Negative Positive
Title: A mind boggling novel
Review: We started reading this book for our English class in 10th grade. My first thought was "what a stupid title" but when I started reading the novel the title and dedication started to make a little sense. We have to write an essay about the theme "Appearance vs. Reality" tying in with this novel. Henry appears o be a sweet and innecent boy, but the fact that he did start to go through with the distruction of the village is the reality. The same thing goes for Mr. Levine, he appears to be a crazy old man but in reality he has an interesting and horrific past. I thought that the ending could have been a little better but overall this novel about survival, control and rasism has a special meaning to it.
Is the review positive or negative?
