Book Reviews of Bridge to Terabithia
Book Review: Brian's review
Summary: 5 Stars
really really liked this book, it was great! This was probably the greatest book I have ever read. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 10, that is how good it was.
The main characters in this book are, Jess, Leslie and their dog P.T.. the main theme in this book is Terabithia their imaginary world. Jess thought he was going to be the fastest kid in the fifth grade, which does not happen because the new girl Leslie Burke beat him to the finish. Jess and Leslie ended up being best friends and King and Queen of Terabithia. Jess gave Leslie P.T. for Christmas and P.T. became Prince Terrien.
I think you should read the book before you see the movie because you can understand what is going on better. If you like Katherine Paterson's books you will love this one. I personally think this is the greatest book ever made. Once you get into it a little you are going to be hooked , you will never want to put it down. This is a very sad book, you might even cry.
Book Review: Bridge to Terabithia
Summary: 4 Stars
I have recently read the beautiful novel Bridge to Terabithia. What an amazing children's book. I highly recommend this book for the young adult reader. The two main characters Jess and Leslie form a close friendship with the usual ups and downs of school children. Both children come from different backgrounds but are drawn together. This friendship strenghtens into a beautiful relationship and a closeness between to children you don't often read about these days. Tragedy strikes and young Jess experiences one of the most painful aspects of life and begins his journey into growing up. The subject covered in the story may be heavy for some children so it would be a nice book to read together. Be prepared for tears and have a box of tissues handy. It's a great book for families to discuss some sensitive issues in life.Book Review: Tender story of friendship and loss
Summary: 5 Stars
Jess is a square peg living in rural Virginia where his family and classmates all seem conventional and shallow. Not until he meets Leslie, the new neighbour girl, does he come to realise just how much more world there is out there for an artistic soul such as himself; Leslie (whose writer parents have given up their tv and moved away from the city to give their daughter a better childhood) is an imaginative, precocious girl who shows Jess a fantasy world that changes his life forever.
Most of the story is about their blossoming friendship, but it is the final few chapters, which deal with tragedy and Jess's experience with grief that are so compelling and sensitively written.
This is a true classic for intermediate-aged children.
Book Review: The Magic of Friendship
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read this countless times since the 4th grade, and it still continues to be one of my favorite books ever. The odd thing is that I remember being severely disappointed to learn this was not a fantasy.
But the real story is stronger, that of a deep friendship that affects a young boy for good and bad.
There are so many levels to this book, and thus it becomes clear why these two kids would create a fantasy world for escaping the challenges of the real world. Ironically, it is the time they spend here that allows them to deal with truth and tragedy.
A celebration of friendship, life, and the human spirit, this is probably one of the greatest kids' books out there.
The movie did not do it justice.
Book Review: Bridge to Terabithia Recommmendation
Summary: 5 Stars
Bridge to Teribithia is a great book! It is about friendship. Jesse, the main character lives with his four sisters, momma, and papa. When Leslie moves in next door, Jesse's life was changed. Jesse and Leslie started Teribithia, an imaginary kingdom where they rule as king and queen.At the end of the book, Leslie mysteriously dies, and Jesse feels like his life is over. May Belle, one of his sisters, becomes queen of Teribithia.
This book is truly great. Jesse stuggles with his life every day. That makes the story more exciting. Katherine Paterson wrote a great story. She wrote it with suspensing moments. This book is good for people of all ages.
