Summary: Deenie by Judy Blume
Review: I think this book was really interesting, because I could realate to the character Deenie. I had the back problems just like deenie did and I wore the same brace she did. It was good to read this book because it was good to know that someone felt the same way I did. Because nobody understand unless they have the back problems.

Summary: one of Blume's better books
Review: The relationships between Deenie and her mother, father, and sister are very well thought-out. I admit I was scandalized when I first read this book in seventh grade at the makeout scene between Deenie and Buddy, but it certainly didn't encourage me to go out and do that myself, and as for masturbation, Blume is VERY VAGUE and merely wishes to point out that this is normal, which it is, as any two-year-old could tell you if two-year-olds could talk well enough. People who want this book banned on a couple of minor details are missing the whole point of the book, which is about a teenager who is trying to do the right thing amidst a whole lot of physical and emotional barriers. A good read.

Summary: Deenie is a really fabulous book.
Review: I read this book so long ago but I remember it to this day. Deenie referes to a movie in that book and I never knew what that movie was until a couple of years ago. It is called Splendor in the Grass. And I recommend seeing it if you can.

Summary: Deenie: A Fabulous Book
Review: Deenie is a 14 year old girl. She loves being with her friends and doing normal things that a 14 year old would do. But the only problem is her mom. Her mom has practically planned out her whole life! Her mom wants Deenie to be a model and be in magazines etc. But Deenie just doesn't want that. She wants to be a normal girl. When Deenie goes to a modeling agency, she gets rejected because of the way she walks and her posture. The problem is she slouches. Also, Deenie does not make the cheerleading squad because of the same reasons she was rejected from the modeling agency. Finally, Deenie goes to a doctor. After going to 3 doctors, she finds out she has scoliosis. To improve her scoliosis, she must wear a Milwaukee Brace. DEENIE DOES NOT WANT TO WEAR THE HIDEOUS MILWAUKEE BRACE WHICH GOES FROM HER HIPS TO HER NECK! Even though she doesn't want to, she still has to. Deenie has to deal with wearing her brace, her friends and other peoples reactions and much more. This is the worst time for Deenie to get a brace. It's while she's interested in boys and has many questions about herself. This is a book worth getting!

Summary: My Review on Dennie
Review: When I read Dennie, i thought it was a great book because I have Scoliosis. The way Dennie felt, was the same way when I was diagnosed with Scoliosis. I thought this was a great book because you actualy felt if you were Deenie herself. It also tauhgt me alot about scoliosis, even more things that I didnt know about it.

Summary: this book is really good
Review: Deenie is really good because it is true to life. I know people that have spinal problems. Alot of them have read this book and feel what Deenie's feeling. Obviously the book is really good or else it wouldn't have been written by Judy Blume.

Summary: Deenie
Review: Imagine that you were a seventh grade girl who's mother wanted you to be a model. You didn't even know if that was what you wanted. You know that you have the looks, but it seems that every time you find a modeling agency, you get turned down. "Its something about your posture" they say. One day you get called down to the gym to meet with your teacher. She asks you to bend down and touch your toes. You wonder what is going on, when she says, "You might think about going to the doctor. I'm not sure about anything, but I think you might have a problem." So you go to the doctor, and he sends you to another doctor. It ends up that you have scolioses and you have to where a big, ugly, obvious brace for four years. You want to kill yourself. This is what happened to Deenie. Her whole High School years are ruined by one stupid brace. She gets all these looks at school and all of a sudden, she is treated differently. She hates it. she wants to get a operation, but the doctor says "Things could go wrong. Plus you would be crippled for months,". She is so embarrassed, but she learns to live through it, and in the end, she is glad she coped. I really liked this book because Judy Blume really gets into the brain of Deenie. She shows that sometimes mothers take control, and that sometimes you have to live through some things that you don't want to live through. This book is good for people that like to learn about hardships. This is an even better book for people who have scolioses.

Summary: A Great Book
Review: I have read almost all of Judy Blume's books except the adult novels. I like Deenie better than any of the other books she's written. (Not that the others weren't great books.) Deenie's mother wants her to be a model, do movies perhaps. But Deenie would rather go to the mall with her friends and try makeup on and not buy it. But instead, Deenie goes to different modeling agencies every Saturday. Deenie tries out for cheerleading and is told a call will be sent home. The teacher tells Deenies parents that she needs to see a doctor. Then, after seeing 3 doctors, Deenie and her family relize that she has scoliosis (a crooked spine) and must wear a brace from her neck to her hips. Deenie knows things will never be the same. Who would hire a model with a brace from her head to her hips? How can Deenie ever make cheerleder with a brace? Deenie soon relizes that she must find a way to get trough all the hard times ahead. But how?
