Book By Robert Fulghum Report by (Your Name Here)
Uh-Oh was written by Robert Fulghum, it is 244 pages long and was published
by Villard Books.
This book is a collection of small stories pertaining to the life of the
author, and also his opinions, thoughts, and philosophies. There are no specific
characters that are through the book except the author. This is not a novel, but
yet it does continue some of the ideas written in his previous books, All I
Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten and It Was On Fire When I Lay Down
On It. Some people may ponder the author's decision on the title, but it is
explained quite thoroughly in the book. At any time you may pick up this book
and read a section of it without having to read it from the start, and yet every
story and idea in the book flows right into the next. The sheer simplicity and
ease of reading is a pro, but still it is very detailed in every way. Here's one
thing though: if you didn't like the style of writing in his previous books,
chances are not much will change your opinion on this book from your opinion on
the last. The style of writing is very laid back, sort of a Sunday reader or one
that you can pick up in the bathroom from time to time.
I enjoyed reading this book so much the first time I had to read it again.
The second time was even better than the first, because of all the new things I
could understand. I love how nowhere on his book does it say “New York Times
Bestseller” because every other book on the shelf has it, but the author chooses
to be different. He knows he's a winner, and as long as the people know that, he
doesn't have to show it off. I also love that when I finish reading one of his
books it's like I've just been sitting right next to him for about 4 hours and
had a big conversation.
Book keep me interested and made me want to keep reading. I really don’t know if I would read
When one actually close-reads a small segment one realizes the large amount of information that can be said about just that segment. In this case it was only four pages from Fun Home, and each page seemed to have a life of its own. Page 14 touched upon the relationship between Bruce Bechdel and his family, while page fifteen gave insights into the father-daughter relationship. Then pages 16 and 17 dealt with hidden truths and the creation of false appearances. Then there were the the literary and graphical devices: the extensive use of line, the use of gray shading, stretched panels vs. compact panels, interdependent word-picture relationships, etc. the clear illustrations and relatively simple prose made the process a bit easier, but that opinion may have been different if the process involved close-reading the whole book.
Basically the book seems like an out line of the whole story and the book gets
it. This is one of the best written books I have ever read and, were it not so
"The paperback is very interesting but I find it will never replace the hardcover book -- it
This book was very confusing and disorganized. It was very hard to follow and the author
Now if I may go off the subject for a moment I would like to say how beautifully and descriptively the book is written. There is one passage in particular that I truly enjoyed reading :
Yes I would defiantly read something else by this author because I’ve like both of the books I’ve read by him.
Because this novel follows the "Who Done It" theme, there are the few obvious characters. 1) The inspector, always trying to get an accusation across as to who the murderer is(of course never correct). 2) The doctor, Devon Island's answer to the question nobody ever asked. 3) The old married couple (Mr. + Mrs. Rogers), always passionate to others, until a guest discovers an eerie secret.
...ater appreciate and learn several lessons from its theme and historical content. Overall, the novel is valued by many writers and will continue to be inspirational to all throughout the many generations to come.
I found the book to be easy, exciting reading because the story line was very realistic and easily relatable. This book flowed for me to a point when, at times, it was difficult to put down. Several scenes pleasantly caught me off guard and some were extremely hilarious, namely, the visit to Martha Oldcrow. I found myself really fond of the char...

At the beginning of the book, the writer puts you in the eyes of the

For me, what stood out the most about this book is just the beautiful writing. I didn’t think I was going to like the book when we first were assigned to read it. I just kept the writing flow, and it was very evenly paced, and I found myself genuinely interested in this crazy world of Macando.
