Good Book!
I'm 13, and in the 7th grade (going to 8th now) and I just recently finished reading this book because someone had recommended it to me. It was an excellent book, and I was glued to it practically 24/7. The only problem I had was that Charlie was so stiff, but that's just the character. Oh, and there were about a dozen grammar mistakes.

Splendid

I got it in a very short amount of time, in pristine condition. I was very pleased.

Great for Unmotivated Students
Review written by: mjkoonze From
Yes there are controversial issues in this book - but, honestly, that is what makes this book so great for high school students to read. The reading level is not too high, so it is a great book to do with lower level readers or just to do as a quick read when you don't have a ton of time to do a book. The controversial issues brought up in the book are so great because they are the issues that teens are dealing with, whether teachers or parents want to admitt it or not. I highly recommend this book for high school English classes that are geared around discussions of real life issues teens face.

Modern day Catcher in the Rye
Review written by: J. Mondl From
This is a fun read - coming of age story that adults like me will enjoy, and perhaps kids age 14+. The story never veers into the unbelievable, and the characters are all well-developed and interesting. I wish I had at age 14 the insight that the protagonist in this story had.

Typical
Review written by: Marold From
I thought this book was just okay. It's about a boy's first year in high school. It's written as a series of letters that he writes to an unknown receiver, talking about everything that is going on in his life. It's a very quick, easy read. I think I may be too old for it. Maybe an adolescent would enjoy it. I'm thirty and I felt that he seemed so incredibly young and the hiw writing in the letters seemed so elementary, despite that fact that one of his teachers tells him he's brilliant. The character is a little bit annoyingly corny and too happy go-lucky at times and also cries way too much. I hate to make such an obvious comparison, but I was hoping to enjoy it in a similar way to "Catcher in the Rye." It can be interesting to read about a smart adolescent coming of age, observing things for the first time, and experiencing things with new perspective. However, I did not feel that way at all about this book. I really shouldn't even compare the two. That was my mistake. They are nothing alike. There is nothing profound or interesting about the way the main character Charlie sees things. I was disappointed in this book.
