Another Bookworm

One of those books that force you to re-evaluate your life
Laurie Halse Anderson did an outstanding job on this novel. Her simple yet insightful style of writing is so original; I have never seen anything like it. 'Chains' has all the elements of a worthwhile story, this coming from an ardent reader who is experienced in judging books. A gripping plot, interesting characters, and subtle morals weaved between the lines; you'll find them from the first page. For those who are questioning whether or not to read 'Chains', I assure you of my recommendation.

love it
I really like this book. I think it's one of my faves now. I even got to meet the author! I had to read this book for the English Festival and it was soooo good! The twist she put this story opposed to other stories about slavery was unique. I recommend you read this, and ignore the people who hate it. Unless you really don't like historical fiction, listen to them, but in my opinion it's only boring at the beginning but there is a lot of interesting parts to make up for it.

This book was amazing. I was hooked when I read the first paragraph! This book really helped me understand the revolutionary war better, and entertained me as well.

Chains review
I think that this book deserves 11 points out of 10. Though i am not a historical fiction, Chains really stands out to me. i can relate to most characters, especially Isabella. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend. Thank you for this book, Laurie Halse Anderson!

gooood
This is a great book and taught me a lot about myself and people around that time period. It is unlike most historical fiction books which put me to sleep! I finished it in a day because I couldn't put it down. Please read this book, you will become Isabel as you do.
