Rating: Summary: online book review Review: The book I have recently finished is called Cut. It is about a girl named Callie who is placed in a treatment center called Sea Pines. The girls in treatment have realized that Callie hasn't been talking ever since she got there. She won't talk to them she won't even talk to her own parents. Her case is that she is a cutter. Until Sydney her roomate starts to talk to her about how she doesn't want to see her cutting herself or hurting herself in any form or way. When Callie decides to talk for the first time everybody is in shock. The other girls who are in for treatment have problems such as anorexia, cutting and obisity. When a new girl Amanda come's in Callie finds out that she is in for cutting her wrists aswell. Then she comes to the conculsion of why she is cutting herself. Overall I enjoyed this book because I like reading about books that are real and what people are really going through in the "real" world. People who would enjoy this book would be if you don't like to read about the same old book's about love that you already know the ending too.
Rating: Summary: Cut excedes expectations Review: I felt like I was in the book and I was going through all of the things that Callie was going through with her. I couldn't put it down. "Cut" deals with a series fo real-life problems like eating disorders and self-mutilation. Callie cut herself to relieve pain and stress. It helped me understand other people do this and I can stop if I put some effort into it and get help. This is the best book I've ever read.
Rating: Summary: Amazing BOOK!! Review: i have read this book over and over again. I own it and i love it! I am a cutter myself and being able to relate to a story like this is great. I wish more books were writen in this way! I recomend you reading this you won't be dissapointed
Rating: Summary: ~~*Cut*~~ Review: This book is great, it specifies Callie's thoughts and idea's. This book is very descriptive it covers everything from breathing patterns to questioning herself. Callie is a typical teenager, but Callie has a problem. She's a cutter, the rush of bleeding without pain. She was put in a rehab center called Sea Pines a.k.a. Sick Minds. Sea Pines cover all types of teens from eating disorders to drug problems. Cut is another book about another teen in a state of drama. Read this book, it's great. I'm just a 15 year old and I would recommend this book to anyone who can read. Who knows, it might just change your life.
Rating: Summary: Cut, the best book i've ever read Review: In this book you get into the life of a suicidal teen named Carrie. She is a normal teenage girl who used to live with her paranoid mother and her very asthmatic brother! I am a teenage girl who loves to read books about other peoples problems! Reading this book made me realise that my life isn't as hard as I thought! I reccomend this book to any one who likes very interesting books
Rating: Summary: Not up to Cut Review: In "Cut", 15 year old Callie suffers through the trials of self-injury. Patricia McCormick, although seemingly has educated herself on cutting, fails to show its true effects. Having been personally involved in self-injury, I know that the author does not give an accurate depiction of what it's like to be a cutter. In reality it is much darker and harsher than in this book. Enjoyable, but not very realistic. Ms. McCormick would have benifited more from writing something shockingly true to life.
Rating: Summary: CUT!!!!!!!!!!! Review: CUT Push printing, 2000, 151 pp.,... Patricia McCormick ISBN 0-439-32459-9 What would you do if you found out your friend was cutting herself ? And then you found out she was going to a rehabilitation center! Well, this is Callie's life. The book CUT is about a girl named Callie who is cutting herself and is now in a rehab center called "Sea Pines," but everyone there calls it, "Sick Minds". Callie has classes everyday, things like group discussions, therapy, and free time. You may not know this but you're in this book! You're Callie's therapist! You help her with all her problems but you don't really do anything because Callie never talks. But one day you come and she's lying on the couch she's talking to you! You stand there stunned not knowing what to do but you manage to grab your note pad and write everything down. I recommend this book because it has a very good moral and it's one of those books you just can't put down.
Rating: Summary: A book thaat will help you through some hard times. Review: Cut is a magnificent book about how a young girl that gets ignored by her family and decides to deal with it by cutting her wrist. She can't handle it and she cuts a lot. She gets sent to a treatment facility to help her but she refuses to stop, and she refuses to talk. She finally cuts herself deep enough to where it accually hurts and she can't get it to stop bleeding. For someone that used to cut this book helped me a lot to deal with it. Trust me, you dont want to end up like her!! If you cut, Know some one that cuts or just like to read these type of books Cut is a great one to read.
Rating: Summary: Another Voice in the Same Spirit Review: I'm a cutter, just like Callie, the main character. And I, have also experienced Callie's footsteps in a mental facility with others. I have to say that the book was pretty much accurate but the emotions were a bit teetery... First off, the plot is pretty bland at the beginning and I had a hard time searching for the real main conflict. What's really clawing and eating Callie? Why does she hurt herself? At the end, the resolution threw me off and I searched the book for hints that could've lead the reader to predict this resolution. I found about one or two but they were really vague to my mind. Second off, the story doesn't give too much about what goes on inside Callie's mind but more of the world around her. More of the physical and less of the emotional. I'd recommend this book to 11-13 year olds but I think a much more intense book about cutting could satisfy the interest of those older.
Rating: Summary: McCormick falls short. Review: The beginning of Cut by Patricia McCormick , is the only interesting , exciting and intense part of the entire novel. Once you get the idea of the story and get to know the characters there is nothing else to it. I felt like the whole time I was reading I was waiting for something interesting to happen . When I got to the end of the book and nothing new or exciting had happened I felt that I wasted my time. I would not recommend this book to any young adults because I feel the book would not hold the readers attention.
