Summary: THE TONES OF MENTAL ILLNESS, THE DANCE OF HEALTH
Review: (...)This well written book features a strong black cast and it is the strength and unity of these characters that make for a compelling story. I also liked the descriptions of the city and the stores in their neighborhood. That gives readers a sense of the place of the story.

Humming Whispers/ Angela Johnson
Review
10-01-03 In the novel Humming Whispers, Angela Johnson wrote a moving story about to sisters and what they go through. As Sophy says "Blood is thicker then water".
Nicole who is sophy's older sister was only fourteen when she first started hearing the voices. Voices that no one else could here but her. People started to treat her weird Because of them and she didn't like it. Now sophy is fourteen and she is afraid to end up like Nicole. She is afraid the whispers will catch up to her and make her do crazy things to.
I very much thought this book was outstanding. The way Johnson wrote it just made you want to keep reading and reading. The book addressed strong issues of two girls and what they go through with friends, family, and secrets. I would strongly encourage anyone to read this. I really think they will love it as much as I did.
Without a doubt I believe this book was awesome in every way. It really showed how these girls lived with there secrets. It showed them with many emotions. I really liked the relationship between sophy her sister Nicole and their aunt Shirley. It sounded like they were all very close to one another. Overall this book is wonderfully written and I would read again if I had a chance.

Summary: Humming Whispers
Review: I really enjoyed this book. I think Angela Johnson is an incredible author! The story is so wonderful it keeps you guessing until the end. I like the fact that in the beginning of the book its a bit confusing but near the end of the story things make more sense.
Although the book was a little sad, I still enjoyed it. I think alot of young people could relate to this situation. Every fourteen year old child should read this book to get a glimse of other peoples lives. The only thing I didn't like about the book was it wasn't long enough. I wish this book would go on forever.I would read this story to my grandchilden!

Summary: I really didn't like this book.
Review: This book actually wouldn't be something that I would choose to read. It just didn't interest me that much.i didn't really get it. they used really big words and confusing sentences. i like fun books not scary. i like the types of books that make you laugh in some parts and not scare you. this book didn't make me want to keep reading. i wanted to stop but i didn't because i thought that it would be better if i kept on reading but it didn't get better. i have read better books and if i had the chance i wouldn't read it again.

Summary: I really didn't like this book.
Review: This is a good book. This was a book that you could sometimes put down and others you couldn't put the book down. The author describes a lot of things well like the area that they live in well, the neighborhood around them.
Her older sister, Nicole, was about fourteen and she started to hear voices and they would never go away. She had to keep very busy so that they wouldn?t bug her as much. The voices made her do crazy things. Nicole is scared that sophy, her younger sister, will also hear the voices because she is now fourteen. Nicole was lucky that her younger sister never got the voices.
Although this story was sad, it was still good. Plenty of young people would enjoy this book and could also relate to it.
