4.0 out of 5 stars At first......Anything But This Book, July 28, 2004

This review is from: Anything for a Friend (Hardcover)

I read this book a coulpe of months ago.Honestly, at first I thought it was so boring , slow and drawn out. If I was an impatient person I would have quit this book.I waited to see if it will get better......It sure did! It's a very great book. You might not think so at first,but just wait it will really good.I gave it four stars for it being so drawn out at first. the book is basically about a girl with a weird name, wallis. she moves to diffrent school very often.When you're reading it focuses on only one school.this time she tries not to make the ugly mistakes she made at other school , leaving her with no friends. In my opinion this book is worth reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars At first ....anything but this book., July 27, 2004

This review is from: Anything for a Friend (Paperback)

I read this book when I was in the sixth grade.Itis a very good book.I loved the character wallis.I understood her......but this book at first was soooooo boring that if I have no patience I would have put it down.Yes, it starts out too slow and I was yearning for it to get more better...It did! If I could describe this book in a few words that would be : It's worth the wait.Anyway the book is about this girl with a weird name who move from different homes alot.But it don't take place in all the school she attends. This one she's ready not to make any mistake she made at her other school leaving her with no friends.I'm afraid I'm giving away too much so I'll stop here.yes, I do reccomend it to you.Ellen Conford really capture my interest in this one!

When I read this book,I thought it was boring. But then when I got in the middle of the book it was great. I had experienced so much things in this book about being a friend. Having a true friend! This book was a great deal for me. Wallis, was girl who had meant stuffy the boy who was in the neighborhood. Stuffy was clever boy about making all those things he wanted to do. I enjoyed the book very much!
