Summary: Real...or not?
Review: I would honestly like to know why Beatrice Sparks does this. She is a respected Ph.D. Clearly it is her who writes the novels she has 'edited'. I think she feels teenagers can related to books by real people... but it is obvious that she is the one who writes these novels so how can we have respect her as a novelist? But the book was ok...I feel it doesnt seem real (because its not) when 'Jennie' is completly oblivous to what JJ is doing... that is really unrealistic ... so Dr.Sparks next time you write a novel... dont lie about it we will respect you alot more!

Summary: Editted alittle TOO much!!
Review: I'm not saying this book is bad, it's really interesting, and the girl deals with sexual abuse by her teacher, an unusual topic. But oviously Dr. Sparks edited this diary alittle TOO much, come on...even one of the best writers don't write that good! It makes the diary seem fake...but the important thing it, the story-line is still the same...this truly is someone's diary, except reworded. That is what interests me in Spark's edited diaries by anonymous. Read this one, you won't be able to put it down...very very haunting and reality isn't always easy!

Summary: Must-Read
Review: The girl (Jennie) in the book is so blinded by love, she doesn't see what's happening to her! She seems confused about her life too! This book is like a roller-coaster! One minute she's happy and the next it's like her world's falling apart! You have to read it! Read All Dr. Beatrice Sparks' books! They are all good! P.S. I couldn't put this book down!

Summary: Victimization and preaching
Review: There are two things Beatrice Sparks is good at (sorry to disappoint you, kids, there's no "anonymous teenager" handing their diaries over to her for editing) - creating victims and preaching. Even while dealing with issue of teenage pregnancy, she chose to have the character be raped so that she was absolved from responsibility. This book is no exception. As for the preaching - the character constantly berates herself for not being positive enough, and reminding herself what she's grateful for, usually accompanied by capital letters and excessive exclamation marks. The narrator is too-good-to-be-true and her style too juvenile for her age, but if you enjoyed other works by Dr Sparks, pick it up - it's almost identical to everything else she's written.

Summary: Unrealistic
Review: This book carries an important message but honestly, I can't stand the way it has been edited. It's marketed as a real diary but thats impossible to believe. It's not a 14 year old's diary at all which is pretty distracting. That alone ruined the book, if its not a true story it shouldn't claim to be one.

Summary: Treacherous Love
Review: This book it is in diary form and the main character is Jennie. Jennie's life is very complex and when she finds someone to make it go all away it turns out to not be what she expects. Jennie falls in love with her math teacher and loves everything that he does and it just so happens he does everything to make her fall in love with him. He traps girls to trust him and then fall in love with him. When Jennie finds out who he really is she does nothing but stay in bed. I thought this book was very good to relate with a true-life teenager. It shows some of the problems they have and how one problem can wreck their lives forever. This book was very emotional and easy to relate to. Also, it has characters you can understand and know so much about them you think you've known them forever.

Summary: Eh....
Review: This book was ok... After reading a few pages I had to assume that this was not a realy diary. It is tto preachy (like how she is always scolding herself for being sad or mad at someone, just not something a real teenage girl would do). Also after a while I started to hope either something interesting and realistic would happen or the book would just be over. The ending is too perfect and abrupt for an "actual" girl's account of her affair with her teacher. I have read quite a few diary books and this one is not one of the better and more believable ones. It made me kind of depressed for this girl who is being used and I am not sure whether or not it was a waste of time to read it. Either way, teenage girls might want to read it so they can see the signs of a teacher who wants more that just good grades from you.

Summary: Confusing
Review: Though this is an amazing story, I found _Treacherous Love_ to be confusing and, believe it or not, at times dull. The exciting part of the story starts very late in the book. On the other hand, a lot can be learned from this novel, especially if it is a real diary, like it is said to be. As a 14-year-old girl, I could relate to the character and some of her experiences. If you are a teenager, particularly a teen-age girl, you might want to try this book. In retrospect, I am glad I read it, even if I did not really enjoy it during the reading.
