Summary: ~~*Cut*~~
Review: This book is great, it specifies Callie's thoughts and idea's. This book is very descriptive it covers everything from breathing patterns to questioning herself. Callie is a typical teenager, but Callie has a problem. She's a cutter, the rush of bleeding without pain. She was put in a rehab center called Sea Pines a.k.a. Sick Minds. Sea Pines cover all types of teens from eating disorders to drug problems. Cut is another book about another teen in a state of drama. Read this book, it's great. I'm just a 15 year old and I would recommend this book to anyone who can read. Who knows, it might just change your life.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cut, the best book i've ever read
Review: In this book you get into the life of a suicidal teen named Carrie. She is a normal teenage girl who used to live with her paranoid mother and her very asthmatic brother! I am a teenage girl who loves to read books about other peoples problems! Reading this book made me realise that my life isn't as hard as I thought! I reccomend this book to any one who likes very interesting books

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not up to Cut
Review: In "Cut", 15 year old Callie suffers through the trials of self-injury. Patricia McCormick, although seemingly has educated herself on cutting, fails to show its true effects. Having been personally involved in self-injury, I know that the author does not give an accurate depiction of what it's like to be a cutter. In reality it is much darker and harsher than in this book. Enjoyable, but not very realistic. Ms. McCormick would have benifited more from writing something shockingly true to life.

Summary: CUT!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: CUT

Patricia McCormick
ISBN 0-439-32459-9

What would you do if you found out your friend was cutting herself ? And then you found out she was going to a rehabilitation center!
Well, this is Callie's life. The book CUT is about a girl named Callie who is cutting herself and is now in a rehab center called "Sea Pines," but everyone there calls it, "Sick Minds".

Callie has classes everyday, things like group discussions, therapy, and free time. You may not know this but you're in this book! You're Callie's therapist! You help her with all her problems but you don't really do anything because Callie never talks. But one day you come and she's lying on the couch she's talking to you! You stand there stunned not knowing what to do but you manage to grab your note pad and write everything down.

I recommend this book because it has a very good moral and it's one of those books you just can't put down.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A book thaat will help you through some hard times.
Review: Cut is a magnificent book about how a young girl that gets ignored by her family and decides to deal with it by cutting her wrist. She can't handle it and she cuts a lot. She gets sent to a treatment facility to help her but she refuses to stop, and she refuses to talk. She finally cuts herself deep enough to where it accually hurts and she can't get it to stop bleeding. For someone that used to cut this book helped me a lot to deal with it. Trust me, you dont want to end up like her!! If you cut, Know some one that cuts or just like to read these type of books Cut is a great one to read.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Another Voice in the Same Spirit
Review: I'm a cutter, just like Callie, the main character. And I, have also experienced Callie's footsteps in a mental facility with others. I have to say that the book was pretty much accurate but the emotions were a bit teetery... First off, the plot is pretty bland at the beginning and I had a hard time searching for the real main conflict. What's really clawing and eating Callie? Why does she hurt herself? At the end, the resolution threw me off and I searched the book for hints that could've lead the reader to predict this resolution. I found about one or two but they were really vague to my mind. Second off, the story doesn't give too much about what goes on inside Callie's mind but more of the world around her. More of the physical and less of the emotional. I'd recommend this book to 11-13 year olds but I think a much more intense book about cutting could satisfy the interest of those older.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: McCormick falls short.
Review: The beginning of Cut by Patricia McCormick , is the only interesting , exciting and intense part of the entire novel. Once you get the idea of the story and get to know the characters there is nothing else to it. I felt like the whole time I was reading I was waiting for something interesting to happen . When I got to the end of the book and nothing new or exciting had happened I felt that I wasted my time. I would not recommend this book to any young adults because I feel the book would not hold the readers attention.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: TIME TO READ THIS !!!!!!!!
Review: CUT is by far one of the best books I've ever read.Callie is struggling with a disorder as a cutter. She is put into a treatment center. Since she is been there she hasn't talked to anybody.She has to learn to cope with her disease and talk about it.Her brother has severe asthma and her mother is crazy over it. Callies dad wont come and see her. This is Patrica McCormick's first book and she has certainly gotten off on the right foot with people who read this. I reccomend this book to who love drama. I'll defaintly be waiting for McCormick's second book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A realistic portrayal of pain some experience.
Review: Written from the standpoint of therapy sessions, Cut by Patricia McCormick is a short, yet powerful book.
Callie enters the treatment facility Sea Pines (or known to residents as "Sick Minds") and exchanges her troubles with a therapist. The book follows the events and emotions that have led Callie to begin cutting herself.
Although some of the book is written in the second-person, it is not difficult to read once you get in the groove of the book's format.
A highly-recommended books for ages as young as middle school.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent!
Review: Imagine being the only one who truly understands how you truly feel. Everyone around you tries everything they can do to help but you don't speak because deep down inside you know that they have no clue. Callie is a 15-year old girl who has a big feeling of guilt building up inside of her. This feeling of guilt started when her brother came down with an illness and for some reason Callie Blames herself. She, on her own, decides she needs to be punished and the punishment is so severe that she wants to take her life. With this, what Callie does not realize is that she's not cutting herself to be punished but cutting herself in response to her dysfunctional family. After being sent to "Sea Pines" or also known as "Sick Minds" to the girls that are staying there, Callie frequently finds a way to either commit suicide or try to severely hurt herself.
In this story you will travel back with Callie to the early childhood memories that she's had and how she starts realizing everything isn't her fault.
This book I think will have a big effect on a teenage girl who is struggling through life, or thinks the same way as Callie. I think a lot of girls will be able to relate to Callie. I really cant agree or disagree with this book because I haven't been in the same situation as Callie, but other girls might have and this is why it will be easy to relate too.
