Summary: a really entertaining book
Review: "How I Changed My Life" was a very entertaining book with interesting and funny topics. I thought it was really great how the chapters were alternated by each person's ideas and thoughts. I really enjoyed it and definitely recommend it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I agree...
Review: ...In my opinion, this book really could boast a teen's self esteem a lot, since it is about realistic lives of 2 teens during high school. I also believe that this could help people to know how do deal with many situations by reading how the students in this book dealt with their problems. I agree that this book has a lot of foul language and there are some mature types of situations between the students, so I don't think that many young children would read this book. But this book has many exciting things that happen, that will make u want to continue reading. Since this book shows two points of views of two different people that are different sexes, it will be an interesting, and unusual type of book to read. I think that this is a good book to recommend to people too!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: First Review?
Review: A very good book, but I have one question: What book was the first review for??? I know one thing's for sure: It wasn't for this one! People might get the wrong impression of this book if they read that review first, because it describes a fantasy book of some sort, and that is FAR FROM what this book is. It is a very real book, in fact. It was awesome.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No matter what, don't give up!

So, she changes her hair, buys new clothes, starts to lose weight, and tries out for stage manager of the schools production of Anne Frank when Kyle decides to join. Only there's one problem. Chloe, Kyle's girlfriend who has to be perfect at everything. Bo's friend's say she's going to get herself into troble if she keeps taking chances but Bo just won't see the danger. Read this fantastic book to find out what happens!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Story
Review: I like the way it was written in the first person but the person changed by section, it gives you the view of what they are both thinking and gives you that edge where you know where they both are coming from.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: it was great!but......
Review: I liked How I Changed My Life by Todd Strasser alot. It is about a girl named Bolita Vine (Bo for short) who is a shy kind of student. She isn't very popular and isn't known around school much. She just goes to class and her theatre group. Her theatre group is mainly her life. She spends most of her time sitting on the cat walk above stage. But then one day she decides to change. She changes her self image from the hair she had since she was in 3rd grade to the new high school looking hair-do. people finally start to notice her after she loses a few pounds and changes her self image.She has always had a major crush on the former football captain, Kyle Winthrop. He espically never notices her since he has the great and most perfect and popular Chole for a girlfriend. But when Kyle and Chole's relationship starts to dicentigrate afte Klye's knee injury, they feel like the world is falling apart. It is a very eciting book! It can really boost a teen's self esteem. The only reason I gave this book four stars is because they talk about some mature types of things and they very often use foul language. But if that doesn't bother you, read it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Good Book
Review: I really liked this book a lot. It was the first book I have ever read in like 3 or 4 hours. It was so good. I couldnt put it down. I dont read a lot( I am getting more into it), but books like this one make me want to read all the time. I highly reccomend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I couldn't put it down!!!!!!!!!
Review: I thought it was a great book. It was funny how Bo tried to get Kyle's attention by trying to flirt with him. Bo thought that Kyle liked her, but Kyle was just being friendly. I also liked it when Kyle thought that plays were just for girls and how Bo inspired him to be in the play.
