The Wanderer
by Sharon Creech
The Wanderer (12/11/2007)
Personally, I did not enjoy this book. I found myself forcing myself to read this 1/3 of the way through. I like books about the sea, but this book was just slow moving and not my type. I didn’t like how the book was worded. It was hard to understand. Also, I despised how the chapters would switch from character to character. If I would have wrote the book like that, I would have had a chapter for each character, not just Sophie and Cody. If you like books about a girl trying to get through hard life times, and family issues then I suggest this book for you. I just don’t enjoy this book. The characters were not described, and the scenes were not the best choice. Also, I felt like the book went on and on. There was no end. When it got to the ending, it just ended with no emotional feeling. The book had no purpose. Don’t read this book. Ever. You will be bored. I rate this Book a one not a two and not a five, a one. >=(
