Narration Toward Books Deathwatch

Madec was not the kind of man Ben would ordinarily have chosen as a companion for a quiet hunting trip. The only time Madec ever laughed was when he told some story about how smart he was. He was a cold man who liked to hurt things and he was dangerous with a gun. But Ben needed money to pay for another semester at college, and so when Madec offered to hire him as a guide to hunt bighorn sheep in the desert mountains, he agreed. It was a mistake that very nearly cost Ben his life.

Comment On Containing Books Deathwatch

Deathwatchis a good, solid juvenile suspense novel, In fact, it won the Edgar Award for best juvenile mystery in 1973. The copy I read was grabbed from my classroom library, and it originally came from a stack of discarded books I rescued from the library of the high school where I teach. Reading it reminded me of why I liked Robb White so much when I read Secret Sea, Up Periscope, and The Survivor back in the fifth and sixth grades. Oddly enough, my freshman English students had just last week

I read this in 6th grade and thought it was great, but I must have blocked out the ending because it's terrible. The dude pretty much gets hunted for sport and finally gets back to town, and everyone immedialty calls him a liar (even his family). The only plausable explanation to how awful everyone in town acts, is that Ben is a really big jerk, and everyone hated him already and wanted to see him burn for something random.

This was a very well written book. The setting is in a desert with two guys named Ben and Madec. The action from this book just kept pulling me into it just like it pulled my friend in. My friend explained how I really needed to read this book. So I gave it a shot. I read that they were suppose to go hunting, but then I ended up finding out there was a plot twist. Madec started hunting Ben down surprisingly. I thought author did a very good job of describing what was happening and explained the

Somehow, regardless of my years of reading and teaching YA literature, I managed to miss Robb White's survival story, Deathwatch. The only reason it wound up on my Nook is because my incoming 10th grade students have to read it over their summer vacation. Survival and action are not my genres (along with sic-fi and fantasy), but I was intrigued by the man vs wild and man vs man story line. Furthermore, the cat and mouse game between Ben, a college bound teenager, and Madec, acrooked businessman



this was a great book and would highly recommend if you like to hunt r if you like mystery or both subjects at the same time but be warned this is a very hard book at times to follow along with and will even be boring to a hunter I would know because I am one myself but how they work up to one event after another is slow and could use some work in only that area

Robb White, Deathwatch (Doubleday, 1972)When I was a kid-- say, from about three years old until high school-- I did a lot more rereading than I do now. In fact, there were some books I read and re-read so much that I ended up having to buy copies to replace those I'd worn down. I think everyone does this with a kids' picture book or two, but there were three novels I did it with in fifth and sixth grade. One of them was Wilson Rawls' Where the Red Fern Grows. I think I went through three copies
