Book Reviews of Bridge to Terabithia
Book Review: Bridge to Magic, Tears and Laughter
Summary: 5 Stars
I only just read (twice) Bridge to Terabithia - a book that many people read as a kid, and I'm nearly thirty. I saw the movie first and then I just had to read it, too. And I'm so glad I did! It's funny how you can relate to a ten year old kid at this age, but also wonderful to realize you can. With all the magic (that is really just a child's imagination) the story is so real it's impossible not to feel you're re-living some parts of your childhood, which I found somehow comforting. The book is beautifully written, and when it all seems so serious you're surprised by a line that will make you laugh out loud. In the middle of the night, in my case.Book Review: Bitter and Depressing
Summary: 1 Stars
I read this book years ago, when I was in the intended age group. It's one of the few books from grade school I remember, because the way I felt about it was so strong. I liked it at first. The plot was touching and interesting.
The problem was the end. It was bitter and depressing, and left me with a more negative worldview. To me this book was about a damaged boy finding someone who could truly understand him and bring light to his life, only to have this happiness savagely torn away from him. It sent the message that even when you find something amazing in life, you can't trust it to last.

Summary: 5 Stars
This story is heart warming and sad at the same time. Jesse Aarons, the main character, lives in a small town near Washington D.C. One day, he met Leslie Baker, his new next-door neighbor. They become the best of friends and created their own magical kingdom named Terabithia. I could hardly put this book down and I finished it in less than a week. I loved this book because it had a great moral about friendship. It made me think a lot and inspired me to write my own book. Bridge To Terabithia is for people age nine and up due to some bad language. I hope you will read it and love it too.Book Review: BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA: Children's Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book with my little brother. I chose it because it is read extensively throughout Australia and England, and studied in many schools. The book is not read so much in the US where oddly, the story takes place. I think it was a great book and forced you to really think and to get inside the head of another person very different from yourself. A different but similar read would be A DAY NO PIGS WOULD DIE (Robert Newton Peck). I highly recommend reading this book. Good for 7th grade through High School.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060734019/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title
