interesting and fun June 30, 1999

Slave Day was the thrird book that I have read by Thomas, the first was Rats Saw God. I must say that the second two books could never compare to the first. Even still I really enjoyed this book. I absoultly loved the eight first person narritives, it helped with speeding up character devolopment. It also let in many sup-plots which are just as interesting as the main one. Another thing I liked was that the two books, Slave Day and Doing Time, both took place at the same high school during the same year. I would strongly suggest this book to any one who likes realistic ficton with a lot of teenage humor.
 Rob Thomas fails at an attempt on teen drama in Slave Day April 8, 1999

I found the book "Slave Day" by Rob Thomas to be both predictable and dull. It simply used teen stereotypes to tell the story of these high schoolers. The author didn't tell us anything about Tiffany's picture of her grandfather and why she was ashamed of it. You didn't see anything happen between Mr. Twilly and the theater teacher, which the author set you up for the whole time. If the author wanted to make it interesting by keeping us guessing he could of supplied some supprises in the plot which was utterly pretdictable. I was dissapointed with this lame teen drama.
A crooked look into high school... March 17, 1999
Rob Thomas thrilled me with "Rats Saw God". I was astonished with the creativity of the book, how everything fit together so well, and how the plot of the story jumped around, never focusing, just on its' own meandering path. "Slave Day" was about everything, nothing, and anything. There were so many sub-plots, so that if you looked beneath the words on the page, there were many hidden meanings. I love Rob Thomas's style of writing, and the quickness of it all. I love being able to finish a book in one night. This book, might I add, was good enough to keep me up reading it.
 quick but good December 3, 1998
I found slave day to be a provocative book for its limited format. The book is an extremly quick read yet it is able to adress some important sociatal issues. It is definatly worth the time it takes to read.
A great book for any high school student! November 22, 1998

Slave Day, although not a very complex and challenging read, has almost all the crucial issues of any high school. It not only describes just about any student personality imaginable, but it shows how all these different people interact with one another. When I finished reading the book, I couldn't get the ending out of my mind, which, I believe, is a major ingredient for a great book. Even if this book is an assigned read for a class, it's worth the time it takes to read. It reads up extremely quickly; so it's not very time consuming. But however long it takes you to read it, I would say that it's well worth it!
