Hated this book, definately a big NOT!!!!

This book is great. It is about a kid that lives with his grandparents and he meets a suspicious girl. When my friend Alex told me this was a great book, I didn't beieve him. It definately was. Talk about being scared, filled with action and excitement all at the same time. I finished it the first day. It is for all ages to enjoy. READ THIS BOOK or else you will be missing out!!!

Great Book!

This book is a great story of the friendship between Max, a kid who is very large for his age and is not too bright, and Rachel, also called "worm" because of her huge interest in reading. The story begins at Max's house, where he lives with his grandma and grandpa, who he calls Gram and Grim. The first couple chapters walk you through a normal day in his life. First, walking to school, trying to avoid hoodlums who live on "the wrong side of the tracks. In his classes, being made fun of for being so big and not being so smart. And lastly, taking the bus, where kids simply annoy and annoy him, even though he could easily beat them up. Then the story turns around and shows you Rachel's horrible home life. Her mom is constantly beaten by her stepfather, a tall, lean man with a heart of stone. When Max realizes this problem, he rescues her and they set off on a long and adventurous journey across the country to find her real dad, who is thought to live in Chivalry, Montana. And this journey has plenty of surprises along the way.I really liked this book because I felt like I could relate to what some of the characters were going through.I would highly recommend this book to any child or adult looking for a great story of friendship and determination. Also could be a good book to read along with your child.

The Best book of all time!!!!

Have you ever read a really exciting book, that when you read it you can't stop turning the page untill the end? Have your eyes ever get wide open when you read an exciting books? Have you ever felt sad when you read a book? That is what I have done on this book! It is such an excellent book to read, I loved it ever since I came to Chapter 2! It so sad though, that the Undertaker was so abusive to her and her mother. I almost cried and I just couldn't put the book down! Read this amazing book!! It is #1 on my list.

Max rises to the Max

The book Max the Mighty was an excellent book. There are awesome characters. There are some new characters like the Undertaker and a girl named Worm and some of the old characters from Freak the Mighty. The only thing missing in Max the Mighty : Freak.... I highly recommend this book to people who have read Freak the Mighty or someone who likes adventure. So read this book and feel the excitement.
