Summary: Not that wounderful......
Review: I thought I would love this book because I'm into this sort of thing, but I didn't. I just couldn't stand it. I'm not really sure why, it might be because I don't think anyones parents would act like Lisas, or anyone's friends would actually act like they did. Every person in this story just didn't seam that real.

Summary: An INTERESTING book for any TEEN who is forced to read.
Review: Lisa, Bright and Dark, a novel by John Neufeld, is probably one of the most interesting books i have read. The book made me appreciate having a loving and caring family and also got me to see what it is like to have an illness and how society(in this case Lisa's parents)don't want to accept it.This book helped me relize what "crazy" people go through. I was given this book to read from school and i thought it would be horrible, but short. Although, now it turns out that i'm telling all of my friends to read it. This book will be great to give someone for a gift. By the way get it from Amazon, it is cheap and arrives fast.

Summary: Dark, dreary, and just plain boring.
Review: Hey, this book could have been a good story. The potiential that writing about a girl going mad is high, but there was something lacking. The characters seemed like flat little card board cut outs that give you no particular feeling when you read about them. Especially, Lisa. By the end of the book all I knew about her was what I already knew from reading the summery on the back of the book. And the story in general? There was not much to elaborate on. Girl goes slightly crazy, girl goes slightly more crazy, girl at her craziest. If your going to read a book like that, what you need is a little feeling. But this had none. Altogether a dissapointing book.

Summary: dim and dim
Review: While searching for books, I ran into this one, and by the back, it seemed highly interesting. Not to mention, it was recommended by a lover of "Go Ask Alice". Anyhow, the basic fact is that is was disappointing and unexciting. I think the most disappointing part is that it was not raw in any sense. You will not read anything you don't already know about madness. It makes you wonder if this author does in fact know anything about it. Which it seems he doesn't. Don't waste your time.

Summary: boring
Review: i felt the book to be undeveloped and boring and i couldn't bring myself to finish it. not recomended
Rating: 
Summary: Short yet intriguing story of a young girl.
Review: I enjoyed the story very much. At the end it leaves you craving more. Another good book like it is "I Never Promised You A Rose Garden". Going insane is extremely interesting and the plot of this story is trying to figure out how and why it happens.
Rating:
Summary: Absolutely terrible.
Review: One of the worst books I have ever read. The characters were incredibly stupid, and the portrayal of Lisa was not believable.
Rating:
Summary: I was moved completely by this book
Review: This book is wonderful! It made me feel things that psychologists and my parents couldn't. It seems shallow but it has a total deeper meaning. It touched me and made me know that I wasn't the only one out there that was depressed and young. Thank you Mr. Neufeld.
Rating:
Summary: Good storyline; Flat characters
Review: This book is about a depressed girl who is trying to get help. When adults turn her and her friends away, her friends try to help her. The storyline is nice and realistic, but though Neufeld tries to give his supporting characters depth, they turn out extremely shallow.
