Opinion

I think that this book was fantastic. It was really interesting and I loved it. There were lots of things that I liked about the book, the part where Elliot is in the forest and Alexis is trying to stop her from walking because she was going to kill herself, that was interesting. The story was not believable because you don’t hear these kind of things. There wasn’t much that I didn’t like about the book. The story wasn’t predictable because it would be a mystery of what would happen

    She wrote this book so beautifully it opened my eyes, I constantly complain about my parents and how they are so noisy about knowing what is going on in my life. It is better to have noisy parents then irresponsible ones. She used such powerful words that made you want to continue reading. The strengths of this book are that is it an easy read, it makes you grateful and also it opens your eyes and makes you realize that not everyone’s family life is just like yours, some people are raised differently than you are. Even though I really enjoyed this book I did find a few weaknesses, one being that at times it was difficult to read and not because of the wording but because of the content.…

    How did I feel about the book Unlikely Allies? I had lots of difficulty reading the book, from the sudden changes in scenes to the exhausting writing. It felt like a sloppy mess of sudden twists and turns that would, in most books, keep me intrigued, but this did not interest me at all. If the author added just a little bit of flair to the certain parts of the writing then I think I would really enjoy the book. The book had things I didn’t like, a few things I did like, and a couple things I would change.…

    I liked the book because it was about a true story. I also liked it because Jaycee Dugard was brave enough to share her story even though Philip Garrido said not to, which was inspiring. My favorite part of the book was the beginning when Jaycee told about her family and described things her mom had done with her like, watching the moon at night. My least favorite part of the book was when Jaycee was abducted and Philip told Jaycee lies. One example was when Philip told Jaycee he was only one that loved her and if she left, she would have nowhere else to go with her children.…
