The book that I have read was called Hold Fast. My over all impression of this novel was very good. The reason that I liked the book so much was because it hit home. The reason that I say it like that is because I was also orphaned by my father and it made me realise a lot of things. When people lose someone it is hard to just go on with your life so quickly, this book proves this and shows that only time will heal your wounds, so to speak. When I very first started reading Hold Fast I was immediately interested. This was because the author started the story at the funeral of the deceased parents. Their Michael expresses his feelings about his parents. Michael tries to blame his tears on the Minister but admits to himself that it is all right to cry. The main character in the book tells this story, his name is Michael. Michael is between the ages of 13 and 14. Michael's parent's die in a tragic accident leaving him and his brother orphaned. This forced Michael and his brother Brent to be split up and live in different homes. The book Hold Fast kept me on my toes at all times. This book was interesting, stunning and this would be an excellent choice for any teen to read. This book taught me that all children in the world have to learn to be independent, but . . . they have to learn to do it on their own. By Aimee Chouinard

Book Review The book that I was reading was called Hold Fast, and going to tell you about my overall evaluation about how good or bad the story was. I believe that the book hold fast was a very good book because of the events that happen in the story. I like the main character Michael, Because of the kind of situation that he was in and what he did to control it. I also liked the story because I can relate to some of the events that happen in the story. There was nothing in the book I disagreed with. But overall it was a funny and excited book to read, and I enjoyed it very much. The subsequent thing about the book I am going to talk to you about is how interesting was the book, why didn't or why did I keep reading it. Because the main character Michael was telling the story it made it more interesting because there was more felling to the story. Also because Michael knows about every event that happen because he was there, so the way the story was told by Michael's point of view is the real way the story should be told. I will recommend this book to every one who needs to know how hard and important life is. People how are going through pain and hare times should read this book so they know they are not the only one in the world that is having problems. Whatever the situation is they need to fight through there problems and try to mike thing happen for them. So I will recommend this book to people how don't know how important life really is to everyone. Andrew Bent.
