craft, but an accident ruins his future as a professional craftsman. Being an indentured servant, he has to leave and find new work. In a plot with twists and turns, Johnny finds himself in the middle of the Revolution. In the book Johnny finds out that friends are the most important thing and finds love where he never thought it existed. A very good story with a big surprise and adventure filled plot to a bitter-sweet ending.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.
