This Book was terrible...
Tell me about it
This book was really good I recommend everyone read it in the middle school age. Isn't focused on the hurricane. But tells a lot about the sad destruction
Good book
it was boring
sucks soo bad! half the book i talking about devestaion, i would have ratherd read about canadian cooking
you guys should put your self into the book then maybe it would turn interesting to you guys who doesnt like this book.
read a kids book you will see how it relates to your banters
it was not good
This book was not the best book, ive ever read.... Sorry
Was definatly not the best book i have ever read. very boring
Sucks more than twilaght
im just kidding its a good book
It was interesting but still pretty boring. On a scale of 1 to 10, i'd probably give it a 5 at most. Or else a 3 at least.
Look, I don't care care if you diss twilight, but at least learn to spell it.
THIS BOOK WAS BORING IT NEEDED SOME MORE INTERESTING SENTENCES....... LOL JUST PLAYING ABOUT THE BORING IT WAS ALRIGHT BUT I WAS SEROIUS ABOUT THE INTERESTING SENTENCE
It was okay. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone TRULY wanting to learn all about the flood, though.
so far it is okay but i am getting bored.. i am reading it for school. if it wasn't for that i would have already stoped reading it.
someone plz give me a summary to this book its very boring
I had to read this book 4 school (7th) and if there gona make us read a book at least let it be a good one
ya i hav to read it 4 7th grade to i said the comment above urz someone plz give a summary to this i dont feel like reading it its due tommorow ! any links?
this book was boring -.-
i had no choice to read it, because i had to read it for a summer reading assignment so i waited til the last minute to read this BORINGIST BOOK EVER
this bok sucked!@ i had to read it for school if it wasnt for hat i would deffintly nogt hacve red it!!!!!!!!!!!! soo boringg
boringest book everr
i liked the book sure it was not the best but it was worth reading! an some of yall had to read it for school but if u dont like to read then it may have been harder for yall to read it and like it
I live in Houston and I thought it was really good, to relate to having to evacuate mulitypull times. It's not a book I would have chosen to read, it was my summer reading book for Texas history. Even if you didn't like it you still need to respect it because lots of peoples hard work went into this and especially the amazing writing skills this author had to use figurative launguage it seemed in every sentence.
wow.......i literally fell asleep a few times...and im not prepared 4 my pre-ap reading project for this year....and im gunna fail it!!
im gunna giet kicked out of AP
I Really Enjoyed The Book, Apparently Alot Of Those People Didnt But Maybe Thats Because Its Not For The Mind Spand Of An Immature Child To Read ? Yea Thats Probably It. Act Your Age Kitties
It was pimpin!!!!
This book SUCKS!
It's not for the mind span of anyone! Immature child or developed adult! Nothing even mildly interesting happens throughout the entire book!
it was boring i rather watch my sister sing and she cant even sing and she thinks she is a somprano at my church
book is stupid
the book was really good people who said it was bad screw off becuase i know deep inside that they actully like it.
horrible don't read
UGGGG boring
if you think this is boring, try to write a book about a STORM! if u aren't willing to do the work for pre ap,DON'T SIGN UP FOR IT IN THE FIRST PLACE! Btw, u guys are HORRIBLE SPELLERS!
Its true though. I think it is a great book. If you live on the gulf or east coast, then let it be lesson, because a TC will strike your area. It is a matter of when, not if. If you don't live a hurricane area...then unless you have a interest in weather I wouldnt suggest this book.
Also, if you say who cares about storms, don't call for help when your house floats away with 20+ feet of storm surge. I would suggest preparation. If not, don't expect for FEMA to come and give you anything quickly on a silver platter (*Cough New Orleans*).
this book is ok the first couple chapters are off topic i think she needs to go back and fix it
SO BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
was a terrible book, no description or ""voice"" DO NOT READ
look i know what i like and what i dont like, and this book sucked really bad.
BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING
that book was so useless and stupid
boring boring with a capital B
stunk as
i liked the book and i thought it had alot of thought put into it i mean it is based on a true story so try to relate to it.
Like somebody else said, if school is going to force us to read a book at least make it be a little bit interesting. Please?
book sucks b@llz
I think the book was the BEST book I have ever read in my life. I think anyone who does not like this book, is just too lazy to read the book. If what happened in the book ever happend to you, well you kind of deserve it. PLEASE READ THE BOOK. YOU WILL ENJOY IT VERY MUCH.
this the worst book ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hated it... Too much information on the devastation that I already knew about...
i like the book screw all u other ppl that hated it you ****** are stupid
i want to cry, so much death, so much crying
the first half of the book was very interesting but after that it just gets kind of boring. it was struggling to stay focused while reading but when you are willing to read it, its pretty good. if you are the kind of person who gets distracted easily while reading or like a lot of action during books then i don't recommend this book but if you enjoy reading all kinds of books then definitely read it. and all of the people who hated the book i can see why because obviously you aren't that smart considering you can't spell half the words you wrote(:
horriable. never read it this absolutly 1,000,000 times worst than the worst book you can think of!!
Wow, and i thought shakespeare was boring
Horrible booK!I only rread it because it was a mandatory book for school.. X(
It had a slow start, but it got better.
book was kinda interesting but got really boring. but i had to read it for texas history.... i didnt even finish the book! i just guessed what happened at the end and just looked up a whole bunch of summaries for it.
Honestly, how much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood? I'm during to know!jk lol
this book is terrible.... on the other hand, dose anyone know where to find this book online to read for free, i need to do a book report on it.

Alright now. Im gonna be honest, i absolutely adored this book. I myself live in Texas and have a texas history class that i had to read this book for. In the beginning, i was so narrow minded and instantly thought i was going to /hate/ this book. I admit, the starting was a little slow, but once i got farther, I started to love it ~! Action, Romance, Suspense, and so much more in one book. Now y'all are entitled to your opinions, but please, open your mind before you take these comments to heart. Really read the book. Put yourself in Seth's shoes. I promise, you'll fall in love if you go in with an open mind
~<3 The book nerd
anonymous person number 11 screw you
fuck this book
in my opinion the book was unclear it could have been better but hey she already wrote it
I think the book should gone more in depth about the storm instead of the characters
