Deenie

Summary: This book was a great story of a teenage girl
Review: In this story Deenie, a beautiful teenager, discovers that she has scoliosis. Her mom is upset because she really wants Deenie to be a model, but now she can't be one untill Deenie's spine is fixed. Deenie is forced to wear a brace. Deenie hates the brace because it shows through all her clothes and is very uncomferatable. It even gives her a rash! I learned a lot about scoliosis through this book, but it wasn't very interesting and i didn't really enjoy reading it.

Summary: I usually dont like to read but this book was awesome.
Review: I usually disliked reading but after reading deenie i cant take my eyes off of any other Judy Blume book. i had read that book in a week and it surprised me because i hate to read and instead of watching the television i had my eyes glued to this book. It was the absolute best and i recomend it to anyone. especially teen girls. I especially liked deenies courage at the end of the book and how she followed her conscience. This is the Best book i have ever read and i wish it was my summer reading book but thats a whole other story. i am now reading "Its not the end of the world" by Judy Blume and this seems to be a great book too. So i definately reccomed it to anyone...Definately!

Summary: it was really good
Review: i loved this book a lot because it has a real lesson at the end. We could all learn from this book and how someone will like you no matter what. I felt really bad when Deenie found out that she couldn't ba a model and that her mother was blaming it all on her.

Summary: Deenie Is Great !!
Review: I was born with a rare spinal birth defect and with it came scolios. Up until I was 11 I had to were a back brace. This book made me feel like there was someone like me. Unlike Deenie though 've had many surgeries because of it. Since I also have other problems I have to wear leg brace and walk with forearm cruthes. Deenie helped cope me cope with my scolios the last time I had a surgey. Deenie is great !!

Summary: I, too, have scoliosis.
Review: When I was seven years old, my doctor told my family and me that I had a case of scoliosis. Like Deenie, I was put into a brace. Unlike Deenie, I wore a brace that did not have a neck part with it. My brace was the Boston Brace and it covered only my spine. I was always worried about what others thought of me because I was different. No one ever really cared, though. They could see what was on the inside other than what was on the outside. And I thank all those people who treated me the same. It sounds as if I was handicaped the way I am thanking people, but I was not. I was just another girl in the world. Still today, I have scoliosis and I am going into a conference next month about sugery. For 8 years I have worn braces and been in and out of doctors offices.
I want to thank Ms. Blume for writting this book and helping me understand how another teenager may feel towards her scoliosis. Like Deenie, I dreamed of becomming a model. For a year now, I have had many modeling offerings and because of my scoliosis I have had to turn them down. Until after the surgery, I keep my dreams on hold and wait until I can model in the future.

Summary: A Deenie Darn Book to Read
Review: Deenie is a great book. It's about a girl that gets scoliosis. She has to wear a back brace that she hates,I would too. One day she gets so sick of wearing that thing, so she does something that she will regret,I don't want to tell you because it should be a surprise. One reason that I like this book is because Deenie is close to my age and Judy Blume is a great author. The ending was shocking, but the book was exciting. I first read this book in 5th grade because my friend had read it and wanted me to, so I did. Now, I'm no book worm, but when I read that book I didn't want to stop. If you haven't read Deenie, I encourage you to.

Summary: Scoliosis
Review: When I was in fifth grade, I learned that I had scoliosis and had to wear a back brace. At first, I was very upset about it, and among other things my mom gave me the book Deenie. After reading it, I was even more upset. Scoliosis wasn't a big part of my life at all. All of my friends knew, and didn't care. My brace was completely covered and undetected under my clothes. But after reading this book, for the first time I felt different. For the first time, I felt like I was different and had a handicap, and I didn't want other people to veiw me that way. I still play sports, go to parties and hang out with my friends. Now I only have to wear the brace at night, but even when I first got my brace my parents allowed many acceptions when I didn't have to wear it. I found this book unrealistic and offensive, and it generally made me feel bad about myself.
