Rating: Summary: Loved It! Review: I loved this book. I've read it over and over. I couldn't put it down. Judy Blume gives details that takes you right out of this world, and in to the world of Kathryn and Micheal, that she has created. Any teenager would love this book. Not for young children under the age of 13!
Rating: Summary: Blume tells it like it is Review: Judy Blume graphically describes Katherine's first love in the book Forever. This was the first book I have ever read by Judy Blume and it was great. I would definately read it again because the details Judy Blume writes are amazing. They make you feel like you are in the book itself. One of the many good parts in the book is when Katherine learns about her grandfather while away at camp. She ran to the lake burying her face in her hands, crying. I highly recommend that all teenagers read this book.
Rating: Summary: Great book about first love... Review: First of all, I consider myself a procrastinator, and not much of a reader, but I finished this in two days. Being an 18 yr. old female, I can relate to a lot of what goes on in this book. This is obviously geared more toward adolescents who aren't yet fully experienced on the aspects of love, which also gave me some insight about it. Yes, it was explicit at times but at least these two people were in love, and thought it would last "forever". Unfortunately, young love usually doesn't last, which teaches a good lesson on life.
Rating: Summary: FOREVER is a great book Review: I have been reading Judy Blume's books for as long as I can remember. Until a few weeks ago I didn't know she had written any young adult novels. I grew up with Are You There God, It's Me Margaret and Freckle Juice. This book gave me insight into the world of a first love. I feel that it makes sex less intimidating for a young person. She describes the love scenes vividly as if you were there and could feel their love. So in short this is a fabulous book and I would recommend it to any young girl.
Rating: Summary: The best written heart touching book I've ever read Review: I first read this book when I was 13. It made me laugh, it made me cry. i would recommend this book to everyone who wants to read a beautiful, sweet, heart touching story of young love.
Rating: Summary: It is an excellent book. Review: Blume has the gift to capture a moment in life so perfectly and this novel is just another example of her gift. She has caught all the feelings and especially all the confusion of a seventeen year old girl. I would highly recommend it to any teenage girl, not only will she have someone to relate too, but it will give her a little guidance.
Rating: Summary: "We laughed and we cried..." Review: I think this book is a must-read for all teenagers. I don't know why parents would want to shelter their children from sex...they're going to hear about it. You can't escape it. Ms. Blume is giving us the facts, the truth, and nothing but that. I sincerely hope that if I had a child that she would be subjected to this topic in the most responsible way. This book teaches us the values. It makes you realize how beautiful love can be...and you'll remember this book for the rest of your life.
Rating: Summary: first love; feelings of confussion; your first Review: When I first read this book I was in Jr high. I tore the cover off so nobody knew I was reading what my mother called garbage. I learned from this book. It makes your think about the giving your virginity to someone and will it be forever. When My daughter comes of age of the boy craze I will try to get her to read this book. But for now We are worring about getting boobs, so were going with ARE YOU THERE GOD ITS ME MARGARET. this is what my mother bought me. Oh by the way she bought FOREVER for my liitle sister in highschool.
Rating: Summary: Teenagers and encounter with first time love. Review: FOREVER is about two teenagers and their forst encounter with love. Katerine and Michael meet at a friends house on New Year's Eve. After that night they fall deeply in love with each other. Soon they claim or promise to stay together forever. That is until their relationship is tested while they are seperated during the summer. This novel approaches teen sex in a tasteful manner. There are slso many situations and problems that teens can relate to. It is a romantic book and is fun to read.
Rating: Summary: A book which has stayed with me for many years!! Review: I first read this book when I was in my early teens but I don't think that I really appreciated it until I grew up a bit. I am 18 now and after reading the book again quite recently I finally feel that I fully understand all of the character's feelings and emotions in a way that I never did when I was younger.I would highly recommend this book to any young teen or young woman who has realistic views on sex and relationships in our day and age. I think that Blume is one of the best writers for adolesants in our time!! I am very glad that she is beginning to write adult novels.
