A GREAT read!
Rodman Philbrick often writes about writing, but spins a great tale that engages both younger and older folks.

Well written, absolutely ...

"Freak The Mighty "by Rodman Philbrick
My son who is fifteen came home in the beginning of the school year 07 and was wild about a book, but couldn't remember to tell me its proper title. It has been a struggle to get him to read anything other than the covers to the next PS3 gangster/ mafia blue ray game. I purchased this book on a lark that maybe he might read something about an odd friendship, seeing as he is forever dragging ...

This book was great!!
I really liked the use of imagery. There is a lot of suspense that builds up after reading for a Little while. I did not want to set it down. Aside from the fact that I had school to study for, I would not have set it down. I will read this book again as soon as I have the time.
