Have you read any of these books?

Question

I'm doing a summer reading assignment. none of the books sound that good, so if you've read any of them, please let me know in a sentence or two if its worth reading. thanks!

the books are:

Annie, Between the States by L.M. Elliot

April Morning by Howard Fast

The Deep Cut by Susan Roson Spain

Dr. Elizabeth by Patricia Clapp

Franklin Delano Roosevelt by Russell Freedman

Freedom Road by Howard Fast

The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

Miss Spitfire: Reaching Helen Keller by Sarah Miller

October Sky by Homer H. Hickam

Uprising by Margaret Peterson Haddix

Answer 1

The Killer angels was excellent. Great historical fiction giving realistic detail into the lives of soldiers and battles of the era.

an overall exciting read!

Answer 2

nope. they sound lame, and im usually good at judging a book by its cover. sorry for the cliché but really, i don`t like those kind of books, and yes i can tell by the title.

Answer 3

October Sky was actually a really good book.

And it wasn't that long.

Answer 4

i've only read "little women"

it was very good

Answer 5

Yea i agree with the first person!!

It is a fantastic book. you'll love it.

Its about these sisters.

It is set in the old fashion days were people wore long dresses.

Answer 6

omg is that sad i've only read one and seen the film adaptation of another?

well i've read the killer angels, and even at that, i didn't read it thoroughly, possibly because i didn't enjoy it.

so i guess my opinion wouldn't be really valid?

i think october sky would be really good, that's the one i saw the movie of

Answer 7

I think either novel by Howard Fast is your best bet. They are both a bit "lighter" and would make a better summer read. I would personally choose, "Freedom Road", and I think you'll enjoy it.
