Summary: read Dr. Suess instead
Comment: I know Nathaniel Hawthorne is super great and everything, and this one isn't quite as overtly moralizing as "The Great Carbuncle" and certain of his other New Hampshire stories, but it annoys me when someone takes it upon themselves to improve upon other people in a novel -- it's not goofy enough to interest a kid nor deep enough to interest an adult.

My first inclination is to give it one star, because so many others with much less fame write much better prose. But I have to leave room for even worse books, of which there are many...

Rating: 5
Summary: an imagination of one's mind
Comment: I am much interested in teaching lessons for kids. There are too many books to teach knowledge, but hard to find any to teach wisdom. We, adults, sholud teach our children the abstract conceptions, such as happy, perseverence, love, imagination, wisdom, mercy etc, through books. I think this book is really good because I can teach easily my children that you can be what you think in your mind, what you will think in your mind, good or bad. Introduce this book to your kids,and discuss the strength of imagination. Thank you.

Summary: The book could have been better.
Comment: This book was unable to hold my interest. I thought the book was boring. This book had a good plot. The reason I was not to fond of the "The Great Stone Face" was because there wasn't much action. If you like action don't read this book, but if you like stories set in the Early American times or legends this book would be great for you. This book would be good for kids in sixth through tenth grade. I think the author did a good job on the "The Great Stone Face" and I would probably read another one of his books.
