Comments on: Into White Silence http://crewsreviews.edublogs.org/2009/06/23/into-white-silence/ Book reviews and recommendations for all Wed, 24 Jun 2009 13:54:34 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 By: Mrs Thomson http://crewsreviews.edublogs.org/2009/06/23/into-white-silence/comment-page-1/#comment-3 Mrs Thomson Wed, 24 Jun 2009 13:54:34 +0000 http://crewsreviews.edublogs.org/?p=46#comment-3 I loved this book and enjoyed your review, except disagreeing with your final assessment. I found the book quite compelling. At times I wanted to get back to one part of the story or another, but I thought Eaton gave us a nuanced view of our main character. I was also enthralled by the history of Sydney we get through the back story of Edward Rourke. I'm sure many young readers will skim some bits to cut to the chase (as will some adults) but others will be as enthralled as me, I'm sure.
