Summary: GREAT BOOK TO READ!!!!
Review: It's a great book to read for a teenager. It teaches you to about the consequences of not using protection. I guess that the book caught my attention because I wondered what would happen if I were in that position. The author's writing style makes you want to keep reading the book and look for more of her books. I give it five starts because it was interesting, exciting and kind of sad.

Summary: A diary of a pregnant girl who thinks she's in love
Review: The name if the book that I've read was What Kind of Love, The Diary of A Pregnant Teenager. Which was written by Sheila Cole. This type of book is a romantic book that deals with the social issue of teenage pregnancy. Overall this was a really good book and something you could really get into. More girls because we can relate to that situation relating with friends or family members.
In this book there a narrator and a central character. Valerie is both because she's the main character, and she's the one telling the story, it's her own point of view. Valerie is 15 years old in the 10th grade. She loves to play the violin, and goes to orchestra practices. She also has a boyfriend named Peter. He is about one year older than her. He likes reggae music. He seems like he is a good boyfriend. They spend a lot together. They spend so much time together that her little brother gets jealous because they use to do a lot of together. Valerie's little brother's name is Nick, and Nick is in the 8th grade. They use to always play games and go places until Peter came around. Her parents think very highly of her never thought she'd get pregnant. She wants to be a violinist, so her parents pay for her lessons with money that they're starting not to have. She does well in school, and they do things like take her out driving, have little family picnics. They really care about Val and her brother.
In the book What Kind of Love there were about four different literary elements. There were many events that led up the climax. Valerie always spends time with her boyfriend. Then one time when his parents weren't home and that's she got pregnant. She didn't know for two months that she was pregnant. She had thought she might be then she said no I can't be. When she told her boyfriend, he said that they were going to get married, and then he left her alone pregnant. Her parents wanted her to give the baby up. There is no real climax, because the book doesn't tell if she gives the baby up or not. The conflict is whether she's going to decide to surrender her baby. It's Valerie versus her parents and boyfriend.
The reason that I picked this particular book is because I think it is something that I can relate to. Not by my own experience, but by people in my family. This book is for a teenage audience preferable teenage girls. Some that has been in this experience, and too prevents this mistake. I think that the author of this book does succeed in what she's trying to accomplish. I know at least I hope, I will never get into this situation.
This is a real good book. I would recommend this book to any teenage girl. It also would be good for a teenage boy because it's not right to leave the girl that you helped to get pregnant. It is both of their fought. This is the kind of book you can get into. The author proves a great point. This is one of the best books I've read in awhile. I hope you get a chance to read it too.

Summary: diary of a pregnant teen
Review: this book was about this girl and she gets pregnant and the guy that gets her pregnant leaves to move with his father because his mother makes him. the girl has to survive on her own with no help. her parents want her to give the baby up but she doesent want to. her friends stop hanging out with her. at the end of the book she gives her baby up for adoption. the scene i liked i liked was when she was not getting her period."I wanted to tell him i missed my period." she went to aparty and that is where she got pregnant.

Summary: Wow,how interesting and so true
Review: This book was great!! It really told the truth about the things you could go through if you were pregnant. And if it was not enough money to go around in your family for you and your future child. It tells you the problems that Val went through with her boyfriend and how in the end he really didn't want anything to do with her and her baby. Because he had a full life ahead of himself. In the end how it came to a big decision that Val had to make on her own. This was a very true book about what most pregnant girls go through everyday in there life.I think every girl should read this if they are thinking of getting pregnant and make sure that there boyfriend will be there for them in along run.

Summary: So So
Review: This book was okay. Butin my opinion Sheila Cole failed to provide readers with an interesting and likeable character. I fell in love with Beatrice Sparks 'Annie' in her book even if I did think she was being stupid about 'Danny'. Cole didn't give us much insight into Peter and what he was like the way 'Dear Nobody' did with Chris. It didn't even give Val much character. It was obvious that the book only wanted to pump us with information about risky teen sex behavior. ...I love reading books with this topic but I wish that the characters were more thorougly explored. The book really should have been called 'The facts about teen sexual activity and pregnancy'. There were two more things I really couldn't stand.... What a lousy ending. Lastly, for a book filled with factual information the whole pregnancy scenario was pretty...well, weak. It was obvious the writer wanted us to listen to what she was saying but let's be honest here. ... That gets me in a lot of books (What kind of love, Dear Nobody, Dance for three, someone like you). And come on! She was FOUR MONTHS PREGNANT when the story began. They want to make their characters innocent and sweet so we will feel sympathy for them. I feel sympathy for anyone in Val's place but let's try to be realistic.... Come on, Val was fifteen! A baby! FYI, the BEST WAY TO PREVENT TEEN PREGNACY IS NOT HAVE SEX AT ALL!

Rating: 5 stars
