Book Reviews of Learning Tree
Book Review: A Great Learning experience
Summary: 4 Stars
This story was very interesting to me because it is something that could happen in life today. Two young people could fall in love, and then a girl could get raped, and a young boy could become out of control and want to kill people. I liked this story because it had humor, sadness, angriness and basically all the emotions that really can make a novel come together. At some points in the story, I never wanted to put the book down becuase there was alot of action. Some parts of the book were really sad, how people died, and how the poeple were so mean to everyone else. I think Gordan Parks book was very well written.Book Review: Book received but "Express Shipment" didn't work
Summary: 3 Stars
The book was ordered for an English assignment. Express shipment was chosen but the book was not received until 9 days later. That's the same shipping window as Standard shipment but I paid for sooner delivery. When I contacted customer support, no reply was made to explain or assist with the shipping delays.Book Review: Dragon Quest

Summary: 2 Stars
Anyone else read Black Boy? It's quite obvious that Gordon Parks did, seeing as how he even stoops to taking plot points from the much better book by Richard Wright. Read Black Boy instead, it is much more insightful, well written and powerful, still dealing with the same issues.
