Customer Reviews of Tuck Everlasting
Well written but disappointing Tuck everlasting is a very well written story that I really enjoyed <
>but it has an extremely sad ending. I would give it 5 stars but for the ending.
An exceptionally well-written advertisement for Stockholm Syndrome
As a budding children's author, I've had this book recommended to me time and again. I knew just the broad strokes of the story (young girl finds family with eternal life), but I wasn't quite prepared for the way the plot unfolded.
<
>
<
>The protagonist, an 11-year-old, who has been kidnapped, is charmed by the family and their burdensome secret, and infatuated with their ostensibly 17-year-old son (creepily, it's mutual).
<
>
<
>A sympathetic character commits murder to protect a family secret, and the main character is concerned only with saving the woman from the gallows (which would lead not to her death, but to revelation). The villain, the Man in the Yellow Suit, is painted so one-dimensionally as a moustache-twirling baddie that it's supposed to be okay that Mae Tuck killed him.
<
>
<
>In less than 24 hours, a girl goes from wishing for adventure to defending a murderer, all because she was, as the author so frequently reminds us, bored.
<
>
<
>All I could think of as the book concluded was Stockholm Syndrome, the phenomenon in which a kidnap victim comes to sympathize with his or her abductors.
<
>
<
>This book, for all its reputation, doesn't just send a bad message, it sends several. There is great storytelling prowess here, but at its heart is a main character with no conscience.
Tuck Everlasting - Review
This book is called 'Tuck Everlasting,' written by Natalie Babbit. I rated this book three stars.
<
>
<
> The characters in this book (the Tuck family and Winnie) are very realistic. Their personalities are individual, and probably easy to relate to.
<
>
<
> The plot in this book is that Winnie and the rest of the Tuck family work together to try to free Mae Tuck from prison, after she killed a man because of trying to save Winnie from practically being kidnapped.
<
>
<
> One of the only things I didnt't like about this book would have to be concerning the book's length. I thought that it could have been longer.
<
>
<
> I thought everything else about the book was okay.
