Speak; a life-changing read

Date of Review:  May 11, 2006
Review: This book could help change someone's life. By telling them to speak up if they we're ever taken advantage of sexually. I mostly recommend this book to teens. This book is about a teenage girl who is having a hard time as it is fitting in at school,...

Review for my favorite book

Date of Review:  Jul 31, 2003
The Bottom Line: Everyone should read this. This is the best book I have ever read and you would all be happy for her at the end of the book.
Review: I loved this book. She was raped at a party. When she called the police they came and arrested people at the party and she lost all of her friends. So she goes around alone. She decorates a school closet so it can be a place for her to be alone. An...

Great Book!

Date of Review:  Feb 24, 2000
Review: This book is a really great book. It holds your attention from start to finish. I recommend the book for anyone in school or anyone with children in school. It shows that no matter how bad life is, someone always has it worse. Also, it shows that...

An Insightful and Realistic Look Into High School Life

Date of Review:  Jul 26, 2005
Review: This book perfectly embodied the tainted essence of high school life. It was realistic, believable, and incredibly easy for teenagers to relate to. The book catches the reader from the beginning (not a book that you have to "get into" before you...

So realistic, why does it have to be?

Date of Review:  Apr 28, 2001
The Bottom Line: I recommend this to anyone who likes to know they aren't alone when facing problems, or that is interested in a tough but tender easy read.

1. 2000 Printz Honor Book

Speak up about this book!

Date of Review:  Mar 24, 2000
Review: Wow! I read this book after reading a review of it here on epinions, and it just blew me away!
Anderson took me right inside this teenage girl's head, took me right back to high school. It made me wonder what was going on in the lives of those...

If you are a teen or know a teen, READ THIS BOOK!

Date of Review:  Oct 9, 2000
Review: And to think, this is a first novel! Although Laurie Halse Anderson has written shorter works for younger children, this is her first teen novel ... and what a novel! Long story short, there's a reason this book was a National Book Award finalist...

Parents, Please Read It; Don't Ban It

Date of Review:  Sep 29, 2009
The Bottom Line: Pardon the pun, the story speaks to high school students - girls, at least - and there's truly nothing in the text a reasonable parent could object to.
Review: Speak was first published in 1999. And it's still quite relevant, to teenagers and their parents.

Because the kids who were three or four when the book came out are now teenagers, there are parents of teenagers just figuring out...
