Book Reviews of Girl
Book Review: Young Girl discovers sex drugs and rock and roll v.cliched
Summary: 3 Stars
I thought this was a good book. Although it was quite cliched you are really taken in to the main character - Andrea Marr's life. she is both funny and sad and you really can identify with her. this book personifies what it is like to grow up - even if you don't live in america and don't have a best friend in a band. it is a sweet and touching book and i recommend you read it.Book Review: This book is brilliant!
Summary: 5 Stars
I fully recommend it to all My-so-called-life fans because it is really funny and touching and you can totally identify with all of Andrea's angst.Book Review: Great great great
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best books ever. I related to everything about Andrea Marr. When I finished I cried because I felt like I lost a friend.Book Review: Excellent!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is an excellent piece of work by Blake Nelson. Every teenage girl could relate to to her as I'm sure they had gone through at least one stage of the stages she had been through and experienced. This is a must-have if you are into exploring the gigantic world of teenagers and what they experience.Book Review: Don't watch the film !
Summary: 4 Stars
It's hard how to describe this book. It's the fictional autobiography of one girl which really begins as she turns 18 and learns of the real world, although for us to fully understand her character, Nelson introduces her character on her 16th birthday. On one hand it appears to be an insipid teen romance,yet on the other it offers much more. As you read through the chapters you discover it's much more about finding your true identity and personal growth than just a crush and wild parties.Andrea Marr is at a turning point in her life and the book portrays her ordeal, and how she conquers adolescence. Don't watch the film. I did after reading this and wished I hadn't. It focusses almost entirely on the surface level and only minorly considers the true message of the novel. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who ever felt at a loss as a teenager. It's gripping yet sardonically humorous at the same time. As they say, it'll make you laugh and it'll make you cry and it doesn't patronise. Cross between My-So-Called-Life and Catcher in the Rye.
