This book is a really touching book about 2 special boys. For all of you people saying it's too violent for little kids. Why are you reading it to little kids?? Of course, it's too violent for 5 yr olds! Anyway if you are complaining it's too violent for 9 yr olds, then why do all the teachers read it to the kids?

Who are the parents who think it's "good" for their child to be exposed to a father who murdered his wife in cold blood by strangling her to death in front of their 4-year old son? The son recounts the events of that horrible night shortly after a woman frees him from the chair where his father has bound him hand and foot and gagged him, only to have the father return unexpectedly and begin strangling yet another woman, graphically choking the life out of her. Once the boy, our main character, reveals that he witnessed his father murder his mother, good ol' dad begins to strangle HIM, too, and the children who are the target audience get to read from a young man's perspective what it's like to be strangled nearly to death. Unbelievably raw portrayals of blind rage and a murderous father who willingly kills first the mom and then attempts to strangle the son. Who thought this was a good idea for children???

I am a school librarian and my sixth graders hang of every word. They have gone through a roller coaster of feelings. Although the language is rough,the relationship forged between freak and mighty is priceless.

This book is really funny and sad at the same time. I read this book in 4th hour. IT'S REALLY GREAT BOOK AND I WILL RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO YOUNG READERS!!!!!

This book is so boring i fell asleep while reading it! It actually starts to get olay at the very end of the book though. Very sad and even a sad ending!

I loved this book. It was funny & sad and it was kind of a Mystery Drama type of book. The book is manily about Freak & Max's lifes. FREAK THE MIGHTY.

This is the absoulute best book i have evr read in my life. But, i think Rodman could have made it a bit longer. Also, if they made a current movie about it that would be great. I recomment this buuk to everyone of any age.

It thought that this book was ok. It wasn't that violent I guess, but it can sorta help kids that are a bit more mature to understand how violent strangers can be, and what to stay away from.

I thought the book couldn't get any worse but it did. I was doing this for a school thing.
