Cut

Summary: Unrealistic!
Review: Erm, I hated this book. I myself am a self-injurer and I thought this book just awful. The ending was very dissapointing, and unrealistic. I wouldn't have even given it one star but I had to give it something. My opinion- don't waste your time.

Summary: not descriptive
Review: Cut was interesting, but i was looking for a book that could paint a picture of the situation and this one didnt. It should have told you more about when she was cutting. Sorry Patricia McCormick, but i only give cut 2stars

Review: It was the most wonderful book I've ever read. It was a very entertaining book, I'd recomend it any teen. Even though it's not a very challenging book to read it sure was a great book about dealing with emotions and stress and family ties. It was great and I can't wait to read another one of Patrica's books!

Summary: EXCELLENT!
Review: in my opinion this is one of the best books ever. When i read it i felt like it totally understood me and it had all the anger i was repressing. This book kind of gave me hope that even if you cut you CAN Get better. This book made me stop. I thought if callie can do it i can too!

Summary: MY CUT REVIEW
Review: i enjoyed reading the book Cut because it shows the reader the experiences and emotions that some people strugle through when they need or have to cut themselves. it relieves their stress so they feel like they have nothing else to worry about. well, that's what it seemed to do for the main character (Callie) since she couldn't stop cutting herself.....even when people offered their help to her.

Summary: Married to a cutter
Review: This book was very real, and I am sure that many people who cut will identify with the story. My sister was a cutter and that was terrifying, for the whole family. If you have ever read SIREN'S DANCE (his wife was a cutter), you will know what I mean. I hope that this book will lead to people recognizing that cutting is a sign of a serious mental condition and that they get help. Don't read this book if you are easily triggered.

Summary: Cut
Review: Patricia McCormick's nonfiction book Cut is a breathtaking, dramatic, realistic fiction novel about a girl named Callie. Callie was a runner until she lost a competition. She start to cut herself and her mom and dad get worried and send her to an institution. The institution is where the book takes pace. In the institution there are other girls who are anorexic, who smoke, and other things. Every day the girls have to go see a counselor who tries to get Callie to talk.
At the institution Callie meets Amanda who cuts herself too. Amanda starts making Callie's life more complex, and that makes Callie start to talk. Callie is trying to over come cutting herself, and life.
I think Patricia McCormick made her book for ages 13-20. This book is an excellent, and outstanding. If you liked the novel Fever then you will most likely like Cut. Cut is full of action and drama. This novel is a "have-to-have" novel, so go buy it, now.

Review: A Review by Jillian

The book Cut is about a girl who cuts her wrists but not deep enough to kill herself just enough to relive herself of stress and frustration. She goes to a mental illness hospital for this reason. After a few months she is very willing to get the needed help from the people and move on with her life. She didn't talk to anyone for a very long time. She gets the help needed and is getting better gradually.

I liked the book because it was real and not fake like what people want to hear. It showed what people do sometimes and the things they go through. I like the part were she ran away from the hospital. I didn't like how the book just ended after her dad brought her back to the hospital. I think it would have been better if it showed the aftermath of her life. Over all it was a pretty good book. It showed real life probl4ems most writers and people don't talk about.

This is a book foe people that like real life problem. It's pretty easy to understand. But in the beginning it might be a little hard.

Summary: Cut by Patricia McCormick Lauren M.
Review: The main character in this book is Callie. Throughtout the book, it tells you that Callie is going through a lot in life, such as family problems. She is usually in stress, and to get of her problems and stress, she finds anything sharp, such as metal, and cuts her wrists with it to make her feel better. She has been doing this since she was little and when her parents divorced. Right now she is at a place called Sea Pines which gives every girls who is sent there, help with whatever problem they have. Every girl in there calls Sea Pines, Sick Minds. What they do there is they have what they call Group where they tell eachother what they do and what is on there minds. They also have therapists to talk to everyday. Callie doesn't really talk to anybody because she isn't really social. But the other girls always try to talk to her.
Throughout this book, there has been some literary elements. One literary element is a flashback. Callie went back to where she was suppose to watch her brother Sam. She had to make sure that he ate dinner and then take his inhaler. Well, she went out of the room, and he started to have an asthma attack. She came and he was on the floor. The ambulance came and she regreted that time. Another literary element is foreshadowing. She keeps on thinking about getting out of Sick Minds and seeing her family together again. One more literary element is she uses imagery. Callie uses imagery by thinking about her, Sam, her mom and her dad sitting at the breakfast table all together.
My personal opinion about Cut is I actually liked it! When I first got it, I didn't think I would like it that much. The title didn't really catch my attention, but when I read the back, I thought I might give it a shot. I really got into the book and whenI finished it, I loved it! All of my friends who read it, told me that it was a great book. Now I recommend it to everyone!

Summary: A Real-Life Story
Review: This is a book that really shows what a person who cuts themself can be thinking. I used to cut myself. I started when I was twelve years old. I'm not proud of it, but it gave me insight on things. This book is really good for... well, describing what it's like to have the need to cut yourself, and what it can do to you. I had a very similar experience to Callie's, except that Callie was 15 and I was 14. Anyway, you came here to read a review, not me yakking on about my meaningless life.

Cut is a really good book about a girl named Callie who cuts herself (hence the title). She is in an institution, and she doesn't talk. The other girls talk, the girls with eating disorders and drug abuse, that sort of thing. Then a new girl comes, with the same problem that Callie has, except that Amanda, the new girl, shows off her scars with pride. This starts an emotional trip for Callie, and you, as the reader, follow her through every step of the way.
