Summary: I am the Clay good but not perfect
Comment: I enjoyed it thoroughly and would give it an 8 of 10 or four stars ****. I liked how the story was told in three points of view and how it went into detail. At the beginning the story was a little boring because it was over descriptive and there wasn't any action or conversation, but at the middle and the end it became more of a story than a description. Another problem was at the beginning of the story, the characters weren't introduced yet and the perspectives switched about every three paragraphs so I didn't know who was thinking and it confused me. I would recommend it to anyone in high school or older. When the boy was emotional the sentences would be run-ons, which I had mixed feelings about because they were run-ons but they conveyed his feelings better than a regular sentence ever could. It wasn't the best book I've ever read but it's up there.

Summary: Good Lesson Regarding War
Comment: I think the overall meaning and story behind I Am the Clay is a powerful one and that this book should be taught within Jr. High or High School. With that said, I had the hardest time reading this book. Potok's writing style is one that helps my brain wander while I'm reading, and I often had to go back and re-read sections. The beginning of the book is the densest with narrative description that's often told in 2 different perspectives and later in 3. I really became interested in the characters about mid-way through the book.
I Am the Clay will give any person who hasn't been affected by war in their homeland a glimpse of what life can be like. This was set during the Korean war, which was not that long ago, so I think we can imagine what it may be like today as well. No matter where you live.
