	The Young Man and the Sea WebQuest: Interview w/ Author
		Rodman I haven't read the Hemingway story since I was in high school, but obviously it made a big impression.
		Rodman There is for me! As many of my readers already know, before I was able to write for a living I worked with my hands, and most of the work had to do with boats.
		Rodman I started out wanting to be a literary innovator, much more concerned with the style and complexity of the prose than with the story itself.

	Freak The Mighty (Scholastic Signature): Current Amazon U.S.A. One-Edition Data
		Philbrick's first YA novel, already implausible, becomes choked with cliches and stereotypes as Max and Freak mix with B-movie lowlifes, a newly paroled Killer Kane kidnaps his son and Freak himself meets a cloyingly articulated fate.
		Philbrick's novel is wonderfully humanistic; there's just something so reassuring in the human race about the thought of the giant Max walking with the enthusiastic three-and-a-half foot Kevin hoisted onto his shoulders.
		Funny at times, tragic in moments, Freak the Mighty, by Rodman Philbrick, is one of the best recent books for high elementary and middle school students.

	Education World ® : Books in Education: The Last Book in the Universe
		In The Last Book in the Universe, Philbrick presents a chillingly believable society in which books and storytelling have all but disappeared, leaving people cut off from their past and therefore from the future.
		In this impressive new young adult novel, Rodman Philbrick provides a convincing look at a bleak future society in which local "latchbosses" use gangs of thugs to maintain power over select sections of the "Urb" -- the ruins of a former great city.
		Philbrick, whose earlier young adult novels include the much-acclaimed Freak the Mighty, is adept at combining tense and suspenseful scenes with more descriptive segments that vividly portray the levels of degradation to which the people of the Urb have fallen.

		Best known for his young adult novels (Freak the Mighty), Philbrick swerves from his usual path with this adults-only supernatural horror show, certainly not for the squeamish or faint of heart.
		The body count is high, and Philbrick uses gloomy, graphic and gory means to dispatch the victims, but the story lacks suspense and pegs very low on the spooky meter.
		COFFINS is the first novel by Rodman Philbrick that I have read.
