Dear Mr. Henshaw

Pathetic Literary Attempt

When I was in fourth grade, I had to read this book for a Gifted and Talented English class I was in and I absolutely hated it. A year ago, I figured i might read it again because it is a small novel and being in eight grade I thought I might enjoy it more. Unfortunately, I didn't. The writing was very basic, as was the story, and possesed no qualities that a good book should. I don't even understand reading this book for school because it promotes no qualities other than hoping for something and then being set up for disappointment. Honestly, if you have any regard for a good book, don't read this one. The story is terrible and you do not have to have a very large vocabulary to read it. Notice how all of the people who gave this book five stars just summarized it? Thats because there are no qualities that anyone could really enjoy.

I think it was very good and they should make another book or a sequel about it.

Honestly and truley (Date Posted: May 9, 2012)

Honestly and truley, i ddnt lke this book when my 5 grade class read it as a group. Then again, my teachers are nazis (not literally) so they prob ruined the experience. It was like a book i would read in 1st grade. I read at a 12 grade level and im going into 6 next year. I DO NOT reccomend

Excellent

A great book for young readers & more than worthy of the Newberry Medal!

Ugh

I read it in fourth grade because we needed it to get into fifth. I hate it.
