review 1: I think this book is very awesome!! I recommend this book to 13 years and older. It's just Realistic and it shows and tells you that people have a messed up life. R.D is the main character who just doesn't know how to get his life together. My favorite part of the book is when, R.D took Jeanette to the dance. Once they walked in Jeanette saw Sterling,her crush, dancing with his girlfriend. Jeanette was so upset she ran to the carpenter room. R.D ran after her to figure out what was wrong. When he caught up with her she told him why she was so upset. After that, R.D pulled down here sleeve and demanded her, No don't do that anymore. She had cuts all over her arms. Jeanette couldn't help it, but she promised not to do it anymore. It just said a lot to me, Their is no need t... moreo cut yourself under in any circumstances. R.D is so nice and sweet he tried to help her and he succeeded. What a awesome thing to do. He is so thankful and considerate. I would love to have a friend like that to tell me not to give up and he/she will always be their for me thru thick and thin. The part that made me upset is when R.D was suspended from school for helping a teacher break up a fight. R.D didn't care that he was suspended either way he had to be sent to high school next year. This book is so interesting when I had to put it down it made me angry. Once I got on the bus, I picked it up once again. It didn't take me long to read it. It seemed like forever though. I will give this book 5 stars! The author did a great job!!!! I would love to see a sequel of this book. Everyone should read this book , trust you will love it like you love your favorite food or your favorite t.v show. You won't regret it.
review 2: This book had me at the first line:"Cat fight - about the only good thing that can happen the first day of school."And kept me going with lines likes these:"He don't get sent to Merit Reform like other kids cuz like I sez, he don't have regular anger, he's got 504 Anger.""Miz Trueblood don't see any of this, that's how new teachers are. They're so busy smiling and teaching their shiny new lesson plans that they don't see nothing.""Then I see her, farther back, Desiree leaning against a pole, watching and laughing with Pepsi Can Girl, who's a real joke - first she claims red, then blue, and she's white the whole time.""Maybe middle school sucks wherever you go.""'You can't come in here, young man,;" sez the librarian, Miz Saroian. . . 'Didn't you read the sign? There's a meeting of the Promotion of Literacy Team in here today.'"And finally, my favorite:"Some people come to the restaurant just to have R.D.'s Rosemary Chicken. It says that right on the menu so I guess I'm sort of famous. Not to anybody I know, but when I'm walking around my school I'm happy just to feel famous inside." less
