Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
Talk About a Family by Eliose Greenfeild was a good book, but not one of my favorites because it was too sad. When Genny's parents split up she feels really upset. When the characters are sad it makes me feel sad. I also didn't like this book because there was no action. Action makes the reader want to read the book and keeps them interested. The only reason I liked this book, was because the characters and the book were so realistic. I would recommend this book to third and fourth graders who like realistic stories. I would not recommend this book to a person who is going through the same family situation as Genny, because it might make them feel upset. |
