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.

An Alright Read
Crispin: the Cross of Lead, by Avi, was a decent novel because while it did have an entertaining plot, it, at times, was a tad too predictable. It was very original towards the beginning, with Bear essentially making Crispin his servant, and, unlike what many may expect, he never manages to leave. However, once it became clear that these two would be stuck together, the plot descended into the all too familiar two-people-stuck-with-each-other-slowly-become-friends theme. Characters that were obviously suspicious obviously popped up later on in the novel, and for a while the predictable plot made it seem like the inspiration for this novel was a Disney movie, and not feudalism in the late fourteenth century. Thankfully, the plot began to pick again towards the last third of the book, with the book managing to keep the reader on their toes. The excitement picks up again with many scenes that do manage to surprise. In conclusion, while Crispin is not the best due to some slow moments, it could certainly do worse.

Crispin Review
Crispin by Avi is one of the best novels because it has adventure and suspense in it, but it does have one flaw. The flaw is thats it takes a while to get to the fun and adventure. The start of the book is slow. It starts getting good towards the middle and end of the book. Though it takes awhile to get to the action it is worth it because what becomes of Crispin and what he turns out to be is crazy. Crispin is a book about a young boy who doesn’t really know who he is but in the end he turns out to be happy and except his name. You also get a look at what it was like in the Middle Ages. Overall Crispin is a good book that you must read at least once in your life.
