Fire Fighter is at work!!!!!!!

I think that this book has a lot of interesting stories, but it also has it's bad stories I'm still not done with this book I still have a couple of stories left. What I noticed about some stories is that when they end they leave you wondering on what happend after the ending of the story, because it wasn't a good enough ending. I don't seem to like stories like that. For the reason that If I read a story I expect to get the whole information and all the details and not to leave anything behind because I like my story with a true ending.

Another Good Review

The book _Leaving Home_ is a good book; many people who are discouraged about reading in my opinion would enjoy this book. The main reasons why this book is so good is the book _Leaving Home_ is made up of many short stories, so that if you are a person who picks up a book, and judges it by the cover, yes it may looks to be thick, however every ten pages it's a new short story. Thus concluding that if people start reading a chapter, and decide they do not like the story, they can easily skip to the next chapter with out worrying, about now not know what is going on in the story. The next best thing about this book would be the book is easy to understand, but if you want to find great meaning there are many possibilities. Many of the short stories in the book have very interesting meaning, as you read them from what I have found, usually you can relate, someone in your life who you know is either going through the same thing, or has gone through the same as the characters in the short stories.

The story was real interesting. It remind me of how alot of children grow up and want to move out of their parents home, make their lives better than what their parents lives were. To read that story made me realize how our parents feel when we want to leave and become adults. When they know were not ready for that big move. Every story was about leaving home and becoming a better person or going on trips to meet someone.Thats what life is all about, leaving home and going into the real world to meet people and to see what the real world islike when your not under that protection of your parents or guardians.

I really liked this book because this book is diferrent of others. This book contains stories that I really enjoyed for example Dance is one of my favorites stories because I learned that we all can be an adult or a child. I like this book because is a book all family can read.
