The book "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson, was one in which I have no words for. It was a brilliantly thought out book in many ways. This book was very different from all the books I've ever read, because the heart of the story really got out at the end. The entire first half of the book is just describing this girl's lame life. You wouldn't be able to give a decent summary about it unless you read it cover to cover. Although I found the first half a bit boring, I think that's what the author wanted. She wanted to really prove how boring Melinda Sordino's life really was. You couldn't find one bit of appeal or interest in this girl's life until you find out her secret, which is when you really never want to put the book down. I think it was a great book only if you took it from different views like the author's.

The book Speak is a book about a young girl named Melinda who has been deserted by all of her so called "friends" because she called the police about a party that had gotten out of hand over the summer. Melinda is never given the chance by her friends to say who, or what, made her make that call that night over the summer.

Speak is a really intense look into High School, cliques, popularity, and everything else that comes with it.
Melinda, an incoming freshman, goes with her best friend to a wild party at a farm. She gets a little to drunk and some stuff happens. She ends up calling the cops and getting everyone busted. From then on everyone at school hates her, she is completly lost and depressed. Speaks shows your the journey she takes to find herself, fix her mistakes, and heal. Its an awsome, great book and I recomened it to anyone!

I really enjoyed Speak. It's a great read and the author doesn't give away what the character went through right away. It's really well written, unlike some young adult novels. Speak is also touching. I think overall it is one of the many teen books with a situation that we, especially girls, could find ourselves in.
