Author: Alice Hoffman
I read this book because it was the only interesting one I had.
Blackbird house is a story that spans for about 200 hundred years, about the families living in a house in Massachusetts called Blackbird House.
Once Coral Hadley loses her sons and husband at sea, tragedy strikes all the next generation of inhabitants of that house. And a bird witnesses all those tragedies.
Each chapter in the book tells the story of the families living in that house. I loved the stories and thought they were very imaginative and delightful. Alice Hoffman is a very good storyteller.
I think this book is similar to One Hundred Years of Solitude, since it does not have a particular plot but it consists of many happenings. In contrast to One Hundred Years of Solitude, it is much shorter.
However, the end didn’t make any sense to me and I didn’t enjoy how it ended.
Blackbird House is a good, short read that will lighten you up.
My rating: 6/10

Hi Zawan,
Nice post. Interesting story.
Keep in touch,

Hi Zawan! I don't know which post to write this on so I wrote it in the first one on your page! To answer your question, I am in the eight grade and I live in the US. My Social Studies teacher is awesome. He tries to incorporate learning with all of the new technology. That's how I got my blog! I also have a wikispace page and other things... He believes in not memorizing facts but learning how to work in groups and find information. This will help us in the future, I think. Well, talk to you later!

zawan, hello.....I haven't read this book and tried to find it in the leading bookstore but it isnt ter :(
BTW, I bought TO Kill A Mocking Bird- by Harper Lee....it's a fabulous read.... have u tried it yet??
Meghna,
yes I understand that because i think it was published in 2001 and it's not that popular, so you may not find it in a regular bookstore...
i haven't read To Kill a Mocking Bird, but I know it's an amazing book and I'm trying to get a copy ASAP. it's on my wishlist!
can't wait for your review
