Summary: The Awesome Threesome Lives Again
Review: A book about three girls that once they thought were best friends, but somehow something changed their friendship totally. I think this book is well detailed about how the girls felt while they have to suffered through those hard times. I recommend this book to teenage girls who have friendship problems or just to read to enjoy the book. These three teengage girls in this book suffer through a lot of conflicts, I really like the way how they solved it. Caroline B. Cooney is a really good author to write about teenagers books. She made me think how the story would end up and at the end it ended up in another way. There are a lot of books out there that is good by Caroline, but I recommend you to read this book first then check out her other books. I really like this author and her books. Enjoy your reading!!

Summary: I thought it was a good book, well written and enjoyable.
Review: Among Friends is a book made up of journal entries from a bunch of students that had to write journals for school. They tell about the "Awesome Threesome" made up of three kids, all best friends. However, one of the three, Jenny Quint, is head and shoulders above the rest. She isn't outstandingly beautiful, but she is remarkabley smart, and composes wonderful music. The story writes about how hard it is to lose a friend, and sometimes one act of kindness can bring the friendship back together, but so often it is thrown to the winds, and everyone is hurt.

Summary: Among Friends
Review: Among Friends is a good book for teenagers in high school. It is interesting in the way it deals with real-life situations that happen in school.This book is about a group of kids in high school that keep diaries for one of their classes. It is intriguing to see how they all respond to different situations. Mainly, the story is about the "awesome threesome", Jennie, Hillary, and Emily. They were the best of friends until high school, when jealousy split them up. Jennie, always being perfect at everything she did got to Hillary and Emily, and made them despite her. What Hillary and Emily didn't know is that Jennie was going through a hard time. Jennie wanted to be perfect to make her parents proud, but if she did that, her friends would dislike her. I liked this book because I could relate to the situations that happened in the book. I given this book four stars and highly recommend it.

Summary: "Among Friends" Review
Review: Caroline B. Cooney seemed to have written an amazing book on the problems that teenagers face while in their high school years. "Among Friends" tells the story from the teenagers point of view.
There isnt just one main character. Instead the author did a wounderful job keeping your attention by having six main characters. Each teenager is writing in their journals and discussing the problems that are accuring at school.
I found this unique way of writing to be cleaver and catchy because each problem that comes up is seen in a different piont of view. Also it made you think of which character you could relate to the most and what you would do if you were put in that posision.
A good example of the different perspectives would be when Pual first came to school. Everyone thought that the reason of why Pual was telling anyone about himself was because he was keeping all these exciting adventures from the class. Unforutantley that wasnt true. Instead the reason why Pual wasnt saying anything was because he was scared of fasing the truth and he was ashamed of his life at home. Not knowing this, all the kids at school were pressuring him to tell them information about his life.
By reading the other kids journals it was helpful to see how the same situation should be solved in different perspectives. Amy was going to wait untill he felt like he wanted to tell and the other kids just felt like they needed to know.
Overall I felt that this book was an excellent book. I also felt that it was extreamly helpful seeing that other kids went through the same things that teenagers today are going throught and being able to read about it. This book was something that I could relate to in real life and I would highly recommed this book for anyone who likes to read suspenceful books that will always keep you guessing.

Summary: Among Friends
Review: Caroline B. Cooney's Among Friends is about "The Awesome Threesome." Three girls, Jennie, Hillary, and Emily have been friends for life, until high school. There are also three other students that are involved in this bok, Ansley, Jared, and Paul. Jennie excels the others nd her two closest friends get jealous. Soon after "The Awesome Threesome" comes to an end. I enjoyed reading this book because it is in the diary style. It describes problems between friends and family. This book kept me going and I felt I could not put it down. I recommend this book to anybody who likes to read diaries. Also, people who like reading about their peers would enjoy this book. Among Friends had a lot of turning points in the story. This book often got off the main subject, but it kept me going so I could find out what was going on. Jennie alwas has to have everything perfect. If she's not perfect, then she wouldn't be the best, the way her parents want her to be. Then there is paul 'Classified', a major topic that the girls talk about. He's a new kid and won't let anybody know anything about him, so that's how he got his nickname 'Classified.' All of the students try to figure him out. The 'supercouple' is Ansley and Jared who have been dating for a long time. Hillary and Eimily are jealous of Jennie, but then realize that they really do need their friendship with her. This is the first time I have read Caroline B. Cooney. I really enjoy what she does and the influences that she gives young people. For example, when Hillary, Emily, and Jennie go skiing they can feel the tension between themselves but Hillary and Emily put that aside and gives Jennie a chance. I give this book a 4 star rating, for its meaning about friendship. People should read this book if they are having problems with their friends. I am sure it will help me sometime with my friends. I will always remember what all of the girls went through in this time period. Friendship to me means a lot and that is why I like this book so much. I do not think a person could go through life without having friends.

Summary: The Awesome Threesome Lives Again
Review: Did you ever read one of your friends diary? Reading Among Friends, is like reading six of your friends' diaries. This book is awesome, I liked it very much. My favorite character of this book is Emily. At the beginning of the book she is jealous of Jennie, but she's really nice inside. She wants to apologize to Jennie, but Hillary doesn't let her. I recommend this book to all ages.
