Summary: An Insightful, Witty Book
Review: Speak is a deep book that makes you think. You can relate to the main character really well. I read it in one day. Sometimes I was thinking, "Well, that was really stupid of her!" but then I don't know what else she could have done. I love the ending. This is a book that everyone will enjoy, and addresses the issures of being left out and rape head-on.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Well-Spoken For
Review: This is a powerful novel. While I only read about three pages from a friends copy I stole in Lit class, it was very well written and deep. For those who aren't afraid of a little controversy-or stolen books.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Three Starts
Review: My thoughts on the book Speak is that is a good book. It shows what some peoples life is like in High School. Some kids do not have many friends, they get teased and made fun of or they just dont have any friends at all. The book focuses on a girl that once had many friends and because of an incident at a party, she has lost her friends. It was a good book, but some parts i did not enjoy.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Speak
Review: This book was a fairly good book. I like how the book starts of how Malinda is surviving of being an outcast. Later in the book, it tells on how she was an outcast. I feel that at that point when the reader knows what she did and why she did it, that the book now gets more interesting and the reader wants to find out what will happen with Malinda and her friends. The also tells about life in Highschool of being an outcast. After reading the book I feel that it is terribly hard for kids today to be at school day after day, week after week, being mad fun of and tortured. I would give this book 3 out of 5 stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Speak
Review: I thought that the book Speak by Laurie Halse was very interesting with a complicated plot and a dark sense of humor. It starts with the end of summer vacation focusing on a girl who spent the last three weeks of summer lying on her couch watching "bad cartoons" because her reputation and popularity was ruined when she called the cops and broke up a high school party. Her name is Melinda Sordino and she starts high school with no hopes and a secret. This book is all about how she survives her high school career. It deals with everything from relationships to skipping school. To find out how Melinda made it through her freshmen year of High School and to find out what her secret was read this book.
