Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Domanic H


We read Remembering the Good Times a book about someone who takes their own life because they had a problem that they couldnt figure it out. I thought this book would be boring and it kind of was until the part where Trav dies. The story starts out telling how Kate, Buck, and Trav meet when Skeeter blew up in class by yelling at Mrs. Slater and Trav just goes up to Skeeter and puts his hands on his and Skeeter calmed down. After school they would always hang out unless someone had to do something and then the others hung out. After school and sometimes on weekends they would go to Kates house and play card games with Polly, who is Kates aunt the third oldest person in Slocum.
When the dance came Polly helped Kate, Buck, and Trav find costumes for the dance. After the dance, Kate does up to Skeeter and they go for a walk and then a car stops and someone gets out and starts beating Skeeter up. Kate says she had a plan to get back at Skeeter by telling Mr. Slater how Skeeter is sexually abusing his wife. Skeeter never came back to Slocum school. Later on in the book, some people rob the gas station where Buck works and someone ends up killing Scotty. Trav gets in trouble for steeling toys and gets sent to his cousins farm for the summer and when he gets back he looks buff. Now to get to the part where Trav commits suicide. In school, Kate and Buck get told they both need to go to Kates house fast, when they got there they where told Trav committed suicide in the orchard. That is what I think of the book Remembering the Good Times.
