FOREVER : A Novel of Good and Evil, Love and Hope

Rating:
Summary: I really enjoyed this book...
Review: I liked this book a lot. I don't think that it is unappropriate or anything, it's just the real world. People need to know what the real world is like, or when they go out on their own, they won't know what to expect. I hope I can find more good books like it. I love how Judy Blume explains everything so well. The only thing I don't like is at the ending when....oops! I don't want to spoil it for anybody!

Summary: An O.K. book
Review: This book, "Forever" by Judy Blume, was a very good book. I have always thought that Judy Blume was a very good author, and that strengthened my thoughts. The only thing that I didn't like aobut this book was how descriptive it was. I was only 11 1/2 when I read it, and all I remember is how descriptive it was when it came to sexual things. I think that there should have been a warning on the outside about its' descriptiveness.

Summary: Far too graphic
Review: I ordered this book for my fourteen year old daughter, who is away at camp this summer and who will start high school in the fall. I understood that the subject matter was "adult", and did not have a problem with it. These are issues teenage girls must face. I was totally unprepared, however, for the very unappealing, graphic, almost clinical manner Ms. Blume uses to describe the sexual encounters of this teen couple. Surely the issues and the emotions could have been explored without subjecting the reader to the sticky details of a "manually induced" orgasm! What message is a mother giving a teen when she gives her this book? It reads like a "how to" book. I sent my copy back!

Summary: AMAZING!
Review: I thought this book was truely amazing. it really taught you the true meaning of love, lust, and passion all wrapped in one. I couldnt put it down. However, if i were to change one thing, it would be to put more detail into the physical characteristics of the characters in the book. I loved this book, and hope to read more just like it.

Summary: Inappropriate
Review: I think that Judy Blume should really label her book for teens and for kids. When I first picked up this book I was 11 thinking that it was another one of her fun and cute "Fudge" books. However I was horrified that the book was centered around sex. Now when I go back reading the book, I think that it is perfectly fine, but I think back when I was reading the book and realized how unsuitable it is to read at that age. Children pick their own children authors they like, just like adults. So Judy Blume should stick to her children books or clearly mark "FOR TEENS" on the front cover in bold letters.

Summary: Very Good
Review: I read this book in one day when I was 13, a great rite of passage book. It has a very good lesson about sex and being a young adult. A must read!!

Rating:
Summary: Best Book Ever.
Review: I think this book was a great book. I recomend this book to anybody who loves love stories. Though the ending his sad the rest of the book is good and some what funny. I hope Judy Blume will write another book continueing this book since it was sort of wierd ending

Rating:
Summary: It was good but explicit
Review: I think this book was much too graphic- even today, the name Ralph scares me. I read it when I was 11- I really shouldn't have. I think this book is for ages 13+.

Summary: I hate to read but I liked this book....
Review: I never read, I never had. But this book was very easy and quick to read. It was a little overly detailed, but it was interesting and informative.
