This is a great classic.  It shows the struggles and challenges of an old fisherman.  Excellent.  Ryan C.
Rating: *****

I really enjoyed this novel.  It taught me to always keep hope.  McKenzie M.
Rating: ****1/2

It seems like a short story to me because other books are quite longer.  Descriptions make you feel like you're there and experiencing it.  A good tale on how something can be the most important ting to one person, and seem stupid to another.  Kara C.

I thought this was boring.  It was really slow.  It had a few good parts but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.  Bekah B.

This book has good imagery but it is kind of slow.  It stays pretty interesting.  I recommend this book to people who can stay with slow books.  Marcie D.

This book was very interesting and I thought it was done well.  It was slow at some parts but it stayed interesting.  It gives you a better understanding of the sea.  Even if you aren't interested in the sea or fisherman it is still in interesting book.  Tara H.
