Summary: A Bit Depressing
Comment: Brent Bishop is like most teenagers. He struggles daily trying to be "popular." He gets his chance to prove himself when he is allowed to go to "cool guy Chaz's" party. Unfortunately, his chance for popularity is ruined that night since he is humiliated in front of everyone by the girl he has a crush on. He leaves the party and his life changes forever. In the process of trying to kill himself, he kills an innocent 18-year-old girl. As punishment he is told to build whirligigs in her honor and place them in the four corners of the country so that her spirit can live on. In this process he learns that there is more to life than he ever imagined. I liked the book okay although it was somewhat depressing throughout until you reach the ending. It made me think about how trivial some things in life are. It also made me think about how the things you do effect many other peoples lives. I recommend this for people who want to read it by their interest in what I wrote above.

Summary: Whirligig Review
Comment: When Brent Bishop goes to a party his expectations are sky high, his crush is going to be there, and the party is thrown by one of the schools most popular guys. But, instead of the party being a blast, it was a bust. Brent is humiliated, and leaves the party with intentions of killing himself, but instead of killing himself he kills a girl he doesn't even know. The girls mother doesn't want revenge though, she wants Brent to set up whirligigs up in the four corners of the US. Washington, California, Flordia, and Maine. On the trip, Brent learns how to make wonderful whirligigs, and he also learns a lot about himself. I think this book was wonderful. There's really no other word to describe it. It's a book you can just sit down with and read until you're finished without putting it down. I suggest that anyone that can read, read this book.

Summary: Whirligig
Comment: Whirligig is an awesome book created by Paul Fleischman. Brent Bishop is new to town and he attends a private school. His friend, Jonathan got invited to a party and he told Brent he could come along. Brent kept following this girl he liked and she finally put a stop to it. Brent stormed out of the party while being drunk! He decided to commit suicide, but in attempt of doing that he killed another person, a girl named Lea. The only request of Lea's mother was for Brent to go to the four corners of the United States (Washington, Maine, Florida, and California) and build a whirligig in each state. That would help keep Lea's spirit alive. If you decide to read this book, you will read how the whirligigs affected other people in either hatred, or amazement. This book is a great book because it teaches people to keep the spirit of a deceased loved one around. The book also helps you understand the mind of a person who has killed another, but by mistake (not because they wanted the person dead). This book has a little twist to it. Just when you think the lies have stopped they start again. I would recommend this book to anyone who is adventurous and out going.
