Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson


I just finished another book today. I told you I've been inhaling books. Anyhow, I loved the way Anderson writes in this book. It leaves an impression. She phrases things in ways that I would never have thought to. It's a great book about depression and the inability to properly communicate things that need to be communicated. The matters of high school were hard for me to relate to, but as I'm sure I'm older than the target age of this book, I guess that makes sense. It's a rather heavy book for teens, but books like this are the kinds of books people need to read to balance out the endless nauseatingly sweet books. It reminds you of reality.
