The Raging Quiet

Rating:
Summary: one of my fav's
Review: I loved the plot, it kept me on the edge, so I didn't want to put it down. Marnie and Raven were falsely accused of things that they weren't, because the towns people had closed their minds to new people and ideas. I liked how the priest was kind and how he helped the main characters to endure their hardships. I loved it. It had alot of feeling, and made me cry, mad and happy all at once.

Summary: Reads almost like a classic!
Review: Wonderful book! Love the symbolism, the historical elements (witchcraft), the fairy tale quality with added depth. Marnie does not seem 15, however, and the idea of Marnie creating sign language independent of all others does seem a bit of a stretch. Also, the relationship between Marnie and Raven seems more friendship than love-- I was rooting for Marnie to fall for Father Brannan!

Summary: WONDERFUL!=)
Review: THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ! It's such a tender and compelling story and the love story in it is wonderful as well. I can relate to all the charactors and I adore Raven! It's my favorite book of all time (and I have read a LOT of books!) the best part is, anyone over 12 or 13 years old (because it does contain a fair amount of romance) can read it! Teenagers will love it and I know a 50 year old who loves it! If you don't read this book you don't know what you're missing! This book makes you feel pride in yourself and makes you want to be who you truly are. It shows the true beauty of diversity. This book will leave you in awe; the amazing, adventerous and passionate story of a young man and a young woman; Marnie and Raven; who are not afraid of being different.

Summary: OUTSTANDING!
Review: The compelling and spellbinding story of a young woman and a young man who is deaf, set in the times when many women were suspected of witchcraft and killed. You love the charactors and can't wait to find out what will happen to them. An amazing love story and with a great plot and a terrific ending! Beautifully written! You can't stop reading it once you pick it up! Highly reccomended for anyone (especially girls) thirteen and up.

Summary: This is the best book by Sherryl Jordan yet!!
Review: I love Sherryl Jordan's books, so when this one came out, I bought it. Once into the book, I couldn't stop. The book touched me, and since I bought it (about a month ago), I've read it four more times! I understood how Marnie felt when she had to marry for her family (not that I've had to do that!), and I loved when Raven nursed the injured rabbit back to health. All the characters- Marnie, Raven (Raver), and Father Brannan, made up a great story!

Summary: Excellent
Review: This was a very well written book with an excellent premise and a quick, exciting plot. The all the characters were very well developed. The main character posessed a depth that is all too rare, and very appreciated. The plot was very good, good enough for me to stay up till one in the morning to finish it. As an avid reader of both childrens literature and adult novels in all genres, I recommend this to anyone who wishes to read a good story.

Summary: Truely Astounding
Review: I loved it! Jordan intrigued me with her words, and made everything seem so perfectly real to me. I loved the romance in it- Raven was so gentle and serene-- I only wished that they would've waited one more day to make love. Otherwise it was one of the mostest bestest greatest book I've ever read!!!

Review: The Raging Quiet is a beautifully crafted book about love,compassion, and the fullfilment of being a friend to another. This book teaches that these things (friendship,compassion, and love) are beautiful things which should be cherished forever.

Rating:
Summary: REALLY GOOD BOOK
Review: This book changed my thoughts on other people who are different. Marnie and Raven's thoughts became my own. I saw the unkindful town of Torcurra through their eyes, a town so filled with sameness and bitterness.
