Gentlehands

great story!

Gentlehands was a very good book and a good way to learn about the Holocaust from a teenager's perspective. I really liked this book because I could make a connection with the main character, Buddy, since we are the same age {it was very relatable with my age being the same as the main character's age, Buddy.} Buddy is a 16 year-old who is of middle class and dates an 18 year-old over the summer who is of the higher class. He of course tries to impress her by spending time with his "rich" grandfather, without knowing too much about him. Later on in the story you find out something which turns the whole story around and affects everyone in the story. I understood this story very well and it was easy to read. The end was a little shocking and I wished it had gone on a little longer; but overall it was a very good story.

Gentlehands

Gentlehands is a great book. I just got really into after the first few minutes and I could not put the book down, literally.

Gentlehands

I think Gentle hands is a very good book. It starts out with a boy named Buddy Boyle who falls in love with a girl named Skye Pennington. Buddys parents don't agree with what he is doing because they feel that skye is out of Buddys league. Skye owns a big summer home. Buddys parents start to get worried when Buddy is spending more time with Skye and is starting to neglect his brother. To impress Skye, Buddy takes her out to her Grandfathers that buddy hasn't seen since he was little. Buddy spends many days out with his grandfather and he grows to like him. Buddy still likes him after a deep dark secret about him is revealed. Buddy supports his grandfather all the way through and it turns into who he trusts more, his parents or his grandfather.

Gentlehands

In the book Gentlehands there is a boy named Buddy Boyle, and a girl named Skye Pennington. Now Buddy comes from a poor family and Skye is from a big wealthy family!! She comes every summer to her house is Seaville! Buddy's parents disapprove of Skye becuase she is so wealthy, but Buddy disregaurds them! Buddy also comes very close to his Grandfater Trenker. His mother doesn't like her father becuase her mother said a lot of bad things about him! In the end a dectective accuses Buddy's grandfather of being a Nazi that played Opera music while he tourted Jews. If you want to find out if he gets accused then you will have to read the book! I hope you enjoy it!

what a great book!

this book was great.Buddy and skye have great relationship. WEll what happens when the summer is over or someone is proven guilty well read the book and find out!!!!!

Gentlehands is a masterpiece for young people.

I would recommend this book as it gives young people an insight into the horrors of NAZI Germany. Gentlehands only gives a brief, but deep understanding of how events can always come back to haunt you even years later and how even NAZI officers are human beings! M.E.Kerr is able to give over this introduction by using the relationships of youth to understand the issue of the Holocaust and whilst moving the issue away from basic text book history into a world that is as relevant today, this thought bending booking will shock and amaze. Afterall, if you think that NAZI's walk around with shaved heads, this book will make you think again!

The Best Book I've Ever Read!

I had to read this book for a clas project, and it looked boring but as soon as i read the first couple of pages i got interested in it! This is truly one of the Best books I've ever read!

I loved it!

I really liked this book. The ending was totally unpredictable. I think that you should read it if you like sad stories or realistic fiction and such.
