Cut

Rating:
Summary: Absolutely dissapointing.
Review: Cut, is absolutely unrealistic. No one just stops a problem that quickly. It takes so much time and effort. I did like the perspective of the book when it was at the therepist visits. This is a great book for those who like to believe mainstream, stereotypical lies.

In the opinion of a twelve year old. (:

Summary: WARNING-SPOILER ALERT!!! C'mon people!
Review: We're not supposed to know why she cuts herself. It's told in the firts person. We are Callie. This is why we visit the counseler-to find out why we are cutting ourselves! SPOILER ALERT!!! That is why she goes back to 'Sick Minds'. I like this book because it does cover different issues. Maybe there is a part II in the works. I think the title is misleading. The emotional parts of the book to me was when she -SPOILER ALERT!!! speaks. Maybe call the book "Cut Mute":)

Summary: Helps you understand what cutting really is
Review: 15-year-old Callie is a cutter. Anything that's sharp enough to break the skin and tear her away from the clinic she's been sent to is her idea of paradise. She keeps herself isolated from the others and doesn't speak to anyone. She keeps her opinions and answers locked inside where they can't be heard. But when a new girl shows up with the same problem, Callie learns it's better to talk.

It's was a great book, especially if you know someone who is going through the same thing.

Summary: Self mutilation never sounded so bad
Review: Patricia McCormick's Cut is a review of all major medical problems facing today's youth. Callie, a cutter, is sent off to a troubled youth center with other girls that each have unique reasons to be there, such as anorexia and bulimia.
The book tells the story of a girl dealing with her problem and quite frankly; I don't think the other does very well writing about the problem. The book doesn't provide the clueless with reasons for cutting, something that needs to be known to relate, understand, and prevent the cutting obsession. Also, it doesn't seem like much research was done before the writing of the book. The girl McCormick writes about contradicts many traits of the real-life mutilator. One of my long-time friends is in counseling for cutting. Everything she says, the reasons and the defense, is absolutely gut wrenching. Cut doesn't deal with any of these and not once did I get the same emotions as I did from my friend. Even without relating to real life, Cut's storyline is somewhat boring and lacking all creativity. I'm sure there's a better book out there about teen self-mutilation; so don't waste your time with this one.
