Wow! What a Great Book! It is full of suspense and from the very begining it keeps you wanting to continue reading. I think this is a book should win awards and prestigue, as it is detailed about the times of the people that lived in the war time. For those who lived in these times it would be a blessing as the times should never be forgotten, many suffered and this book will give them a remembrance. I would recommend, "Number The Stars [Yearling Newbery]", to all ages, young and old!

I have not purchased this book yet but I have seen and read about it and online there is a preview that allows you to read chapters/page throughout the book. I found it very inspireing and I cannot wait to get this book for myself. I believe it lets us think about a side of us and true life that we choose to see as an opposite of us when in truth there is no good without bad a balnce of a side to life we as most humans choose not to believe is in each one of us, because you know some dark souls on this journey were not always dark I believe. I do not think each darkness is a bad thing, or should I say athing to not understand as it is and truthfully makes a balance to "Good" that we as humans all are not full of Good. I think this book will be an inspireration to most who read it and do not forget, live with an open mind to things unexplained because the unexplained has a purpose too. Life should be simple but LIVED!

I have not read this book yet, but I will say I will be looking forward to getting it and reading it!!! I think it sound like it is not only a true story, but a story that will bring the reader back to "God", and/or the readers spiritual side. I think we all need to be more aware of life and the how we should treasure the things we take for granted! Good reading and I will be purchasing this one soon!

I believe this is an excellent book for todays People!!!! I believe their are way more people riding bicycles today as our "Green" era, and economy is so slow!! We need this kind of book for those of us who are beginning to attempt riding bikes, as I know I know nothing about the modern and todays cycles and accessories. I believe I would read this guide and use it regularly!
