Speak

Well I have read it and it was good! The girl Melinda who just entered high school is a typical lonely girl and is being ditch by all her old friends because she has called the cops on a party they all went to. Though the real reason why she called the police is not something she wants to talk about, so she struggles through the year with her marks decreasing and the relationship with everyone is getting worse. Can't really say more, otherwise I would tell you the end and that would make the book not as well.
The audience is high school students, the book is written of a girl this age and we are just the people who can relate the most to her. It has some beautiful descriptions and her emotions are well described as well. It could be a little bit more well written I think, it's sounds a little childish which makes it not as meaning full anymore. The art project she is doing all year, this part could have been more described at some point, the author only talks about it a little but over the whole book over, but once she could have gone into it real deep so we have better picture of what she is actually handing in the end of the year, as the book is also about this art project. I liked it, I have been through similar struggle and I understood exactly the way she thought and why she has done the things the way she did. The stories shouldn't always be about the rich and beautiful, we all have feelings and we are all just as worth as the the other people in this world, no matter how we look or how much money we have. So if you want to get a different perspective out of the high school stories which are all out there and want to experience something new and full with emotions, then I fully recommend this book.
