From The Corner Of His Eye-- By: Dean Koontz

INTRO:

So far so good, this book has a nice start. This book is about a kid named Bartholomew Lampion that was blinded at three. Surgeons removed his eyes in order to save him from a fast spreading cancer. But even though he had no eyes he regained his eye sight when he was thirteen. Barty wanted to make his mother proud before her second death. This is kind of weird, if she died once how did she die again?, but i guess i didn't read that far yet.......

Frank, I really like response #3.  It is well supported with examples.  The 4th response is a bit too plotty.  Hope you liked (and finished) the book.

Roberto - 3/5 Responses
Roberto, your 2nd response is plot summary, and your third starts off that way even though it veers into character traits.  If you're having a hard time coming up with a topic, go to the list of questions I provided.

You posted the same response twice.  Aaron, I need you to get on the ball.  The one real response you wrote was a simple plot summary.  I need you to go deeper.

Nice responses.  You say that you wish there were more action.  What more are you looking for?

Pat...I need you to do better.  You only finished 40% of the required work.  I need better.  What happened to The Things They Carried?
