Memory Jug

Rating:
Summary: Memory Jug, it's too descriptive and uninteresting.
Review: I read Memory Jug by Patricia Martin and i gave it two stars. I rated it two stars because the plot was pretty weak. The story dragged and was very uninteresting. The author went into way too much detail on describing small things. She spent about five pages describing the christmas tree in the story and only one on something more interesting like the memory jug itself. The characters were pretty believable because they did things like playing in the snow, going sledding, and they showed sadness.

Summary: Book that's Worth a Read.
Review: This book was one that I will recomend to girls ages 9-13. This is a great book for anyone who has delt with the loss of someone that they've lost. After her father dying, Mack's (main character) little sister stops talking. Once their constantly moving small family settles down for awhile, things start to change for Mack and her family. Her mom gets a new boyfriend, which makes Mack extreamly uncomfortable, and someone having an unwanted crush on Mack also makes her feel quite umcomfortable as well.
This book was a great read, and as the other reviewer said before me: It is not extreamly boring!! It is an interesting and great book to read, and I liked it because I could really relate to Mack. This is one that I would highly reccomend!!!!!!
