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.
