Book Reviews of Tiger (The Five Ancestors, Book 1)
Book Review: The Five Ancestors:Tiger
Summary: 5 Stars
The Five Ancestors is a collection of books about five orphans who live in a monastery and are learning kung fu. This certain book is from the perspective of Fu who is a 12 year old boy who doesn't know his parents because of that he has a fierce attitude. He is living with four other boys that he considers brothers; each kid has a different kung fu style. Fu who is learning tiger kung fu is a very aggressive kid and he has tiger instincts and acts just like a tiger. The monastery he lives at which is known as Cangzhen has hundreds of monks who all are learning from an old Chinese man known as Grandmaster.when Cangzhen is under attack the monks ban together to fight one of there old students, Ying.Ying was one of Fu's friends but decided to leave Cangzhen when his friend died. Ying who was an angry child didn't like Grandmaster or the style of kung fu he was learning. When he comes back to Cangzhen he attacks Grandmaster and the monks because he's driven by revenge.
When Fu and his brothers are hidden they all decide to leave Cangzhen and run to safety. Fu who stays back to help his fellow monks hides in the forest. While hiding he meets monks, goes to another town, meets up with his brother, helps defend a town and experiences tons of crazy stuff. The book is very fast paced and full of adventure. The book kept me reading and was very suspenseful. The book reminds me of the movie "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" because of the action and suspense. I really enjoyed this book and I would definitely recommend it to someone who likes action and suspense. One thing that might get people lost is the fact that each book is from each kid's point of view. Other than that the book was really good and I can't wait to read the next book. I would rate this book as a 5 out of 5.
Summary of Tiger (The Five Ancestors, Book 1)
?Tiger clips along at a lightning pace!??Eoin ColferTwelve-year-old Fu and his temple brothers Malao, Seh, Hok, and Long don?t know who their parents were. Raised from infancy by their grandmaster, they think of their temple as their home and their fellow warrior monks as their family. Then one terrible night, the temple is destroyed by an army led by a former monk named Ying, whose heart is bent on revenge. Fu and his brothers are the only survivors. Charged by their grandmaster to uncover the secrets of their past, the five flee into the countryside and go their separate ways. Somehow, Grandmaster has promised, their pasts are connected to Ying?s. Understanding that the past is the key to shaping the future, the first book in the series follows Fu as he struggles to find out more and prove himself in the process. Fu?s name literally means ?tiger,? for he is the youngest-ever master of the fierce fighting style modeled after that animal.
