The beauty of this book is that although the story is engaging, the characters are so well developed, that I found them to be the best part of the book. While the book is titled The Boy from the Woods, it’s not really about him, but about how things unfold around him. It’s more about the terrible tying times of high school and adolescence and what happens when those who go unpunished for their crimes as a youth grow up to be an adult and view themselves above it all. This is a great book.

This is a most interesting compilation of short stories. Salinger brings his experience with life during war time into his narratives and combines a stark look at emotion and tenderness in a variety of different settings. He likes to look at life experience for the well-to-do, and just a warning, everyone smokes cigarettes here!

This book is about Dory Imagining that she is a pirate.

This book is about a girl that no girls that did not play with her.

I love the the book because in the halloween part it is so when the dad pull a prank.

This chapter is about a girl that wants a toy.

This was a cute book featuring puppy Clifford, Emily and friends. My boys enjoyed discovering the beach along with Clifford and identified with Cliffords feeling through out.

The best part was the plane flight it so so funny!

While I really like Cannell’s books, I did not love this one. This is, however, a perfect example of a false narrator, and the ending is what make the story OK. A married man spies a beautiful woman, also married, across a pool and falls madly in love with her. How far will he go to win her over?

I enjoyed the story and particularly the character development. Although it was a sad story it kept me captivated and I found myself further thinking about the characters and their motivation for what they did or what they wanted.
