Customer Reviews

I'm surprised....

... I, personally loved it. It had an interesting and little used theme, an interesting main character, and I loved the author's choice for a title. Here is the thing with the ending, it isn't a BAD ending conclusion wise, it is more a bad ending to the "quest" that the two main chracters, Zeena and Mark are suppossed to be on, the basic plot point of the book.What happens in the last chapter, to me, is a perfectly fine ending, I liked it. The chapter before that is why this book is really confusing, I couldn't really make heads nor tails of it, and it was an odd way to end the mission, and leaves a lot unanswered. However, this book deals with not only a great historical background of the great city of Pittsburgh, but with many of the racial and ethical issues in our world today.Overall, this is a good book, and I think it is definetly worth your while. While the ending of the quest left me and obviously a lot of others very disapointed. Yet it actually, now that I think about it, kind of leaves it up in the air, for you to imagine, to draw your own conclusion from the symbolism of this book. I still gave it 5 stars, because the over-all book is great, but if you are a person who is real into detailed plots and ending where all the answers are given, you might not be very into this book.

Another Kind of Monday

I loved this book! I stayed up late reading it. I read it for school, but once I picked it up, it was hard to put down. The book was set in Pittsburgh, and that where I live, so it was fun reading about the places I know about. After I read it, then saw only three stars for it, I wanted to send a review, saying its better than that. I strongly recomend reading "Another Kind of Monday".

The best book I read in a long time

I loved this book so much I can not put the book down. I really liked all the history that took place in Pittsburgh. I learnd more about Pitts in this book than I do in my Social Studies class. The intensity in this book was outraging. I think this book is good for young readers.

Awesome! Cannot stay away for one minute!

I got this book and I am only on page 74 and I cannot stop reading it. I love this book because it is a mystery with clues and a purpose. Five star book, definately.

A wonderful novel with characters you become attached to

This is a wonderful novel about two high school students who are on a sort of treasure hunt through literature and Pittsburgh history. The book is entrancing and readers of all ages will love the characters.
