The book Curiosity is a wonderful book, if you call making some tall tales okay. The Book Curiosity is wrote by Gary Blackwood. Since I tend to not like books about historical items, and  nonfiction, or particle nonfiction this book changed that. Also this is a book for all ages. This book teaches different lessons depending on the different ages, for little kids do not work for jerks, and get what you deserve. For the older people, if something does not go your way there is usually a bright reaction to that.

The summary for the book in my opinion is. First, there is a little kid named Rufus who has a deformed back and is home schooled, and loves to read also, he can beat anyone in chess. Latter his dad goes to jail his mother is dead he goes to a juvenile school, and gets out. Then, he gets a job, for a guy named Maelzel who can be a jerk. Rufus then  starts operating the Turk (which is a chess automaton). Jacques says to rufus when he stops working since he is not getting paid “You should let him have his way, Bebe. He will see you starve to death before he gives in.After about half a year of operating the Turk he is fired, and goes back to the juvenile school. You will have to read the book to find out the rest.

The genre of this book is fiction, nonfiction, mystery, and action. I personally like the writing style. Also, it does have some sad parts to the book, and it can be funny sort of there are no pictures though, and the book is about 300 pages with medium size text so you could finish it in a week end. The way I felt about the book is it was a good book for me because I know some things about the Turk, but you do not need to know anything about the Turk, also I though it had a right lesson that could be learned about it. The reason why is because i have read some really good books, with great lessons for all ages, and some really bad lessons for all ages, and some terrible books with terrible lessons for all ages, and great lessons for all ages. Well Thank for reading my book review.
