jeneca 's review for:
Johnny Tremain
by Esther Forbes
I very much enjoyed this book. I adore Historical Fiction, and this one was amazing. I haven't quite looked very closely at the beginning of the revolutionary war before, and especially not in this light.
Johnny Tremain, the main character, showed extraordinary growth from page one to the last page. From a childish boy to a man. A real man. It was all written very well, and it was one of those books that you could truly loose yourself into. I loved how non-stereotypical this book was. Defently not what I expected in the least. The subplots of Johnny's heritage added such a rich little swirl to this ice cream. Also, I really enjoyed that he was a silver smith apprentice (in the beginning) something I know nothing about.
I love Goblin, and how Goblin is basically Johnny in horse form.
I really love Cilla. And the story with Isannah and Lavinia was interestingly odd and disgusting and I actually am glad that was in the book.
Also, initially, the way it ended bothered me. But thinking on the idea some more, it ended as it started. He starts of,might off the bat, a child. You can see that. It ends as he really becomes a man. He has gotten over his burned hand. We are left with him preparing to have a quick surgery on his hand-- something he decided to do.
The only thing that bothers me.
