Right now Maniac Magee isn't the best book I have ever read. It confuses me a little because the chapters tell you about all different things without giving you a lot of description. Also I feel like there is not much of a story theme. But I do like that the author gives you a ton of figurative language. I am really picturing the book in my mind. I think in a little while the book's confusion and vivid language will come together and make the book a really good one.

ReplyDeleteI totally agree! I am confused with all the different places and characters. I also wonder about things they talk about like the clump of string.

I agree too!!! The book will get better though I just know it! Besides why would Ms. Stodden like it so much?

A lot of times when a book starts out confusing, it keeps you guessing and wanting to read more. Often the author has to introduce a lot of characters to lay the ground work before the real story starts. You have to enter the world of the book to understand the story. Hang in there! :) Ms. S

I hope Maniac Magee will get better, i'm sure it will if all the 5th grade teachers are reading it to their class it must be pretty good.
