IT WAS A GREAT BOOK

THE JAZZ MAN WAS A GREAT BOOK.IT HAD GREAT PICTURES.THE ARTIST WAS VERY ARTISTIC WITH THE PICTURES.I DON'T THINK IT WAS BORING AT ALL.

what a great book

This book is one of the best books I've ever read and I'm 12 so it is for all ages and people.I've given this book 5 stars because it was so good.I wish I could buy it!I only read this book for my class novel to read,but it was still good.

A wonderful book called the jazz man

Ok I thought the book was wonderful. It gave you so much detail.First- It didn't matter whether he had a lame leg or not. He still got around what ever he did because he could walk up and down stairs.Next- His mother and father didn't leave him. It was just a dream he had about his mother and father leaving him and there not being any food.Then- He walks down the stairs andacross the street. He sees the jazz man, tony, Manuel, and Ernie plaing there instuments. He goes in to the resturtant and here's a voice and it sounds like his father. He looks up and it is his father.He wakes up and sees his father and mother.That is my point of view of the jazz man.
