Kirk krak

I did not like this book. I realize that this is a class about humanity and empathy, but the stories were very depressing and graphic. However, I thought that the style of writing in stories such as "Children of the Sea" was intresting. Although it was a little harder to follow the story, seeing the writing from two main characters perspective was more captivating then just reading from one.

Krik? Krak!
I thought that this book is the worst I have ever read. The story line and events kept you interested and guessing what will happen next. This shows the problems that occur in Haiti and shows the lives of various characters. Many see what it can be like in tough times in America, and even those times can be better then an average live in other countries. I think that Krik? Krak! shows this point. I will admit that I have read better books in my life but I don't think is was the worst I have ever read. I think this was an average book and on a 1 to 10 scale I would give it a 6.
