"Although rather dark, a good story about acceptance, although some of the slang seemed off for eight-graders in the early 90s."

"I read this books in 7th or 8th grade and its definitely one of my favorites. The story is so easy to get attached to and makes you want to keep reading even after it’s ended you wanna know what happens next."

"this book was great to read that I very much enjoyed. I liked the imagination that freak has, and the enthusiasm he has for his knowledge. max also plays a big role in the story, the person who can tolerate the words from freak, and his everlasting facts that see, to be spewing from his mouth. freak then teaches max about the power of knowledge and max is put into "the smart classes" as Max calls it. the friendship between max and freak is inseparable, even by death."
