Book Reviews of The Tiger Rising
Book Review: the boook is ful of adventure.
Summary: 3 Stars
The book is okay I guess it could use a little more deatail. And a happier ending like roberts Dad was happy that his son was safe with him having tiger. Instead of the tiger gets shoot in the head and Robert beating his dad with his fist Could use a diffrent name for Beauchamp like Wariior or Cody. but I will have to give that is sort of adventurests and alot beter endind at the very end i mean come that his dad said son there is not a cloud in the sky. I would think that as robert hurried to the forest from school he had a 5 mile walk ahead but knowing that the tiger would be there it only semmed like 4 minutes. But I think that athour could of put more effrot into it most athours write like to 300 pages like a book I have read before it had at least 234 pages. One of Kate dicarmillo has written books with alot more pages.

Book Review: It could be much better!
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought I was almost a fan of Kate DiCamillo. "Stories are light", she once said. But not this one. My eight-year-old daughter and I were so disappointed after we finished this book, it's totally not what we expected; we don't see any light at all.
It looks the author was trying to tell us some things, such as memories, true emotions and animals can't be locked up forever. The message seems profound, but the way it delivered was lack of light. The worst part which I cannot bear is the ending -- the tiger is dead. And all characters don't seem to have a happier life. Nothing interesting. Nothing exciting. Nothing hopeful. I find myself ended up with a heavy heart:-(
Also, there're other issues in the book, such as
. The way to deal with bullies
. Fighting at school
. Communication between parents and kids
I don't recommend this book.
Book Review: The Tiger Rising
Summary: 5 Stars
In the book The Tiger Rising a boy named Rob Horton is just getting adapted to the new changes that has been happening in his life. Rob has been lonely ever since he has moved to a new town and when his mom pasted away. All Rob really wants is a friend or two, but instead he keeps getting bullied.I really liked this book because it was really about his friendship with a girl named Sistine Bailey. When Rob made a friend, Sistine was a good friend because they were always going on adventures and doing other things.
The author of this book wrote it with great detail. There is so much detail that it feels like I am with the characters. That is why detail is important in this book. By having detail it makes the characters come to life.
I recommend this book because it is every thing I said, and more. It has good friendships,adventures, great detail, and much more.

Book Review: A Work of Art
Summary: 5 Stars
The Tiger Rising is an incredible book! I read it to my daughters and we just couldn't stop reading. It is a simple tale about sadness and anger, losing those we love most, finding beauty in simple things and the sublime in everything, and most of all it is about the way that friendship can take you by suprise and become the most important asset you'll ever have.Kate Dicamillo is a superior storyteller. She weaves a web of intricate relationships and presents characters that walk on the outside of the box. She gives us strong girls and gentle boys and makes the "outcast" just as human as any of us. The Tiger Rising (as well as Because of Winn-Dixie, which you must read as well!) are spectacular books for children and adults alike. They speak to us in the language we all understand, emotion. You won't be disappointed by this book!
