Summary: Compromises the Issue
Review: Though the book was okay, it didn't give good vision of the issues the girls at Sea Pines faced, as I had hoped it would. It doesn't depict Callie's dependence on cutting and she was all too eager to stop. There was definitely something missing from the book. And I'm sorry but it is not that easy to escape from a mental hospital.

Summary: Cut
Review: The book I read was "Cut." The book was interesting with all the different things she did. When I read the book, it felt like I was actually in the story, and I could see all the different things that was happening in my mind.
In one chapter she was running in a cross country meet, and she blanked out and ran home. Then when she got home she ound herself bored. So, she cut herself for the first time, and then she watched the blood run on to the floor.
If you like books that flow and are very interesting, then I suggest you read "Cut." YOU SHOULD REALLY READ IT!!

Summary: My Review on Cut
Review: If you like books that you can get caught up in and never put down you would love Cut. It is a very detailed explanation of a girl who cuts herself and her struggles on the way to caring and her road to success. This book about Callie likes to cut herself because it seems as though it washes away the pain. Although she is put into a treatment facility she still sometimes has the urge to just make a little cut. This is an incredible and exciting book.
I would recomend this book for teens and young adults, like myself, who like realistic real life stories that are exciting and a little mind boggling at times to think a person would do this. This is one of my favorite books.

Review: Cut:
I would say if you like a compelling novel,and that is non-fiction try Cut... This book is a very good mystery book that even has a bit of action. It can be sad also so be prepared to cry a little. I love this book because it keeps you in suspense, and lets you in a page at a time which keeps you comming back for more. i finished this book in 2 days i could hardly put it down to go to sleep.
This book is good because of what happens. This girl named Callie has a few issues that she has to sort through at what the girls call 'Sick Minds' a hospital for girls like her. Callie has a lot of pressure to sort through and she does it by cutting herself,but never enough to kill herself. She does not want to kill herself no matter what they think she just wants the pain to go away. if you want to find out more read this compelling novel I promise you will love this book as much as I did.
I would recommend this to everyone who thinks that THEY have issues to deal with. I loved this book and hope that you will to. This book is a little challenging but i hope you will consider reading it.

Summary: Cut to me was one of the deepest books id read at that time
Review: I read this book last year because for some odd reason i like to read books about real people. Cut is a very intense book about a girl who cuts herself. I got alot of strange looks reading this book during school and some kids thought i was sick or something but i really thought this is a good book. I dont think that you need to know more about her and the way she cuts herself like some other people said, you just really know whats going on around her with breif passages to her past. I reccomend this book to anyone i enjoyed it.

Summary: Real Life Issues
Review: Cut by Patricia McCormick tells the chilling story of a teenage girl with an unusual addiction: cutting herself. This story goes inside a residential treatment facility to expose the world of teenage mental and behavior disorders. The most powerful aspect of this story is how easily it is to relate to the main character, Callie. Callie's story is not extreme: she feels that her family doesn't pay much attention to her, and she blames herself for her brother's illness. She finds relief in cutting herself. This works well for her until the school nurse notices her scares. Callie suddenly finds her self at Sea Pines, a residential treatment facility for teenage girls.
McCormick dives right into the thoughts and minds of this teenage girl as Callie is the narrator, and the story is told as if she is talking to her therapist. This book raises some important questions. When is a young person old enough to read a book that so vividly tells the story of girls who struggle with such heavy issues? Should issues such as suicide, self mutilation, pain and depression be discussed with children? How should these issues be discussed? McCormick describes a dark and grim reality for many teenagers today. Is it important for teenagers to be aware of such things? It is so easy to relate to Callie, so easy that it is scary for the reader to think "that could be me." Will Cut give teenagers a sense of hopelessness, or a sense of hope? This book starts out seemingly hopeless, with Callie refusing to talk to anyone, not even using her vocal cords. Eventually, as the reader goes on, a sense of control is gain. There is a sense that all is not hopeless, that Callie does have control over her situation.
This book is not to be taken lightly. This type of situation is very real for many teenagers and adults all over the world. Teenagers need to know that. Even so, this book should not be read without discussion. This book addresses some important, yet difficult issues that should not be looked over by anyone: adults or teenagers.

Summary: CUT
Review: I recently read "Cut", by Patricia McCormick. "Cut" is a well-written book, and I found it quite easy to relate to. The issues the characters deal with in "Cut" are issues young adults around the world face daily. Callie reminds me a little bit of myself. But she reminds me more of some of my friends, trying to make sense of the world they live in, and trying to cope with it in any way that they possibly can. (Page 3) " Then I placed the blade next to the skin on my palm. A tingle arched across my scalp. "The floor tipped up to me and my body spiraled away. Then I was on the ceiling looking down, waiting to see what would happen next. What happened next was that a perfect straight line of blood bloomed from under the edge of the blade. The line grew into a long, fat bubble, a lush crimson bubble that got bigger and bigger. I watched from above, waiting to see how big it would get before it burst. When it did I felt awesome. Satisfied, finally. Then exhausted."
I believe the theme of "Cut" is that, every one has problems, and everyone deals with them in different ways, but no one can help you deal with your problems unless you allow them. I agree with the theme. I have problems and so does everybody I know. Sometimes I want to deal with a problem on my own and no matter how hard people try to help me it will never work unless I allow them to.
I recommend "Cut" to young adults, and adults especially those who are parents. I recommend "Cut" to young adults, because they can easily relate to the characters in the story. I think Cut can help adults to understand what young adults deal with, and to possibly remind them of what they went through when they were Callie's age.

Summary: Yay
Review: This book was well written and is an easy read. I just sat down and read it in an hour. S.T.'s story draws your attention so that you are continually wondering what is going to happen next. The story is based in a rehabilitation center named "Sea Pines" for young adults with "problems" (forgive me, lack of better word) such as: eating disorders, and cutting yourselve. There is a group of young women whom all relate to eachother in some way. It's an enlightening story about hope and conquering.
