Dragonwings
By Laurence Yep
In this Newbery medal winning book, Moon Shadow, a young Chinese boy, travels to America to be with his father and search for the "Golden Mountain". And even though he never reaches the Golden Mountain, he finds instead family, friendship, and the urge to fly.
What did you think of the book in general? I thought that the book was really descriptive at first. But in the end, it turned out to be phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteIn the beginning, I thought the book was just ok (meaning I've read better books) but it wasn't bad. But as it got towards the end, it improved greatly!
ReplyDeleteSame here. But there are better books....... It's not like I'd read it again, um, like I did with ATWQ umm, maybe 5 times.
DeleteI really liked Dragonwings. I find it fascinating to go back in time and relive what Moon Shadow and Windrider went through.
ReplyDeleteI have heard so many negative comments about this book but I personally loved it! I could just sit and read it for days.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started reading the book,I would have given it a 1.5 out of 5. It was so descriptive about every single detail, it bored you to sleep. Then, throughout the book, it gradually became way more exciting and fascinating. I liked it much more and had more respect for the book. When I finished it, I would have given it a 4.3 out of 5.
ReplyDeleteI heard everybody saying things like, " I hated it!." I really like it at the end. It was very different in the end than in the beginning, and I personally liked and would read it again.
