The Cardturner: A Novel about a King, a Queen, and a Joker by Louis Sachar
4.0
I'm giving "The Cardturner" 3.5 stars. 3 stars for the actual story and .5 stars for the bridge facts.
When I learned in the beginning that Alton was going to spend time with Uncle Lester just to get his money I thought "Okay, people have hard times I know that" but the lengths his mom went to was drastic and a bit rude. Also, it seemed like they were counting and recieving every last penny Trapp had. I didn't like Cliff whats so ever because it seemed like he was always stealing any potiental girl from Alton. That was the story that I gave 3 stars but I had kind of wanted to know how bridge worked and there were many facts worth learning... and I didn't understand anything that was going on... so okay. It was worth the read and I'm glad to add it to my read shelve.
