Interesting how our own personal experiences shaped our feelings of Speak. You know from reading my review today that I personally dealt in silence and gave the book a 5. :) I think Nymeth's right, there are as many ways as dealing with things as there are people/problems.

Laurie Halse Anderson has a new one now too, Wintergirls - but again, might be a bit out of our age range. :)

Can it really be Tuesday and I'm now reading this? and a slow Tuesday it is, too, because I thought you were going to give us six WORD reviews and I was about to complain that you exceeded the limits! ha. NOW. WHERE can I get (and what exactly does it look like?) this costume you speak of: “I’m a fully grown woman who shouldn’t yearn to believe in the unbelievable” - I think this is what I'd like to be on Halloween.

I've heard great things about Skellig, and bought a copy a couple of months ago. I haven't gotten to it yet, but I am glad to hear another voice saying it's a great read.

Very impressive 6 sentence reviews! Nymeth put Skellig on my list awhile back. Looks like I'll have to bump it up! :-)

That's pretty good that you only had one dud in the bunch. I really enjoyed Speak.

I know what you mean about Speak!!

Great reviews!
I'm thinking I'll have to give Skellig a try!

Skellig is a great book! I actually teach it in my Children's Lit courses for college students studying to be education majors. We talk about a lot of the adult issues therein including the homeschooling vs. public schooling debate. It's a really interesting read, and my students really like it. Sadly, I haven't ever picked up another Almond book, but from what I hear his other offerings aren't much like this one.

I love this review format and you do it so well, Joanne, considering it's only six sentences. Really well-written and thought out. Skellig sounds good - I love books that can make you jump back into the childhood world again. And Speak is on my wishlist. I saw the film and kind of enjoyed it (as much as you can with that film/book). :)

I need to review Skellig, too, but since I have also read The Savage by him now I think I will just review them together! I really liked Skellig, too!

2009-09-26T22:09:54.295-03:00

YAY! I loved Skellig - ever since I discovered it, I get so excited when other people read and enjoy it too. So glad you liked it!

I'm so glad you loved Skellig too! Almond really is amazing. And you're absolutely right about Speak: there are probably as many ways of dealing with something like that as there are people it happens too.
