Book Reviews of Speak

Book Review: An Inspiring Book
Summary: 5 Stars

A book I have recently read is called Speak. It is about a teenage girl named Melinda Sordino who is an outcast at her high school because she called the cops to the final summer party of the year, so she explains that Melinda Sordino starts high school a few weeks after she was raped at a teen drinking party. She is outcast by everyone at school because she called the police on their party (but did not report the rape) and is almost entirely mute. As the year goes on, through her art Melinda is able to tell about what happened to her. Many of my friends and teachers have recommended this book to me; they have told that this book has impacted their life in some way. I say it is inspiring to many teenage girls. It is also a brisk strived emotional book. I would also recommend this book to adults and teenage girls Melinda's age. What I like is the way the book is written and they was they speak (tone). There is a connection I did see and it was that many teenage girls are not smart like Melinda was but you have open your eyes and see the world like other people do. By Jasmine Ruedas p.2 1/28/09
