 Great for 12 year olds and up July 12, 2008
This was required summer reading for my sons upcoming seventh grade class. He was required to answer questions about the book so I decided to read it along with him so I could help him. I found this book very easy to read. It was based in North Carolina (my home) so it was fascinating to read about areas that I was familiar with. It has a great plot and excitement in every chapter. My son has really enjoyed it. When we discuss it, he can give me details about the story and says what he likes about it. That is always a good sign that he is enjoying it. I think that the issues raised in the book are appropriate for his age group as this is the time that "saving the environment" seems to really kick into high gear. I would recommend this as a good read for anyone 12 and older.
A Great Read! September 30, 2007
T. Taylor's, The Weirdo is a great novel that has everything from science to suspence. It is a great educational read for 8th & 9th graders. It is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat from page one. It's a great read for all ages!

I really liked this book. It started with the adventures right away. Also the author explained the book really well so you can understand it.
This book had a bit of violence and creepy parts. It also had a bit of bad language. I would not recommend this book as a bed-time story. I also think it would be a good idea to read this book with your parents if you are younger than ten.

I must say that I was not forced to read The Weirdo. I also must say that I will never pick it up again. The book is about these two teenagers, Sam and Chip, who are defending themsleves for the bears. The beginning was ok, but then in the middle the book kept switching off from Chip to Sam and it got really boring. The one good thing is that Chip learns to stand up for himself about his image, and Sam stands up for herself against her father. Unless you like boring books about bears and someone murdering someone else and then these two idiot teenagers falling in love, then this isn't the book for you. I thought this book was going to be good... I thought wrong. I just hope I get a good grade on the test.
Question for anyone who has read the book: where does it take place? like I know its the Powhatan River and in the 1990's, but what state???

The Weirdo was not one of my favorite books I have ever read. I dont think that Theodore Taylor did an outstanding job on this book, but dont get me wrong because Theodore Taylor has alot of great books and I am a big fan of his. Theodore Taylor did alot of jumping around in time on this book and I got a little confused while I was reading. I would not recomend this book. This is totally my opinion, but someone else that reads this book may like it.
