review 1: The purpose for the author of writing the book was to say that just because something goes bad in your life you don’t dwell on it, you move on and you can’t let the bad luck ruin your life. Roy’s father had a business that could only work when it rained and it stopped raining and he could not run his business anymore but he did not give up he thought of a new business he could run.The theme of the book is not to stay upset about the past because you can’t fix it now. You have to worry about what is ahead of you. “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” That is how Roy’s father looked at life.This book was told in a narration, the book was told it has been raining for the last 25 years. Roy loves baseball but can never play because it rains so much, t... morehen one day out of nowhere it just stops raining. The rest of the book tells how they fix the fields and how they replay the 4th of July game from 25 years ago.I thought the book was alright, I thought I talked more about the lives of Roy his father and the adopted brother. There wasn’t enough baseball in it like I thought there would be. It took me a long time to get into the book, it was not very exciting. By the end of the book it got better and that is when I started to get into the book.
review 2: Mudville by Kurtis Scaletta The main character is Roy McGuire 12 years old. It has been raining longer then Roy has been alive and he does not expect it to end soon. My favorite part was right when he got home from baseball camp, he found a new family member and then just a few days later it stops raining after 22 years. This is my favorite part because it takes everyone by surprise. I think the author wrote this because she wanted to show anything can happen at anytime even when you are not expecting it. How this all started when they were playing their rival school in baseball season and it started to rain and never stopped, they never finished the game. Now it has stopped raining it is time to finish what they started 22 years ago. I didn't really like this book all that much but do recommend it to people for a pretty easy read and there are some interesting parts but overall i didn't like it all that much. less
