Customer Reviews

A good, but short read...

Quake: A novel is a good book. It is set in the late eighties, in California. I really enjoyed it and it shows how much things have changed just since then. I'm a teen and I would say that when I first started reading this book I thought that some of the characters were kind of shallow, but by the end of the book I didn't think that anymore. I really recomend this book!!

CHECK THIS OUT!!!!!!!!!

This book is about two former friends who see each other for the first time in a long time. Their parents are going to the world series together. While they are visiting there is a massive earthquake. What will happen?I liked this book because of the intense description. Another reason is because of the plot of the story. My favorite character was Sydney because he acts just like a little boy should. He likes bllod, guts, and war movies. The best part of the book was when the earthquake hit. The reason is because the author made it very real. It made you feel like it happened to you. The ending is disappointing because I wanted something else to happened.

Relive Loma Prieta '89

This is the best book for all ages to relive the disastrous Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989. As you read this book or any of Cottonwood's novels it easy to bond and relate with the characters. This book makes you feel like you are living out the disaster with the family. A must read!

Quake is a great Book!

This Book is one that keeps you hanging on and waiting until you get to the next page. It is very abnormal for a book to be about a natural disaster and see it from a survivor's point of view. I can now see why it was nominated for the Rebecca Caudill award. So, if you are looking for a good read this is the book for you. Have fun!!

A heart Pumping book for the young readers.

"Suddenly they saw Erics house roll down the hill." What would they do? Franny had to look after her little brother Sidney and had to stay near her ex best friend Jennie, and besides all that they had to try to survive a earthquake without their parents. Will they become all alone and have no parents after the earthquake strikes? Will all three kids survive the earthquake unharmed? Or will the story end in a complete disaster. Quake! is a novel written by Joe Cottonwood and is a very exiting adventure and is a very big must for all children.
