Freak the Mighty

   There are many books out there that are very interesting but there is one book that blows your mind away like leaves would on a windy day. The book that is very interesting is Freak the Mighty. There are many reasons that this book is amazing but some are very important that you can only get out of this book.

   I liked this book for many reasons but one really stands out. The one reason that makes me love this book so much is how Freak and Max are like best friends and they do everything together. For example, on the first day they met  they were little  and they probably didn`t talk that much. Then a few years later Freak moved in next to Max and Max ran inside the house when Freak caught him watching what he was doing. If it wasn`t for the kid that played "bowling with Freak and they blamed it on Max then the two of them wouldn't `t have gotten to know each other so well and Max would have never been able to learn how to read a book because Freak as the one who taught him how to start to read just so Max was able to move up to eighth so he could be with Freak.
  There were many characters in this book that are very important but there is one that brought the whole book together. This one person made everything come together and help Max get through hard times with family issues and also with Max`s learning disabilities. This persons name is Kevin. He was able to help Max when his father was hurting him and Loretta. He was also able to teach Max how to read. If it wasn`t or Freak then Max wouldn`t have been able to make friends and he wouldn`t have been able to stand up to Tony D. and his gang. 
  There were many sad and funny events in this story that can happen in real life. For example, when Freak died at a young age his family and friends were very devastated just like in real life a when a child dies at a young age it is a unexpected tragedy. Also, in real life you  can have many friends that come and go but the one true friend you will always stick together and be a team just like Freak and Max did. Through ups and downs they were always friends and no one was going to be able to break them apart because they were a team called Freak the Mighty.
   
   Who wouldn`t want to read this book. It is amazing. That is why if you were my friend I would recommend it to you. There are many things that Freak and Max do that relate to my friends and I like they go on fun and exciting adventure and also how they are also sticking together like a team. My friends would also enjoy this book because it sometimes explains how they are always together and they can`t live without each other just like my friends and I almost feel like the other half of us is missing when we are not together.
