Not Good submitted by glennauerbach on June 25, 2011, 4:09pm I dont like this book. I couldnt get past page 30 because it was so boring. I would not recommend it to anybody.

Not that good submitted by TripleH123 on July 2, 2011, 3:21pm This book was not that good. Most of the book was extreamly boring and it had a strange storyline. Not That Good.

Good reading submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on August 5, 2013, 6:47pm This book is essential reading for children in the United States as it reminds us of our country's prejudices, including racism and religious prejudice that still haunt us today. Kit lives a privileged life before moving to Massachusetts to join her Puritan relatives. As a result of her time there, she learns how wrong it was of her to own and sell slaves back home in Barbados. This opposition to slavery is not historically accurate about the Puritans of the time, although their persecution of Quakers and those whom the Puritans accused of being witches is.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME submitted by iamnotonfire on December 3, 2013, 5:33pm This is an AWESOME book, i would recommend this to everybody who wants a good book. even if the beginning was boring it gets way better just like the Lord of the Rings, people overestimate book POWER.

school submitted by steph10 on July 31, 2014, 3:03pm I had to read two books about early American history, and this was one that I chose. I liked it and would recommend it to anyone who is in the same boat that I was. I am not sure that I would read it outside of school, but it is a classic. Some people may not like it because it's not action packed and adventurous, but this isn't an adventure book it is historical fiction. So if anyone likes realistic fiction this is a book for them.

Good submitted by cinderellariley on August 14, 2014, 2:55pm Had to read for school. strange story
