       The book I am reading right now is called ``The Landing”, it is written by John Ibbitsin.
                 
                         A brief summary of my book so far.

Ever since Ben Murcer was a boy, he has had a passion for music. However, not to long after Ben gained his passion, his father was killed in a logging accident. So, Ben and his mom were forced to move in with his Uncle Henry. In the current time of the book, Ben is fixing up his uncles cottage, so that they can rent it out to the rich. There is so much work left to do on the property, and to make matters worse, the rich folk are arriving in only one day. Henry is not pleased about this, so, he is constantly yelling at Ben, reminding him to work even harder.
                                              My thoughys on this book.
                      Being that I am at the early stages of my novel, I have mainly learned the basic  foundations of the book . However, the book is written with a generality that makes the story seems like it could appeal to every individual.  Regardless of the books potential, it contains very little action or shift, making it boring. Although I do love the character development of the book, I’m already attached to the main character Ben. I’m relating some of my own life to his; as I struggle to find time for my passions, and so does he.

  2. Well done, and good word choice as Eric said. I do believe however, that you could have included a bit more information other than jumping right into the summary. I feel that you explained this as though we have read the book, in which we as the readers haven't. Good job though!
