Book Reviews of Johnny Tremain
Book Review: A Fascinating Book
Summary: 5 Stars
In the beginning of Johnny Tremain's life, he burns his right hand silversmithing, so in most of the book he can't really use it anymore except to ride a horse. His friend, Rab, lets him use his horse, Goblin. Goblin is a very rough horse and Johnny learns how to ride him very quickly which is amazing because most excellent horse riders can't even ride him. So even thought he can't be a silversmith anymore, he still is very talented.
In the book, you'll read about many famous people you have probably heard about, like Paul Revere, and other famous things that happened like The Boston Tea Party. You'll see who was a part of the Boston Tea Party and the group of boys that dressed up like Indians and used fake tomahawks to break open the boxes of tea.
The book is very exciting because you get to see what the revolutionary war was like, even if you were just a young boy. I think you'll like this book very much.

Book Review: A Bland American Classic
Summary: 3 Stars
Esther Forbes' Johnny Tremain is a rather bland book. The novel failed to keep me interested. I was simply not compelled to read on. The several minor conflicts throughout the story were not exciting enough to keep the reader on the edge. As an avid reader of historical fiction based on the Revolutionary War, I must say I was very disappointed by the dullness of this American classic.Book Review: A Book Of Knowledge
Summary: 5 Stars
I would say this is one of the greatest history novel i have ever read. It was imformative, yet it was still dramatic and suspensful. A must read book for young adults.Book Review: A Book With a Soul
Summary: 5 Stars
How anyone could rate this book under five stars is a mystery to me! It had a soul--when I read it I was transported back to the 18th century with Johnny and Rab. I could feel the thrill of fighting for such a noble cause as freedom, a new country about to be born... I loved this book! After a terrible accident, Jonathan Lyte Tremain can never do the handiwork required of a silversmith again, so he sets off in search of a new place for himself. He finds it at a printers shop along with adventure and excitement. Johnny uncovers some interesting information of his mysterious past, learns that pride comes before the fall and about friendship, and plays a huge roll in the patriotic movement. I definately recomend this book--after reading it I was tempted to start right over again!
