Speak--or just don't speak at all

Date of Review:  Dec 27, 2005
Review: My friend recommended this book to me and I ended up giving it to my teacher. I was so upset that I payed for that book. The book just didn't keep my attention at all. It was a good book for what it's worth, just not something that I would recommend...

This book spoke to me

Date of Review:  Jul 19, 2004
The Bottom Line: A great book, in short. Speak is very inspiring but easy to read.
Review: I don't remember how I stumbled across Speak, but I did, and I'm very glad of it. I think I may have first become interested in it because the author's (Laurie Halse Anderson's) name is very similar to mine (Laura Anderson). Now that you know that...

NO BOLOGNA

Date of Review:  Jun 8, 2000
Review: This book is incredible. It is informative and real. It takes you into the girls mind and shows you her thoughts and feelings. The way everything weaves together so perfectly is awesome. The way the book is written is unique. Instead of using...

I Need To Speak Up For This Book!

Date of Review:  Aug 18, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you like suspense read this book!
Review: This is a very interesting book that makes you so crazy to know what in the world happened that the main character keeps talking about that you NEED to finish it. You really feel for the character. She makes you sad and the people around her angry...

To Speak or Not To Speak... I'm Thinking Speak

Date of Review:  Oct 22, 2004
The Bottom Line: A spoken book all about not speaking. Ironic, huh?
Review: Melinda (the main character) and I both agree that school is an unusual thing. For one, I have to read a novel of some sort in science class every day. I always thought that we could be efficient and use that time for something like test tubes or...

She Silently Speaks--Loudly, Too

Date of Review:  Apr 14, 2001
The Bottom Line: Speak is a quick, fun, and gut-wrenching read. Those who've enjoyed books like Smack, Perks of Being a Wallflower, and Hard Love will immediately fall in love.
Review: Speak, a stunning first novel by Laurie Halse Anderson will have you laughing, crying, and then wanting more.

It's the first day of high school, and Melinda has been ostracized since breaking up an end-of-summer keg party for the incoming...

It's Time to Speak

Date of Review:  Jan 16, 2008
The Bottom Line: My recommendation is to have your child or even you read this book. It is a lesson and interesting "puzzle"
Review: I came across Speak when I was given it to read in my English class. I am not one to enjoy reading, but ever since Speak I realized that books can be great. The main character, Melinda, has an inncident at a summer party. She goes into her freshman...

Speak your mind.

Date of Review:  Oct 23, 2002
The Bottom Line: Speak is a good book, and you should read it at least once.
Review: Imagine going into high school with no friends, no support, and no hope. Melinda feels this way; last summer she broke up a drinking party.
Speak is about an outcast girl with a secret-she was raped last summer at a party. Frightened, she had...

To Speak or Not to Speak

Date of Review:  May 1, 2001
The Bottom Line: Whether or not you would want to relive high school, this book will take you back.
Review: Melinda Sordino is starting high school, but it's not the happy, exciting event that it's supposed to be. Instead of being with the group of friends she had in eighth grade, Melinda finds herself alone and friendless in the auditorium for freshman...

IT

Date of Review:  Jul 25, 2002
The Bottom Line: Speak is truly an original work that you can read again and again and still be able to find new meaning.
Review: Simply put, this is the greatest book that I have ever read. It delves into the psych of a 15-16 year old girl who is just entering high school. She is faced with a difficult situation at a party that she did not know how to handle which sparks the...
