Rating:  Summary: Brings out the hidden artist in everyone! Review: I loved this book because I love art. In a way I find myself like Susan, I might paint, draw, or sketch something that not everyone likes, but I know in my heart that it's good the way it is. I think it brings out the artist in everyone because everyone sees themselves in Susan. I think everyone who read this book felt the pain and anguish inside of Susan when her Uncle ran off with her most prized possesions
Rating:  Summary: IT sux Review: No offense to those of you who enjoyed this book, but I personally found it wholly unfulilling. I found the main charactors dessions to be ridicious, unintegligent and downright disgusting. The girl in this book dates my uncle, It's gross.
Rating:  Summary: Art, family, and lust Review: This is the story of a girl trying not to be ordinary (hence the 5). She has a passion for art, a passion which her family does not understand. She dreams of showing her art in a gallery, so she makes the trip for her Utah home to live with her aunt in Boston.While in Boston, she finds her mysterious Uncle Willy, who betrayed her family long ago. She was very young then and as far as she was concerned he could do no wrong. This untarnished image carried on in her mind her entire life. She eventually develops a relationship with him and falls in love with him. Susan discovers the hard way that you can't always trust the people you want to, as he robs Susan and her aunt blind before disappearing once again. This is a wonderful coming-of-age story that will hook you in the first paragraph and hold you up until the very end.

Rating:  Summary: Not the worst book ever Review: This was not the worst book I have ever read, but I wasn't all that impressed with it either. Sus5an is so dumb when it comes to boys. She has this perfectly great guy who is also an artist who likes her, and yet, she has to pursue an idealized uncle who you can tell from the first page of the book is only going to get her in trouble. It would seem that Sus5an would have thought a little more about what her family and friends said about the guy before deciding he was this wonderful person she remembered. It also makes Sus5an look way too naive in the book. Sure, she's from Utah, and I will admit people from Utah can be a little naive sometimes, but she just seems almost dumbly naive. Didn't she ever wonder if there was at least some truth in what her family told her about this uncle?
