Speak

Summary: The Dragon Lady
Review: I thought this book was very good. The plot slowly draws you into the story of Melinda, who has not been able to speak since the party. She is humiliated, embarassed, and tramatized.
The way Laurie Halse Anderson writes is very powerful, and clearly expresses the pain that Melinda is coping with
Anyway, this book is a voice crying out for us to understand the outcasts. Listen to them.

Review: Speak is a wonderful book that almost all girls can relate to. This book is about a girl named Melinda. Melinda feels like she's on the outside. This book will keep you interested from the very moment you set your eyes on the book form the moment you turn the very last page!

Summary: 5 is the most stars i can give
Review: This is a great book and i think if you want to read it you should. If a teacher recomends it or if anyone recomends it read it. It is amazing that someone can write a book with such a distinct plot and a way to get everyone looking through a different view. I personally thought it was great and I would read it over and over again.

Summary: Speak speaks to me
Review: Melinda is a freshmen is high school, and a total and complete outcast. She called the cops at THE event of the summer. No one knows why, no one understands.
IT haunts her. IT follows her. IT stalks her. IT keeps her mouth shut. IT scares her. IT haunts her. Who or what is it? Only the people who have read it will understand what IT is.
The only thing that can pull her through is art. Trees. Trees and art. And a chance.
Speak is one of my personal favorite books. I couldn't stop reading from the moment I picked it up. Melinda's experiences are soo real. Anyone can understand once they have picked it up.

Summary: Speak
Review: I have never been touched by a book. I have never been emotionally attached to the main character, relating to them, crying for them, laughing at the things they think or say. Speak did all of those things for me. Its a brillant book. Truely brillant. The symbollism in it is also extremely simple to spot, yet still brillant. Theres no other word for it, just brilliant. You get inside Melinda's mind. You feel for her. The ending is so gripping, so perfect. She has to do a tree project in art and she just cant get it right. She has a tree in her front yard that has a dead branch, and in order to live the branch needs to be cut off. As soon as she realizes she needs to saw the dead branch, so to speak, off of her spiritual tree, she cant live and she wont get her tree for art right. The description of her teachers is hilarious and perfect.. Read this book. Its my favorite book of all time and ive re-read it millions of times.
