Reveiws

I didn't like the book __Code Talker__ by Joseph Bruchac. It didn't have much action or suspense. There is also not enough description. In the many battle scenes, the author tells everything, not shows. This book had no plot, or emotion. That is what I think about the book __Code Talker__ by Joseph Bruchac. -Ryan

MEGAN'S REVIEW I did not like the book Code Talker by Joseph Bruchac. This book is about a 6-year-old boy named Ned Begay that is forced to learn english and forget everything he learned about being navajo. He easily gets through school and moves on to high school where he hears that World War Two is in need of Navajos! He signs up and gets through boot camp. Then he finds out he is ion a secret mission that only Navajos can do. He is a code talker translating messages to and from marines using his sacred language.

I didn't like this book. There was not enough action. Also, it was really confusing to me because they would use big words to describe the guns and ships. Another reason I didn't like this book is because there was only three characters that they really talked about. It was Ned, and his two friends. This book was really boring and, it didn't leave me wanting to read more.

COURTNEY'S REVIEW I did not like this book because there was not much of a plot to it and there is no adventure. It's not a pageturner. There is no dialouge and it it full of too much worthless information.

JULIE'S REVIEW The book __Code Talker__ is about a Navajo indian named Ned Begay and he is sent away to a school/camp to learn english and forget his navajo ways. Then when he turns 17 he joins the Marines, he found out that when he joined the Marines his and the other navajo's jobs were to make up a code for the war. The Marines used the Navajos because they wanted to mix in the Navajo language with the code.

I really didn't like this book, because it really had no plot. The only part I liked was the begining when he got sent to the camp. Then when he got sent to war it got very boring, I think that if the author had included more dialoge in the book it would be a lot better. And more charecters, also since this is a war book there should have been more action. Out of five stars I would give this book half a star because it was so boring and the only part I liked was the begaining.

CHRIS'S REVIEW When you first pick up code talker, you think, wow! This looks interesting, but looks can be deceiving. And in the case of this book, they sure were. Code talker definitely is up there on my least favorite book list, but not everything is all bad. There are a few parts of the book that i really liked, but mostly, i really disliked this book. I thought it lacked excitement, suspense, and just a basic plot. Personally, it felt as if he went to war, and then that was it. There was no twist, nothing exciting. I do not encourage anyone to read code talker unless you are a hard core war book reader.
