"Early in the summer of 1946, an infantry sergeant returned from the war and ruined my life by forcing me to move from our comfortable basement apartment in Wistola,Montana, out to a farm in the middle of nowhere." pg1
I really like this book because the imagination of the author is really imaginative. For example, when Donald was imagining that he was flying into space in his wooden spaceship. This was a really good part to read for me because it actually felt like I was in the spaceship. Clara
ReplyDeleteI didn't like this story because it was boring. Nothing really grabbed me to pull me in. The plot was thin and even though I agree with Clara but most of it was horrible. All in all Ididn't like the book.

I agree with Julia because it wasn't very exciting and it didn't catch my atention so it wasnt very good

I highly agree with Julia, this story didn't really catch my eye, although from the begging through the end, there was a sentence that had a bit of humor in this which was: "dad, can I shoot this gun?" "When you are in High school and you get good grades" at the beggining and at the end when the little kid was all grown up and got good grades "Dad, Im older, Now can I shoot the gun?" "sorry son, I sold it a long time ago" It was an okay book, although I wouldn't reccoment this. Jenny 6
ReplyDeleteI agree Sam and Julia 5/6 it's boring, their no excitement in the story though their was some funny parts but just in all it was boring but the book was interesting a little. Harrison :0{
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jenny and Julia that this story is very boring because nothing grabbed my attention, I also felt that the problem could of been more exciting becuase it was just that he didn't like his dad at first, he had to move to a new school, make new friends and leave his old friends. The only part I really liked was when he gave his dad the $10 he got for his birthday for the mortgage. I liked this part becuase it was really sweet of him to do.

I agree with everything Christine said, nothing really grabbed my attention. It was sort of a basic story, a little boring, but overall OK.There was a little humour in the story though, which I liked. But the plot could've been more exciting though.

When the Sergeant Came Marching Home was my favorite book so far. I guessed before I read the book that it would be about the war time. From the cover it showed a farm and the title had "sergeant" in it. I liked how it was from Donald's perspective. I also liked the humor about the washer. Reading about the war is interesting to me and this book reminded me of the Camp X series. Kayleigh
ReplyDeleteAt first i didn't like this book but after reading a few more chapters i really liked it. The author has great imagination and turned this story into reality. I really liked the characters and how every thing they say fits there personality. One of my favourite books.
ReplyDeleteThis book was boring because it has no excitment or any shocking parts and the book was interesting a little bit, but all of the part were justing boring and lame.

When the sergeant came marching home was an okay book it wasn't the best book I have read but it was okay, some parts in the book were funny but none of the story really held my atetion.
