The book was overall well written and kept me interested. Now I understand how drinking can be a family problem. For Buff and his father it pushed them apart. It made them have fights and arguments that otherwise they might not have had. Things probably wouldn't have turned out the way they did if Mr.Saunders didn't start drinking.

The Boy who Drank to Much, by Shep Greene, was a good book. It was about a teenager named Buff Suanders. He is a very good hockey player who has problems. He deals whith them by drinking. Until drinking becomes his biggest problem. His friends do their best to help him with his problem. In the end Buff gets the help he needs.

This story really had my concentration from the beginning to the end. It had well placed settings which it made it easy to understand and follow along through every detail that was going on. I read this book in my English class. This is a really great book choice; something interesting was happening every chapter. I was so engaged by the book things kept telling me "Don't stop now! The best part is about to start!" This is such an unbelievably well written book, that if any person had the chance to read this book, they would be able to understand the problem that Buff is going through. I would recommend this book to any one that faces a problem with alcohol because they might remember why they started drinking in the first place. They might realize that drinking is not the thing to do to deal with there problems and that it's not worth all the damage they are doing to there bodies, and, with some luck, they will understand that they are destroying there life.

I thought this book was engaging. After a couple of sittings, I had this book done. The basic theme to this book goes along with what you'd expect, alcoholism is a disease which needs to be dealt with. I don't recall all the people's names in the book, however the only people you really need to focus on is Buff and his father.

The whole idea of the book is how alcoholism destroys families and breaks down relationships. It made for a very fast paced book indeed.

If this book had flaws, I didn't pick up on them. The book had me drawn in.

This book realy cougth my atention from beggining to the end. It had very good settings witch it made it easy to understand and follow along through every little detail that was going on. I read this book in my english class and the teacher only gave me 20 minutes to read. Every time i read for those 20 minutes some thing interesting was happening but when the those 20 minutes have expire i did not wanted to stop because i was so into the book that was telling me "Don't stop now the best part is about to beggin." This is just an amazing book, that if a person had the chanse to read this book would be able to understand the problem that Buff is going through. I would recomend this book to any one that may have a problem with drinking because they might remember why they started drinking in the first place. They might relise if drinking is the best thing to do to cope with there problems and if it's worth all the harm they are doing to there bodies and relise they are destroying there life.

The book The Boy Who Drank Too Much is a really awesome book. It is very down to Earth because the events in the story are what happen in everyday life.You get really caught up in the book it is so good. This also teaches you a lesson on why not to drink and how it can hurt you. The book deals with everyday problems for people. This is definitely a book for people who like sports, especially hockey. Reading The Boy Who Drank Too Much might change the way people drink or help athletes to stop drinking. I'm really glad that I read this book; it was fun to read and is a really great book.

this book is a great book to read it is absolutely correct because there is alot of underage drinkers. and some are even alcohalics. and now i know that it can be a family problem, because all you do is have arguements.

I thought that this book was moving because it showed how alcohol can affect people's lives. Buff and his father drank too much, and it practically ruined their lives. The father was always picking on Buff for not doing things that he liked. They would get into fist fights, and Buff would try to solve his problems by drinking. But the drinking didn't solve his problems, it made them worse. It just gave him more problems to deal with. But after reading this book, I will think twice about drinking on a regular basis.

I could not believe how bad this book was. If you think the title is corny, the book tops it easily. Every character in this book and everything they say is a cliche, I didn't care about any of them. Some of the lines are so bad that they almost made me laugh. Such lines as "The sight of Buff peeing in his pants kept bugging me." or "Can an alcoholic sing like that?" The characters know less about alcoholism than a 5'th grader who has been through DARE. At the end of the book when buff gets treatment, it does not say anything about that. But that was done so the authur could get away with knowing nothing about teen alcoholism. The teens in this book a absolute steriotypes, this is an insult to all teenagers. If you are an intelligent person, don't read this book. If you have read as many books or seen as many movies as most people, you will find noting original or interesting. This book deserves zero stars.

The Boy Who Drank To Much is a exciting book and it tells how much drinking can effect your life, and other family memebers that you love and care about. Buff gets into drinking with is father, and his father is an alcoholic and if his father doesnt get what he wants he starts to yell. Because of this Buff and his father would fight all the time. Drinking can effect what you do, and what you say to others. I suggest that everyone should think on what can happen to them, if they become an alcoholic or if someone they know is an alcoholic.
