The audience for this book is children and young adults. The main characters in the book are young adults and the twisting and turning of the plot make it interesting for that age

The book having two levels entertains both the mature and younger readers. This is why this book is read in variety of generations. A 4th grade student can enjoy this book, and also a grown up adult will probably enjoy this book by thinking deeply about what this book is really signifying. So, the simpler level of the book introduces the young readers the joy of reading.

She liked the idea of the story but the sentence structure and the vocabulary used made it hard for her to follow sometimes. I found myself stopping to explain what was going on or what a word meant often. This made the process of reading the book unpleasant. If I had been reading this book by myself I would have been able to read it in a couple hours tops but with reading it to her the process ended up stretching out over the course of weeks. She lost interest towards the end and didn’t even want to finish it with me. Granted she is a little younger than the recommended age range but with me reading it to her it shouldn’t have been as difficult for her to understand as it was. I worry that students reading this on their own will not be able to comprehend what is happening and wade through the vocabulary. I know that many of the vocabulary words could be skipped and a student could still comprehend the story but many of the vocabulary words that are more advanced are the words that give the story its fullness and richness. Without understanding those words the characters lose a great deal of their quirk and spunk. It is because of these issues that I don’t think I would recommend this book to students very often. Despite the fact it is only 148 pages I worry that it won’t be a good experience for them. I do think that there are times that this book could be good but not for the average

the book is appropriate for a certain age group. For reasons like; sexual content, violence, offensive

It is written at the reading level of an older preteen or teen; however, adults will enjoy it as well. Some of the content may be too distressing or inappropriate for younger children (physical fighting between Tara and her mother, a teen pregnancy, a visit to a pharmacy to buy condoms). The Afterword by AJ Allen M.D. Ph.D. nicely adds a clinical perspective and provides sources of additional information and support. I would definitely recommend this book to patients and families with OCD. It is also recommended for a broader audience as a "coming of age" novel. From a novelistic standpoint, I felt the author sometimes appears too invested in making a clinical point which makes the novel feel a bit didactic, but overall it is a good

In addition, the ways the Wes’ mothers treated them built their foundation, because Mary, the other Wes’s mother, did not have the perseverance and drive that Joy, the author’s mother, did. Joy did not have the easiest past, from an abusive first husband to losing her second husband. However, she never let anything truly discourage her from making sure she raised her children correctly. Even when things got so out of control that she had to send Wes off to military school, she made sure it was the right decision and took care in making Wes know it was what was best for him, telling him during a phone call ““I love you, and I am proud of you. And, Wes, it’s time to stop running”” (Moore 96). Her authoritative yet caring message she delivered to Wes here clearly shows that she is not just sending him away because she can’t handle him, but rather that she is sacrificing whatever she has to in order to make sure Wes grows to be a respectable man. However, Mary approaches hardships with a much more cynical outlook, such as when Wes was caught with drugs that he intended to sell. “As Mary heard the door slam behind Wes, she sat back down on her bed. She pressed her fingers against her temples and began to massage them. She closed her eyes; her mind raced: Who is to blame for this? Tony, the neighborhood, the school system, Wes’s

Parents are the kid’s first teacher. Through their direct interactions or the example they set as a role models, they highly influence all their kids’ development stages from infancy to adulthood. However, parenting is not an easy duty. It is, actually, challenging and can even be overwhelming for single parenting, especially for those in certain disadvantaged social and economic life conditions, like Joy and Mary, the mother of the two Wes Moore, in the book “The other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates”. Both Joy and Mary were struggling to raise their kids alone in a challenging social environment. Even though the two mothers seem to have many similarities in some ways like their social class and ethnic group, their life conditions, and their

Family is something one can always rely on. This is especially true for families who have little else. They are our pillars of support and the ones we emulate, even when we find out they are not perfect. As seen in “The Other Wes Moore,” The author and Wes’ family life was the biggest difference in their lives. An outsider looking in might believe the fact they were both from fatherless backgrounds, means they grew up the same way, however the male figure they yearned for, was found in two distinct personalities, who they found they could trust.

To start off, a part I did not like about the book was the part about Ove’s dad. I felt as though this complicated the plot a lot and was not necessary to the base of the book. It did not need to be added into the book because it had no effect to my understanding of what was happening in the book. If anything it made me more confused because it went back in time, then it came back to the present and it was confusing what time period we were in at the moment. A good part of the book was when Parvaneh was becoming friends with Ove because he needed to get out of his daily routine. Ove needed someone to shake up the life he had been living for many years. I would not recommend this book to adolescents because the book was confusing at some points and the humor was guided towards the adults. Personally, I would read another book by Fredrik Backman because the book was still very well written. I also could understand the book, for the most part. To continue, this book would be better read by adults because the humor was more guided to that age group. Also, this book is still relevant today because people do not live forever. We have to learn to move on from the bad times just like Ove did. When a loved one dies we feel grief, but like Ove we use the people around us to begin to feel better about what happened to us. In conclusion, this was a good book and I would rate it three out of five

Although this genre is not particularly appealing to me, I can see why some readers, especially reluctant ones, would gravitate towards them. This novel is a coming-of-age-story told from the view of an observer, Rose, as she comes to terms with growing up and family issues. I would say this is for readers eighth grade and up, as there is adult content. Even at that, students would need to decide whether they were ready for this content. Some of this includes swearing, talk about sex, and teen pregnancy. There is also the heavy issue of Rose’s mother’s depression caused by a miscarriage the summer before. The images in this novel are beautifully done and many students could easily relate to the issues in this book. I would not personally add

Another would be what happened to Hook at the end of the story, the author could have left room for another sequel. I think this book is meant to grab attention of anyone from teens to adults, this is because of the foul language and death in the book; however, it would grab almost anyone's attention. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good read, and loves fictional, fantasy, and sci-fi books. I would not, however, recommend it to history lovers who want facts and

I would recommend this book to boys and girls but mainly girls. That are the age ten and older. I would because it's all about a teenage girl named Raina who gets braces and gets made fun of for them and other reasons that you'll find out if you read the

What I really hated was that the whole book she was doing the same thing to herself and suddenly in the last two pages truth was revealed which was shocking. My mind couldn't process it. I kept saying

Anyone who likes reading and can understand it. Maybe someone my age. There are a couple scary parts but the rest is fine. It’s definitely a page turner. The author was able to intertwine the lives of 3 people perfectly. It’s very suspenseful and it keeps you wondering even after the book. The author made the story and characters seem alive and real. It also tells the book in 3 different points of view. Unlike the character Superman, the characters in my book are anti-heroes. They have characteristics like a hero, but also faults. Frederick is a master at building clockworks, but he is also greedy and grabs the clockwork head even though they were trying to escape the museum. These faults cause them to become anti-heroes. They are more relatable and we can experience the same thing they are going through. These antiheroes are a bit more better than the usual ones, which also allows us to look up to them and they persuade us to follow their journey through the

Audience. By using a graphic novel as his means of writing Spiegelman is trying to reach a younger crowd. Since the book is not a typical sunday comic strip, it could appeal to an older range due to its deepness in emotion and the mature themes. I would say however this book is not meant for a younger crowd because the book contains references to suicide, depression , and of course the holocaust.
