Book Reviews of Smack
Book Review: BEST BOOK EVER!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Smack is by far the best book I've ever read in my life. It's about two 14-year old teens, Tar and Gemma, who run away from their hometown. They meet alot of people and end up moving in with Lily and Rob, older heroin addicts. They get Tar anf Gemma into heroin and the two teens get stuck in a whirl-wind of drugs, sex, and booze. It's a great book about how messed up a persons life can get if you're out on your own. Fourtunatlly, Tar and Gemma get their lives somewhat back together, but they'll always have that addiction with them. This book is real, intence, and a great book. I reccomend this book to a mature audience because of the graphic details and swearing. Everyone should read Smack.Book Review: Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
Oneof my favorite books ever, I read it young and I've been reading it since.
It tells the story of what happens when someone really goes through with the things so many people threaten about. Horrible things happen, people fight and friendships break but someone you manage not to hate everyone in the book.
It's one of those books I'll always love and an insistant read if you EVER get the chance.
Book Review: Biased, Stereotyped, and Based on Total Ignorance
Summary: 1 Stars
Smack is honestly the worst book I have read. Its writings are atrociously biased and are deplorably unrealistic. This book was created solely to scare teenagers straight and ANY teenager knows that this book is based on total ignorance. Foreigners and outcasts of the media-society will be brainwashed and be taught that this is what life is really like for teenagers; false. Also, characters were poorly manifested and even mediocre detail was lacking. The best description for the high of heroin is this: "All of my problems seemed to have floated away." .... This book is truly the weakest attempt to show the life of a drug addict.Book Review: Book " Smack" is very interesting book
Summary: 2 Stars
In my opinion I don't suggest this book to kids that are younger that 13 years old because of the language it has and how it tells you that drugs are the only thing that could make you feel better. As well as, how the teenagers made a bad choices in their life. When I finished the book, I felt like drugs is the only thing I need now, which I know is wrong and I'm not even going to take any, but my point is that someone who'll probably finish the book might think that and do it.
This book is basically about two young teenagers Gemma and Tar who decided to run away from home and go to Bristol. Where they met new friends and started taking drugs and making bad choices, but then they started to realize of what they were doing is wrong, but they cannot stop taking drugs, and so this story unfolds of how Gemma and Tar find their way back home, through the path of where some of their friends had died or even went to the hospital and jails for the rest of their lives, but Gemma and Tar work together to make it safe and sound.
Book Review: Boring!
Summary: 2 Stars
I skipped a lot of pages in this book looking for something interesting.
After this, I'm not even going to read Junk.
