Summary: Heartbreaking & uplifting, all at the same time!
Review: This is a great quick read. Echoing other reviewers, set aside several hours so you can finish this book quickly. Finally, a young adult novel with some depth. Characters who are not plastic, contrived, stereotyped. Julian comes across as genuine. A must read!
Rating:
Summary: Don't start this book unless you can finish it all at once!
Review: This is a one-sitting book. Once you pick it up you can't put it down until you're done, and even then you want to keep going. As you break through Julian's secret code, you also break through the secret barriers even he can't seem to get around. Deem gives just enough clues to keep you guessing, and Julian lets you see just enough of his soul to keep you caring.

Summary: 3 NBs of Julian Drew
Review: When I first picked up this book, I was instantly thrown into the story. Though slightly confusing, your heart can't help but bleed for 16 year old Julian Drew; an abused child carrying years of guilt and longing for his mother and a family that will never be. Telling the story through the creative aspect of a diary (or NB as Julian calls it) Deem tells a tale of a young boy literally locked within the prison of circumstance, lost and basically alone. With a touching cast of characters and a deep, yet expertly told storyline, 3 NBs of Julian Drew will leave you breathless. The code that Julian writes in at the beginning of the book makes him seem so much realer and so much more believeable, therefore adding to the story another dimension. We watch as he progresses more and more and deserts the code. So, all in all, 3 NBs of Julian Drew is most definitely worth a read--or even two!

Summary: I never expected this.
Review: When I saw The 3NB's of Julian Drew on the shelf it grabbed me. I never expected it to be so REAL!
All of it, from cracking the code to reading the last sentence, had me enthralled. I want more. If Deem hasn't written a sequel, he should.
