Seymour The Formerly Fearful

Review by RKS

I loved this book soooo much. I love how Pesach (Seymour's Israeli cousin) slowly made Seymour a gever ( Hebrew word for strong person). You should definitely get this book.

Seymour, the Formerly Fearful

Review by rimako

If you're a big scardy cat, you might relate to this book. I think it's really good. Another reason to get this book is that it is very funny, although sometimes sad (Seymour blames himself for something he did't actually do). Overall, I think this is a great book and you should definitely get it.
