Wolf Rider

Wolf Rider is a well written book with a lot of suspense and drama. Avi does a nice job of getting the reader's attention in the very beginning of the book, drawing him/her in with a extremely mysterious phone call. Aside from a few confusing parts in the middle and towards the end of the book, Wolf Rider's plot is almost flawless. Avi uses deductive thinking skills and almost unoticable clues to help stregthen the story line and make the novel more interesting. I would recommend Wolf Rider to anybody who really likes to see or read about mysteries unfolding or those who just are interested in critical thinking problems in general.

Wolf Rider

Cody Huntley Middle School 12-6-04 Wolf Rider 0-02-041513-3S AVI What would you do if a guy called and told you that he had killed a girl? What if he also told you where he was and why he did? Andy, the main character, had hung up from the phone with a suspicion that he really killed someone. His dad is a teacher at the near by college. When he had called the police they said that they would take care of it. He figured that the police would have found if he had really killed her. Andy then calls the police and is told that there were no killings and that he probably was a prank caller. He waited a few days and started to get bothered by the fact no one believes him. He then tries to research who this guy was and how he got the number. The weird thing was they had changed numbers 3 days before the call. Andy then finds out that there is a girl with the name the killer had said. I bet your asking if this is really a good book to read, right? Yea, this is probably one of the most interesting stories I have ever read. I am into exciting books where you can't actually predict what happens. This is defiantly a page-turner. The first five pages will make you want to keep on reading. I am a hard person to get my attention because I lose interest fast. It was not that hard to concentrate on the main focus of the story. I think that I made a connect to the main character because he sticks to what he believes in like I do. He knows that nobody will believe so he takes matters into his own hands. I mostly enjoy this genre of books because mysteries are unreliable stories. I enjoyed how AVI wrote the book because of the whole topic of the story. The part when Andy meets the girl with the name the killer mentions pretty much freaks out about him. This book is defiantly not boring but every chapter ends with a cliffhanger because of how Andy solves this mystery. The plot of the book was written by one of the greatest authors of all time.

Wolfrider: A Tale of Terrific Writing

I really thought this book was very good. It is about a boy who got a call from someone who said he killed someone. This starts out the book directly, and there are lots of twists and turns on the way through the book! Just wait until you find out who Zeke (the caller)really is! I definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes suspense in a book.

Highly Reccomended

I think that most of this book is real.It sounds right about the mother dying and real feelings about it.It is a real good book but ther is one downside.Who would react after someone calling and saying I just killed someone on the phone. Would'nt you hang up?Ask your self that question. Would you take that seriously?Then from that it was a very inspiring book.I think that about the parents treating him the way they did was realistic and all.When he went to the police and then he called the school and when he had no record of prank-calls then why would he call the school counsler?I highly recommend this book. It is good.The best and most realistic part is when the parents and friends act.So get this book.

The one thriller that you can read more than once

Maybe I'm extremely weird, but it's been nine years since I bought this book, and I still read it just for fun every once in a while. The characters are great, as well as the plot. What may be this novel's most endearing quality is that it not only shows suspense, but it also accurately portrays the volatile relationship between a father and a teenage son. That's rare in a young adult book. And I'm so tired of reading thrillers about wimpy girls who can't take care of themselves, but this book didn't have that. This book had no trouble keeping my attention.
