I bought this book for my little sister (age 11) who really LOVED it. I've just finished reading it myself (I'm 22!), and I loved it too. I know it's a cliche, but this book really will make you laugh and make you cry. The characters will stay with you long after you put the book down. This is a truly touching book for children of all ages.

I absolutely loved Freak the Mighty. It's a cliche, but it realy did make me laugh out loud and then cry. The relationship between Freak and Max was engaging and entertaining - I especially loved the way Freak talked about his illness to Max, and the imaginary adventures they go on.

It's a shame if you've read the synopsis, as things only become clear as the story develops. I read this book at two sittings - it would have been one had I not been interrupted!
A book about disability which is wonderfully enabling. A book about death which is life-enhancing. And enormously funny. Occasionally scarey. Often very touching.
Whatever you do, remember to read the dictionary at the end - but don't read it till you've read the book or it won't make any sense.
Age range 11+++ I think that adults will enjoy this 'children's' book - well, I did.
