Summary: A great book--shows there more to life than looks!
Review: This is one of my favorite books (Cynthia Voight is my favorite author) and I guess you could call me a bookworm, but this story was great. Sad, but true, it shows how friendships can change. Once you've been in an accident like that, you know who your real friends are. And also, it shows the emotional, as well as physical changes that take place. I would recommend this book to every teen with a driver's license, because it demonstrates the havoc you can wreak on another person's life... Enjoy!!

Summary: THE MOST BORING BOOK EVER!
Review: THE BEGINING OF A BOOK IS SUPPOSED TO GRAB THE READER'S ATTENTION. THIS BOOK DIDN''T! MY FRIEND SAID THAT SHE GOT THROUGH 3 CHAPTERS AND GOT BORED. I DIDN'T STOP BUT IT WAS TIME UNNESSARILY WASTED. WE AGREE WITH THE READER FROM SEATTLE. WE APPEAL TO ANY PERSON READING THIS BOOK, STOP! FIND ANOTHER BOOK! (NO OFFENCE TO THE AUTHOR AND ANYONE WHO LIKES it of coarse) sorry for the shouting. didn't know.:)

Summary: A GREAT BOOK!!!!!
Review: This is a great book about a teenage girl who is in a wreck because of a drunk driver, and must have the lower part of her leg amputated. Even her closest friends desert her and she finds a girl whom she hardly knew as her best friend. Cynthia Voigt has written a great book that all girls should read.

Summary: Izzy's Life Turned Upside-Down
Review: I just finished reading, Izzy, Willy-Nilly, and I was somewhat impressed with the dramatic situation that Voigt is able to express. I was slightly disappointed though, because I was hoping something good would come of this situation, but everything just stayed the same or got worse. I guess I wouldn't know what it's like to be crippled, but it seems like things would be a little bit better than the way Izzy expressed them. However, I thought this book was well written. Voigt captured every emotion any human being could ever dream of, and she found an interesting way to display these emotions.

Summary: Melodramatic pap!
Review: Come on! Ever heard of a prosthesis? This is the worst kind of pity-pot, melodramatic, victim story. The trauma of disabilty is real. This book is not.

Rating:
Summary: poor Izzy
Review: Poor Izzy! I'm sure anyone can sympathize with the bright intellegent girl gone out for one night of fun ruining her life as she knew it! but in this book you are forced not only to sympithize but to be with Izzy every moment of her long tiresome batle. The only complaint I have about this book is that its written in first person and we don't know the feelings of the other characters. Bravo on exeptional work! alana norto
