Summary: CUTting edge
Review: If you have ever read SPEAK by Laurie Anderson, you will love CUT, written by Patricia McCormick. CUT is a thrilling, keep you reading, fiction book about a young girl named Callie and how she is dealing with her problems. Callie is at a "residential trearment facility" called Sea Pines because she cuts herself. While she is there, she becomes mute, and does not have any friends. Callie has to over come all of that, stop cutting herself, and realize that her brothers sickness is NOT her fault. Can Callie do this, or will she just take the easy way out and cut herself?
This book was excellent, and I would definently recomend it to any teenage girl.

Summary: Cut by: Patricia McCormick
Review: *Cut was about a girl named Callie who had a problem hurting herself with whatever was sharp enough. So, she had to go to a place called "Sea Pines, but the girls who went there called it "Sick Minds" because it was for people with all types of problems such as eating disorders, cutting, anger management, etc. Callie didn't like it there at all so she never talked. That's how she got the nickname S.T for silent treatment. Finally, she starts to talk in therapy and starts hanging out with the girl's there. She was getting better. She talked a lot about her brother, Sam. she thought she was the cause of him always being sick. She got tired of being in the institution so she ran away. She called her dad collect to come and pick her up at the nearest Dunkin Donuts. There she met a waitress who gave her a free donut and hot chocolate. Her dad came and suggested they go home but Callie thought about giving sea pines another chance and her dad drives her back. That's where the story ends.*the one scene that sticks out in the book is when the therapist is talking to Callie about her not talking. she says on (P.30), "Sometimes when we're in situations where we feel we're not in control, we do things; especially things that take a lot of energy, as a way of making ourselves feel we have some power." I think this quote is significant because it shows when you feel alone and helpless, you would do anything to make yourself seem unique and irreplaceable. *I think this book was very good. It can show people that they should be grateful for what they have. What Callie was doing in this story, I'm sure a lot of other teens are doing it. This book can help people stop and just think how thankful they should be for coming into this world normal or not having as many problems as these girls in this book. *I would recommend this book to anyone because it can help people through their problems and time of need.

Summary: Semi-Decent Young Adult Book
Review: Definately not a hard read for anyone, but an entertaining one at least. The characters are likeable, the descriptions true to life, and though the ending is rather abrupt, it doesn't take away from the book itself.

Summary: reality?
Review: the only thing that upset me about this book is that she is not in a psychiatric hospital. in fact, i can't figure out what it is. it's a combination of a psychiatric hospital and a residential program. for one thing, psychiatric hospitals are locked. secondly, they are short-term. rarely do you stay over two weeks, unless they are looking for other placement. and a hospital would not kick you out for not speaking. they can't do that. they may send you long term, but they wouldn't kick you out. technicalities aside, this book was very interesting. callie said a lot by choosing to stay silent. this book went into some of the reasons behind her self-injury, such as feeling responsible for her brother's illness and not getting enough support from her mother. ...

Review: Cut was a great book. It helped me through alot of my problems and helped me realize that I am not the only person with these peroblems. After I read the book I was convinced in getting help and trying to stop.

Summary: My Comments on the Book "Cut"
Review: I read "Cut" by Patricia McCormick for my College English course. I am glad that I choose this book. As you can tell from the title of the book, Callie cuts herself. She cuts herself to releave stress at home. Callie (the main character) is very interesting in the way she doesn't talk to anyone at first, at home or the Sea Pines, aka - Sick Minds, the Institue she is sent to to deal with her problem. Then with therapy, Callie learns that all her family problems are not her fault, and cutting herself will not help her escape those problems. With those thoughts running in her mind, Callie starts to come around. Talking to people and asking questions about her past.
I really enjoyed this book. It brought a sense of hope to me, the reader. The sense that I can work through any problems I have just by understanding the situation. I encourage as many people as possible to read this book.

Summary: Good Book, but not for me.
Review: I enjoyed the book very much. It has everything you could want. I picked it up in my English class as an assingment, but it was so much more for me. I self-harm, how the book was put in front of me; or even further, why the book was put in front of me, I don't know. I have talked to a few other people who have read the book who also self injure. They came up with the same conclusion I had, If your looking to stop cutting; don't read the book. Through the beginning and middle it has a force that makes you want to cut more and more, and I did. On the other side, if you dont self injure and are looking to find out more about it, or just find a good book you found it.
