review 1: Phantoms in the Snow****Phantoms in the snow the characters are very believable In some points that I got so into the book I forgot that it was fiction and when that happens you know it’s a believable and interesting book. I really liked how Noah wasn’t very sure if he wanted to stay at Camp Hale with an Uncle that he didn’t know deep down loved him very much. But as the story moved along that completely changed. Noah was begging to be with his Uncle James Shelley the whole time especially when Shelley was in the hospital. As Noah and his Uncle Shelley and their whole tenth mountain division moved from Colorado to Texas to finally join the war efforts in Italy. All in all this book had a great plot that I wish just had a snitch more action. Noah developed and changed... more so much during the story and grew to be a fine young man that really learned a lot about life through his days with his fellow soldiers. Now it’s time to talk about the great James Shelley. Until half way through the book I didn’t like the man he looked like he didn’t care that his sister died at all and he didn't really act very comforting to his nephew Noah. Just like Noah he developed and, “softened” up if that’s how you want say it. I’m not trying to bag on the author Kathleen Benner Duble because I know no I could never write this great of a book but I didn’t really think she had great voice. Everything she said was kind of dull and not very exciting. Just like her voice I didn’t really like her style I mean it was a good book and all but I didn’t really like the way her chapters were set up I would have liked it if the chapter had a title so I could have tried to predict what would have happened in the chapter.
review 2: This book was a great read."I decided to start the year off strong this year, so I chose a book from one of my least favorite genres. I just saw this book sitting on the top of one of the shelves in the Media Center, so I decided to give it a shot. I really enjoyed it, and it was easier to journal for than any other book so far. It is about a boy named Noah, who's Mother and Father die of some sickness, leaving him to his only living relative, an uncle he has never met. He has to leave Texas and go to a ski base, of all places. He finds himself as a pacifist Texan in a skiing army base, only having seen snow once before. He has to try to sort out his life, the war, and his future." less
