“i saw the movie and it had a sad ending.does the book also hv a sad ending?”
“Should I read this book?????????????”
“For our next read aloud I want us to read "The Fire Within." I want us to read this book because this book has lots of mysteries to solve a long the way and the author is very good at starting chapters with very talented sentences. There is also how this book uses lots of diaologe in every chapter. Lastly, this author makes every chapter end with a strong ending.I am looking forward for having this book as a read aloud book!”
“Loved the book! Hated the movie. Completely defeated the point of the story. Winnie is meant to be 10, and in the movie she seems much older... doesnt really make sense =]”
“I liked this because it was a love story. My favorite part of the book is where they are by the river and she looks really pretty. I would recommend this to my peers but only the ones who like love storys, most likely girls. I would give this 4 stars.”
“it was really good”
“I REALLY LOVED THE BOOK! I think it was the first book i've read when i came to the U.S. it's cover actually attracted me. I personaly think that the book is better than the movie, and that is always the case with the book that you like. Books is a way of words, that stir up your imagination, and you see the characters in your head, and the scenery with your own imagination, and i think the movie ruins a lot of it.”
“I didn't really like this book. I had to read it for school and that might have been why. I like the movie though...”
“A very sad, interesting book. You fall in love with the characters and then experience all their pain first hand... I suggest you read the book and then watch the movie. Very heartfelt book.”
