Speak

Summary: CLASSIC!
Review: In this contemporary story, we are taken inside the head of the protagonist as we follow her through a lonely and painful year. Don't let that last statement give you the idea this book is a downer. It deals with a difficult subject realistically, but it also shows the ability of a strong individual to survive in difficult times.

Melinda has started her freshman year on a decidedly wrong foot. Everyone in school is mad at her because she called 911 at an end of summer party, bringing the cops in and getting a lot of people in trouble. Even her closest friends have pulled away from her.

Telling more in my meager words would do a disservice to this well-crafted novel. Suffice it to say that Anderson has given us a masterpiece and in the process proven that teen literature can be moving, literate, "in-touch", important, and, most importantly, OF INTEREST TO TEENS, all at the same time. Other books I recommend: The Perks of Being a Wall-Flower, The Losers' Club by Richard Perez

Review: This Book was a book that I could not even finish! It was too descriptive and had terrible language. I can not believe that any YOUNG ADULT should be reading it.

Summary: my favorite book of all time
Review: I'm sorry that i don't have time for a better review...but i couldn't leave without giving this book 5 stars. I read ALOT of books- i like them alot and this is by far my favorite. i feel so close to Melinda. I was frightened when she was frightened, angry when she was angry, and i cried with her along the way. Anderson has found the perfect way to put the heart of a teenage girl on paper.

Review: Speak is a about a girl named Melinda, she was 14 years old. When she was in her summer vacation she went to a party at her friends house and she met a guy name Andy, he raped her and then he left her alone. She was afraid and she called the police and she run away. So when she went back to school none of her friends wanted to talk to her. She didn't had no friends. She was very good in art, she had a teacher that helped her in art a lot. She met a really good friend named Ivy and she realized she had a problem so then everything got better by the time. Then all her friends talked to her again when she finally told people about it. She just needed to speak.

Summary: I couldn't put this book down!
Review: This book was one of the greatest books I have ever read. I read this book in a little more than a day because I wanted to know what happened to Melinda (the main character) since Anderson doesn't give away the entire conflict in the beginning. I'm a ninth grader like Melinda, and I could relate to her feelings throughout the book. Even though I've never been in a situation like hers, I understood and felt all of the emotions that she felt. For the past two days as I've been reading "Speak" the book was all I could think about. Read this book, and I know you'll love it.

Summary: Speak Review
Review: I did not like speak as much as i thought i would. I felt as though the book was boring and did not seem to have much setting change. The one part of the book i liked was the ending because of the twist it had. I did not think that the plot of the book about a girl who calls the cops on a party in the summer that she lost all of her friends over could have been written better. Overall i did not like this book.
