5/5   TashaMorwell | Feb 24, 2021 |  5/5 TashaMorwell | Feb 24, 2021 | I did something I never do – I started reading a book based on the recommendation of a stranger I met in the book store. Two days and only five pages later, I needed a quick reading fix. Something short, something easy, but something good. I had this award winning slice of Young Adult fiction sitting on a shelf, so I grabbed it and devoured it on a weekend afternoon. This story was edgy, dark but funny, emotional but not tear-jerking. It was just what I needed. Laurie Halse Anderson has a gift for the teenage psyche. She does an incredible job of developing the character, and then letting her grow and evolve in a natural way, not the way a mom, teacher or adult would dictate. And while I’m not sure I would have liked this book when I was a young adult (I was on a strict diet of Michael Crichton with a side of Anne Rice and Stephen King – I liked my fiction to be a far cry from my reality), I appreciate the depth and craftsmanship that went into now. Five stars. (  ) ShannonHollinger | Feb 15, 2021 | A Book Set In High School Reading YA literature when you're OA is like watching a foreign film without subtitles. Speak has engaging moments but I'm forty plus years removed from ninth grade and they times they have changed. (  ) skavlanj | Feb 15, 2021 | Excellent novel capturing teenage angst and Melinda's inability to deal with a sexual assault. (  ) 3CatMom | Dec 28, 2020 |
 The plot is gripping and the characters are powerfully drawn, but it is its raw and unvarnished look at the dynamics of the high school experience that makes this a novel that will be hard for readers to forget. In her YA fiction debut, Anderson perfectly captures the harsh conformity of high-school cliques and one teen's struggle to find acceptance from her peers. Melinda's sarcastic wit, honesty, and courage make her a memorable character whose ultimate triumph will inspire and empower readers. Anderson expresses the emotions and the struggles of teenagers perfectly. Melinda's pain is palpable, and readers will totally empathize with her. This is a compelling book, with sharp, crisp writing that draws readers in, engulfing them in the story.  But the book's overall gritty realism and Melinda's hard-won metamorphosis will leave readers touched and inspired. Laurie Halse Anderson's first novel is a stunning and sympathetic tribute to the teenage outcast. The triumphant ending, in which Melinda finds her voice, is cause for cheering (while many readers might also shed a tear or two). Kuuluu näihin kustantajien sarjoihin
