5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, heartwarming, and wonderfully written., 22 Jun 2007
By Joe Cutts (Sheffield, south yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I actually bought this by mistake, thinking it was a quirky Chuck Palahniuk type read, and was expecting a dark and twisted story about the cynical camraderie between a cripple and an outcast giant and their subsequent exploits. As a 32 year old guy who shuns magazines, television and most fiction as junk food for the brain, and preferring true life crime and travel, it's completely not the sort of book I would ever pick up if not for the aforementioned mistake. However, a fortuitous mistake it was: this book is awesome. It's aimed at children, but is so brilliantly written that if you can remove yourself for long enough to be immersed in your younger mind you'll get through this book in a few hours and remember how wonderful reading felt when you were a kid with a good book.
If life ever blesses me with children, this is the sort of book I will recommend when they become young adults.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute gem!, 14 Jan 2005
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Warning: this book will have you in tears!, 11 Jan 2005
By A Customer
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.
