Summary: Maurice's Room Book Review
Comment: I didn't like Maurice's Room because the book had absolutely no excitement. The descriptions were very good but the story had no meaning to it. The book was very boring. I had to force myself to read this book because it was so boring. I could see that there was no point in reading a story without excitement, adventure and without any point. Maurice's Room had no problem or solution, which made it very boring, but everything was pretty good.
I DO NOT recommend Maurice's Room to anybody. I'd rate this book from one to five, five being the best, a two and a half.

Summary: Maurice's Room
Comment: I thought the story Maurice's Room should be rated a 3.5. It was good, but it just didn't catch my attention.
I liked the story because it was about a boy who had a different hobby from most boys. Maurice collected everything. When somebody collects something and keeps adding and adding to his or her collection, in the end it pays off. When someone in a book collects something, that character usually has a very different point of view about the objects he or she is collecting, and that makes the story interesting.
I disliked the book because Maurice didn't have a very busy schedule. He played trumpet, but that was a disaster. There also wasn't any excitement because he had a really boring life. I think he should have gone on some adventures; it might have made the story more exciting.

Summary: Maurice's Room
Comment: Maurice is a young boy who lives in a city. He loves to collect anything and everything. Maurice's parents don't approve of his collecting. The janitor of his apartment building, Mr. Klenk, finds stuff for Maurice to add to his collections. Because Maurice's parents are getting fed up of not being able to walk into his room thanks to the mess, they think about moving to the country, where they hope Maurice will have less things to collect. Will they move or will Maurice out grow his love for collecting? Read the book and find out.
On a scale from one to five, five being the highest, I'd give the book a four. The plot was good, but it was a bit confusing in parts. For example, it took me a while to figure out that Maurice was a boy. I also had to re-read a couple of other parts before they made sense.
The author, Paula Fox, used good descriptive words. She makes the reader actually feel like they were there, not just reading about it. I would reccomend "Maurice's Room" to kids ages 9 to 12.
