" A Small White Scar was a rather simplistic story. The story was predictable. The plot was quite shallow. It was ok, but I have read better books. Historical fiction set in the old west is not my favorite style of writing. It was ok, but I enjoy books with more modern settings and a deeper plots. "

" I loved the reader of this one a lot. The story was okay. I'm book talking this one next month since it's a Caudill. "

" Good story. I am wondering what has prompted the run of books about brothers/sisters with disabilities. I would put in same category as Rules, and Al Capone Does My Shirts. "
