What students have to say about the book:

The Freak: Overall, it was a very good book.  It has  a good ending. I wonder how the new company will work out?

Ethan10: It's a good book. You should read it. This would never happen in real life. It wouldn't even make the newspapers.

Flying Monkey: I hated the book. I don't like baskeball or any other sport, but I like Finkles. They are very tasty.

Emo: The book was awesome. It made me read another book by the same author. I decided to read The Million Dollar Put.
