Summary: Even if you don't like her, you'll love this!
Review: I picked up Dancing on the Edge awhile back and found the sort of sci-fi tie in weird. I heard this book was good, so I picked it up, having a school book report done soon. I finished it in two days, because I could never put it down. You wrapped up in the story of J.P. and his odd family. You can't help knowing how he feels at some times. When J.P.'s grandmother dies, his family falls apart. His mother starts seeing a doctor a lot and his mentally retarded father has found a new fetish of staying on the roof with an illuminnated Nativity set.His mother wins a contest where the prize is a farmhouse in New Hope. They fill their house with people, a girl with an abusive father, an abonded kid named Larry and all his poetry friends. This story really hits home. I promise you'll love it. Even if the cover looks bizarre, you'll pick up what all the things represent while reading it. Trust me, this story is amazingly well written and you won't regret it!

Summary: Knitting Backwards
Review: This book is really well written. It's mainly about a teenager named James-Patrick and the problems he faces in his everyday life after his grandmother, who held the family together, died. His father is mentally retarded. They move into a large house after his grandmother dies, and his mother invites "weird" people (according to JP) to come live with the family. JP can't stand the chaos in the house with all the people there. Especially since he's a really good student, and his goal is to be the Valdictorian of his high school class. Over time his relationships with these people improve. This book was really good. It touched on things that many teenagers face in everyday life. This kind of stuff happens to everyone, and not just when a relative or close friend dies. Personally, I've felt like this a lot in life, just because I want order, like JP. This book shows that just because people are different, we can't alienate them. They're people too, and they deserve respect. I'll definitely end up reading this book again.

Summary: I really liked this book-
Review: This was a really great book-It really affects you and youaredrawn completely into it. It made me sad, because I felt everythingthat JP felt, even though my life isn't anything like his. I was a little disappointed in the ending, maybe because it was the end of a really good book, and maybe because it needed to be wrapped up more. There still are some things I wondered about. But the book gave me a lot to think about. I'm really glad I read this book, and I recommend it!

Summary: Kept Me Engrossed Until the End!
Review: This was a wonderful book, keeping me angry, then sad, then laughing, all the time wondering how it's going to end. Very few authors are good story tellers, but this is a delightful exception. Great book!

Review: When I was going to get a book to read at school I was in a hurry so I picked out any book I could find so I just took out this book. I thought it would be boring at first but when I got into the second chapter I was very interested. This book is about a teenage boy named James Patrick. When his grandmother Mary died his family fell apart. Especially his father who was mentally disabled but worst of all he didn't know what to do about this situation. His mother then goes out with Dr.Mike who James Patrick though his mother was having an affair with. If you want to know more you should really read this book.
