Book Reviews of Among Friends
Book Review: "Among Friends" Review
Summary: 5 Stars
Caroline B. Cooney seemed to have written an amazing book on the problems that teenagers face while in their high school years. "Among Friends" tells the story from the teenagers point of view. There isnt just one main character. Instead the author did a wounderful job keeping your attention by having six main characters. Each teenager is writing in their journals and discussing the problems that are accuring at school.
I found this unique way of writing to be cleaver and catchy because each problem that comes up is seen in a different piont of view. Also it made you think of which character you could relate to the most and what you would do if you were put in that posision.
A good example of the different perspectives would be when Pual first came to school. Everyone thought that the reason of why Pual was telling anyone about himself was because he was keeping all these exciting adventures from the class. Unforutantley that wasnt true. Instead the reason why Pual wasnt saying anything was because he was scared of fasing the truth and he was ashamed of his life at home. Not knowing this, all the kids at school were pressuring him to tell them information about his life.
By reading the other kids journals it was helpful to see how the same situation should be solved in different perspectives. Amy was going to wait untill he felt like he wanted to tell and the other kids just felt like they needed to know.
Overall I felt that this book was an excellent book. I also felt that it was extreamly helpful seeing that other kids went through the same things that teenagers today are going throught and being able to read about it. This book was something that I could relate to in real life and I would highly recommed this book for anyone who likes to read suspenceful books that will always keep you guessing.
