Customer Reviews

Good Book(Farrah Hassan P.1)

When I choose to read this book I thought it was going to be boring, because the cover seemed so dull to me. Then has I started reading, I couldn't stop! The book was so touching and sad, which made me even more attched to it. Also I loved how the Sherryl Jordan used her words by being very discriptive.I've also read one other book of Sherryl Jordan. That book I also judged by the cover. However it turned out to be good. Now if I ever pick up another book by Sherryl Jordan I'll be sure not to judge it by its cover again. Since I found her writting to be very well in both books.

Beautiful...

I remember reading this book for a 8th grade book report and then mourning the fact that I couldn't keep it. It's such a beautifully written novel and despite the fact that it has been years since I read it and I have forgotten much the mood has been remembered well...that of simple pleasures and lost happiness...a time that is not so dark as it first seems. The ending for me was bittersweet and I remember crying and wishing there were a sequel!

this book was so awesome!

I think this book was the best! The ending was such a surprise! Once I picked it up I didn't want to put it down! I think everyone should read this book!

Really COOL

I'm fourteen, I just read this book on one of my many trips to the library. This book left me thinking "wow... cool" I dunno, it was really neat. And another thing! Stupid horn-book and synopsis reviewers! Don't give it away! you aren't supposed to know that, you're supposed to read it first! Fools!

A book that can be read time and time again

This is the story of a young man who gets transported to the time of cave-dwellers. Just when he gets used to this new way of life- and falls in love- he is transported back to his time. The ending is unpredictable. Sherryl definitely poured her heart and soul into this book.
