Get Well Soon

This book is about 16 year old Anna Bloom who had just been admitted to a mental hospital by her parents. She was depressed and stopped going to school for fear of one of her panic attacks. She also has Irritable Bowel Syndrome, which is directly related to her panic attacks. The whole book is her writing letters, which she never sends, to her best friend Tracy, telling her about everything and everyone in the hospital.

I loved this book. It was surprisingly upbeat and lighthearted. It made me laugh, which is rare. It was just an all around good book.

The only thing I didn't like was that near the very end, she randomly switched from her letters to Tracy to just plain old narration. It was a little confusing. But, in spite of that small fact, I loved it.

I give this book 4 1/2 stars. It loses half marks for me because I don't think it's a book that I'd read again. At least not anywhere in the near future. And I would only not read it again because the jokes are old now. I read them once, I remember them, that's it. End of story. Once the jokes and puns vacate my memory, I will deffinately read it again.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

So, here is my first book review. The book: The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

This book is about a troubled boy who is trying to fit in. He manages to acquire a group of frends who are older than his 16 years but love him all the same. The rest of the book is him trying to figure things out. Who is he, why do these things happen etc. There's some drugs, sex and drinking but, nothing over the top or dirty.

I was told before I started the book that it was disturbing. I started reading ready for some interesting drama and action. And, I have to say I was disappointed. I didn't want it to be disturbing in the sense that there are people who get raped and die but, disturbing enough to urge you to read more. Towards the end, it deffinately gets better. The Epilogue is the best part. And if you ever get the chance, take the time to read it. You'll regret it if you don't.

In my opinion, it wasn't the best book I've ever read. It's up there in my favorites, for sure. I know people who absolutely adore it. And you never know, you could too.

It was a great book. I was just disappointed because I was told it was much greater than I found it to be.

This book gets 4 stars.
