Only Child

Book Overview

The Anatomy of Thatcherism explains how, for the first time in British history, a prime minister's name has become an 'Ism'--a symbol of a profound social change. Letwin argues that Thatcherism promoted a moral agenda rather than an economic doctrine or a political theory in order to achieve a fundamental realignment in British politics.

Brian's Book Review

I thought this book was a good book. There was a lot of fighting and chasing. The setting was in space on a ship called the Anne Cannon, a planet called Patma and at the beach on Patma. Another action part is when Cody was captured. When he was captured the Skippers took him to their cave where there were more Skippers. When Cody was in the cave he wondered if anybody missed him. Also, he tried to think of a way to escape. Cody missed his mom and dad even though he did not know them very well. The reason why was because they worked all day and night so he did not get to see them very much. Cody calls his parents by their first name instead of mom and dad. Cody never left the ship until he was 12. Also, he does not live on earth. He lived on the ship and at the age of 12 he stepped on earth for the first time. on Patma before any people came there were Skippers and humans killed them and used them for experiments. Now that you know about some of the book you can read it and find out what happens after Cody leaves Patma.

Only Child 's reveiw by H.M Hoover

I thought this book was a good book but in the beginning it started to drift of the subject but then get back on track. Example when Cody was being kid napped by the skippers and it would talk about his thought. One part that I thought was weird was when how he never left the ship until he was 12. I thought that was a little weird. My favorite part was when Cody got away from the creatures in the beginning. I think this because it had a lot of action in this part. Another part that I liked was when Cody tried to escape and he got no where. I would describe the skippers as big weird monsters and some did not like Cody very much but some did like Cody a lot. These are some reasons why i thought this book was a good book.
