Notice Appertaining To Books Running Out of Time

Jessie wanted to ask so many questions, she couldnt think where to begin. She wanted to know about the something dangerous, but she wanted to understand everything else Ma had told her first. She wanted to watch Pa and Mr. Smyth and the Ruddles and all the other adults in Clifton and see what they were hiding. Im not one to begin rampant speculation on a theory. In the end, theres usually a logical explanation for everything. But in this instance, there are just too many examples to ignore. Why

Interesting book, and I can see why people thought the movie "The Village" was based on this. I do wish there'd been a bit more information about what exactly was happening legal-wise with the parents and such at the end. But this is told from Jessie's view only, and it makes sense that we only know what she is told.

It wasn't a bad book, but pretty much nothing happened.

3.5 stars. I think a younger reader would appreciate it more than I did, though I did find parts compelling. Also I hope M. Night Shyamalan has acknowledged that his movie The Village clearly drew inspiration from this book.

This book is a very quick read, as it is intended for a fairly young audience. With its simple characters and plot, it is not exactly captivating, but I did enjoy the protagonist's commentary on the elements of our time period, which were completely foreign to her. I also like the dual meaning of the title. Many of my students enjoy Haddix's books, and this is one that I will recommend to them.

I liked the premise of this book more than I did the execution. The set up was great, and I felt like I understood the world very well. But the book seemed to fall apart a bit at the end, where things got rushed. I wanted to see a bit more deeper characterization overall. I think that for what it is, it's a solid and enjoyable read though, and would recommend it if you're looking for light entertainment.

Loved this one! And I swear this is where the idea for The Village came from! I loved that movie too!
