i dont really get this book??? can someone help me??? PLEASE AND THANK U!!

What about it don't you get?

the writing style is a little bit confusing but once you get used to it it's a really facinating book.

I agree, the dialectical (is that a word?) way that the book is written takes some getting used to, but the story itself is great

i loved this book. it all made sence to me and im only 10.???

It's a great historical fiction novel but I thought it was a little slow to start. By the end though I think it had really come together and was a good read.

I also read this book when I was 10. I really loved it, all the history and creativity mixed together. I love the part when he crosses the boarder and sees the slaves - so sad, because that is how slaves really were and still are treated!

Need to keep in mind this book was written as a period piece. I found it a little difficult at the beginning, but once I got use to the writing style I had a hard time putting the book down until it was finished.

I cant get past the bad writing. Who ever says 'throwed' and 'knowed' it's like a monkey wrote it, at least for the grammar. No of fence, I think I would have liked it if not for the terrible grammar and annoying characters.

Well I just finish the book and it got really good at the end

The writing style was purposely framed to reflect the culture and time period. I personally love books that read like you are there with the characters. "The Three Little Cajun Pigs" by Mike Artell is one I particularly love to read to my daughter because my ancestry is French Canadians who migrated south and helped build that Cajun culture.
