Crispin Review
The book, “Crispin: The Cross of Lead,” was simply brilliant. The main character, Crispin, is a bit timid and scared and doesn't know who he is. The book is about the adventure Crispin endures to find who he is and who he can become. On this adventure he finds who his father is and that is truly a surprise. The book is very suspenseful and can be very shocking. Please read this book it is truly great.

The novel Crispin, by Avi, is an interesting novel because it has a good storyline intertwined with historical medieval feudalism. Crispin is based in a manor owned by a wealthy landowner known as Lord Furnival. However, when Furnival perishes, things start to go wrong. A young boy known as Asta's son is forced to flee the manor. What problems will he face and shall he be able to overcome them? This sparks much interest and suspense, as to make it more of both. In conclusion, Crispin, by Avi, is an interesting and suspenseful novel due to the fact of the boy's uncertain fate.

This book was a good book but, Avi has written better books in his time. Avi is my favorite author. I wish to meet him! I have tried to write books but, I'm not that good with grammar. Crispin is a little boring. I would never want to be a wolves head in my life.

Crispin Review
The book Crispin by Avi, was a poorly written story because there wasn't a lot of action. Even though the plot was interesting, there was not much action until page 200. Also, Crispin needs to stop whining about how God is the only one who can save him and start living. Crispin doesn't anything interesting until later in the book. He just needed to suck it up and live his life instead of thinking about the "sins" he had done in the past. These are the reasons why I thought this book was poorly written because there was not a lot of action until much later in the book.

Crispin Review
The novel Crispin: The Cross of Lead, written by Avi, is a very interesting book because it always has suspenseful moments that, if you stopped reading, your mind would be bugging you all the time if you’re curious, which if you are, you will need to find out what happens in the next scene. This book is set in the 14th century in England, to be specific, 1377 A.D. is the date that it is set in. Crispin: The Cross of Lead is very ruthless with its description, but still, I recommend reading it no matter what age you are. There is a corrupt steward in this novel who no one would ever be able to like, however, there still are likeable characters, like the priest, and a man of many talents named Orson Hrothgar. The main boy will sometimes get annoying because he always talks about God and getting to the “good place” and not going to the ”bad place”. The book is enjoyable until some of the stupid parts like how Crispin just trips and wakes up somewhere else. In conclusion, Crispin: The Cross of Lead was a graphic, but interesting book, and you should read it.

Disappointment
The novel, Crispin: The Cross Of Lead by Avi was a horrible excuse for a book because of the stupidity of the main character and the boredom I was in all throughout the book. Every word in this disgrace of a book was so unbelievable boring, that anyone that were to read this would immediately go to sleep. This should be an enormous disappoint in the author and the whole idea of the book. The main character was an absolute idiot and complainer. It is hard to listen to this complete fool,Crispin, all he would ever do is complain over and over; this is pain to the ears. Crispin is the worst character I have ever read about. In conclusion, Crispin: The Cross Of Lead, was the worst book I have ever read because of dangerously stupid main character and the lack of action and interest.
