So I cried a little, which was natural, I suppose, for one of my age, and after I was rested I got a basket and started for a place on the extreme rim of the circle, where the stars were close to the ground and I could get them with my hands, which would be better, anyway, because I could gather them tenderly then, and not break them. But it was farther than I thought, and at last I had to give it up; I was so tired I couldn't drag my feet another step; and be- Saturday sides, they were sore and hurt me very much. I couldn't get back home; it was too far, and turning cold; but I found some tigers, and nestled in among them and was most adorably comfortable, and their breath was sweet and pleasant, because they live on strawberries. I had never seen a tiger before, but I knew them in a minute by the stripes. If I could have one of those skins, it would make a lovely gown. To-day I am getting better ideas about distances. I was so eager to get hold of every pretty thing that I giddily grabbed for it, sometimes when it was too far off, and sometimes when it was but six inches away but seemed a foot—alas, with Saturday thorns between! I learned a lesson; also I made an axiom, all out of my own head — my very first one: The scratched Experiment shuns the thorn. I think it is a very good one for one so young. I followed the other Experiment around, yesterday afternoon, at a distance, to see what it might be for, if I could. But I was not able to make out. I think it is a man. I had never seen...

3.0 out of 5 stars Eve's Diary, November 29, 2005

This review is from: Eve's Diary (Paperback)

The reason i give this book 3 stars is because it gives a idea of what they might have thought about and the idea's he thinks they have had interest me. Especially the idea that someone stole the moon i liked that because they dont know anything so they are like little kids. I think thats funny. Grown people acting like kids. Mark really brings out there childness and i think thats cool. The author probably got sidetracked with his kids if he has any when he was writing this book.
One of the chapters that i really liked was the chapter on page 15 when she meats the tiger because i really like tigers and because she go so close and i thought that was very cool. I really think that eve should have been a little smarter in the beginning though. Adamn too because eve was smarter than him. How can you not tell distance? That just baffled me. Well i think the book was okay but could have been alot better and more interesting.
This book was short and is worth a look. I dont know why they are so dumb but it gave the book comedy so i give ir 3 stars out of 5.
