Summary: TIME TO READ THIS !!!!!!!!
Review: CUT is by far one of the best books I've ever read.Callie is struggling with a disorder as a cutter. She is put into a treatment center. Since she is been there she hasn't talked to anybody.She has to learn to cope with her disease and talk about it.Her brother has severe asthma and her mother is crazy over it. Callies dad wont come and see her. This is Patrica McCormick's first book and she has certainly gotten off on the right foot with people who read this. I reccomend this book to who love drama. I'll defaintly be waiting for McCormick's second book.

Summary: A realistic portrayal of pain some experience.
Review: Written from the standpoint of therapy sessions, Cut by Patricia McCormick is a short, yet powerful book.
Callie enters the treatment facility Sea Pines (or known to residents as "Sick Minds") and exchanges her troubles with a therapist. The book follows the events and emotions that have led Callie to begin cutting herself.
Although some of the book is written in the second-person, it is not difficult to read once you get in the groove of the book's format.
A highly-recommended books for ages as young as middle school.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: Imagine being the only one who truly understands how you truly feel. Everyone around you tries everything they can do to help but you don't speak because deep down inside you know that they have no clue. Callie is a 15-year old girl who has a big feeling of guilt building up inside of her. This feeling of guilt started when her brother came down with an illness and for some reason Callie Blames herself. She, on her own, decides she needs to be punished and the punishment is so severe that she wants to take her life. With this, what Callie does not realize is that she's not cutting herself to be punished but cutting herself in response to her dysfunctional family. After being sent to "Sea Pines" or also known as "Sick Minds" to the girls that are staying there, Callie frequently finds a way to either commit suicide or try to severely hurt herself.
In this story you will travel back with Callie to the early childhood memories that she's had and how she starts realizing everything isn't her fault.
This book I think will have a big effect on a teenage girl who is struggling through life, or thinks the same way as Callie. I think a lot of girls will be able to relate to Callie. I really cant agree or disagree with this book because I haven't been in the same situation as Callie, but other girls might have and this is why it will be easy to relate too.

Summary: Unrealistic!
Review: Erm, I hated this book. I myself am a self-injurer and I thought this book just awful. The ending was very dissapointing, and unrealistic. I wouldn't have even given it one star but I had to give it something. My opinion- don't waste your time.

Summary: not descriptive
Review: Cut was interesting, but i was looking for a book that could paint a picture of the situation and this one didnt. It should have told you more about when she was cutting. Sorry Patricia McCormick, but i only give cut 2stars

Summary: Cut
Review: It was the most wonderful book I've ever read. It was a very entertaining book, I'd recomend it any teen. Even though it's not a very challenging book to read it sure was a great book about dealing with emotions and stress and family ties. It was great and I can't wait to read another one of Patrica's books!

Summary: EXCELLENT!
Review: in my opinion this is one of the best books ever. When i read it i felt like it totally understood me and it had all the anger i was repressing. This book kind of gave me hope that even if you cut you CAN Get better. This book made me stop. I thought if callie can do it i can too!

Summary: MY CUT REVIEW
Review: i enjoyed reading the book Cut because it shows the reader the experiences and emotions that some people strugle through when they need or have to cut themselves. it relieves their stress so they feel like they have nothing else to worry about. well, that's what it seemed to do for the main character (Callie) since she couldn't stop cutting herself.....even when people offered their help to her.

Summary: Married to a cutter
Review: This book was very real, and I am sure that many people who cut will identify with the story. My sister was a cutter and that was terrifying, for the whole family. If you have ever read SIREN'S DANCE (his wife was a cutter), you will know what I mean. I hope that this book will lead to people recognizing that cutting is a sign of a serious mental condition and that they get help. Don't read this book if you are easily triggered.

Summary: Cut
Review: Patricia McCormick's nonfiction book Cut is a breathtaking, dramatic, realistic fiction novel about a girl named Callie. Callie was a runner until she lost a competition. She start to cut herself and her mom and dad get worried and send her to an institution. The institution is where the book takes pace. In the institution there are other girls who are anorexic, who smoke, and other things. Every day the girls have to go see a counselor who tries to get Callie to talk.
At the institution Callie meets Amanda who cuts herself too. Amanda starts making Callie's life more complex, and that makes Callie start to talk. Callie is trying to over come cutting herself, and life.
I think Patricia McCormick made her book for ages 13-20. This book is an excellent, and outstanding. If you liked the novel Fever then you will most likely like Cut. Cut is full of action and drama. This novel is a "have-to-have" novel, so go buy it, now.
