Death in the afternoon,
By A Customer
This review is from: Death in the Afternoon (Paperback)
I thought this book was A good read. It really showed you what life is like for thoes who are deaf and how it affects the people around them.The only thing i didnt really like about the book was that it wasnt really descriptive so at times it was really hard to follow.

This review is from: Death in the Afternoon (Paperback)
This was a good book because it was cool and she found out who killed her dad. In the beginning it was exciting because she was on a case about who killed her father. She kept collecting clues to help her to find out. she has three friends who help her on her way. In the end she was on a boat and she heard people talk about killing her and another person. She had been shot at and that is how she found out who shot her father.

Death in the Afternoon (by Kate Chester and Guccione),
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Death in the Afternoon (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book, Death in the Afternoon, Hear No Evil. I started reading it with my classmates and teacher. We read a chapter almost every night and learned more and more facts about the characters. This novel was about a teenage girl, Sara Howell who is deaf, and lives with her older brother Steve. Sara's mother wasn't mentioned in the novel, but her father was killed in a hit and run accident. Sara and her brother become suspicious for who killed their father. Sara is being followed, and soon gets messages sent to her by a mysterious person. There are much more facts to what happened in this novel. If you want to know what happens next, you should read the novel for yourself. I liked the author's stile of writing. I especially liked how the author wrote,"gooseflesh," instead of,"goosebumps." The suspense of the book became pretty intense for me at times because you don't know what was going to happen next. I basically enjoyed this book at all times, if you are the kind of person who enjoys reading mystery books, I would definatly recommend this book to you. Sarah, age 12

Death in the Afternoon (Hear no evil 1),
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Death in the Afternoon (Paperback)
For my Reading class we read the book Death in the Afternoon (Hear no Evil 1) by Kate Chester. It was pretty good book. Some of the parts were very exciting while other parts were not. The characters of Sara & Steve were very intelligent thinkers. The plot was planned out very well by Kate Chester. It was very differnet to who the killer was then who I thought it was. The book almost seemed like it took place over a long period of time but it did not. But, If you like a a mystery stroy that is not to intense then this is a great book for you!

This a book that i couldn't put down.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Death in the Afternoon (Paperback)
I know it may not be important from a 12 year old kid to read this but this book is one of my favorites.Some people think I don't understand things like this but I do.This story made me cry made me laugh and it mad me happy.I had such a good time reading your book.I'll get the second one another time.But if you ever think about stopping writeing stories take my advicedon't becouse the stories you write make people smarter in an unique kind of way.I don't know what it is like to be deaf but i know alot about the deaf and that seemed to be from a deaf persons point of veiw. thanks for writeing good books.
