I like this book because it was suspenseful, the book was very emotional, and you felt as though you were right there along with Preston and his family as they got the terrifying news. This is a catchy book and I know you will not want to put it down.

I've loved this book since the first time I read it as a 6th grader. It's a great story about how a boy becomes a young man while dealing with struggles he faces caused by his parents divorce, and his father later murdering his mother.

It's a great story about overcoming life's obstacles, forgiveness, and moving on with your life.

It was a good book for any reader to enjoy and get good insight

The book What daddy did is about a boy who suffers a tragic loss. It tells about how the father shoots and kills the mother. He felt lonely since he had no mother and father was in jail. When his father got back from jail, he finds a new women. Her name is Mandy. Mark really dislikes her he calls her "the man". His little brother, Anthony likes her, but that's because he doesn't know anything. Mark tells him to stop calling her mommy. Because she isn't family yet. He killed the mother after they got into a big fight. If this happened to my parents I would be having a hard time too.

I liked the book What daddy did because, my friend's parents got a divorce. Now I know how she feels. It must have been really hard on her going from one house to the other until her mother died... She didn't go to school for two whole weeks. I felt really sorry for her.

If a was a book reviewer I would give this book four stars. It is amazing to get the exact image of how kids feel. When their parents are separated. I loved this book.

This book bored me to tears. You keep on waiting and waiting until the end. A shocking end but stupid end. I waited for a boring end!
