Are you kidding me???

This book showed up on a list of summer reading options for my daughter.  Based on the synopsis, it sounded pretty interesting, since she was in the middle of another book at the time, I read the book first.  Never have I been so disappointed.  The characters were weak, weak willed and entirely one dimensional.  The nice girl who turns mean, the poor victim, the mousy weak willed friend, the overworked overtired mother blind to her child's needs.

The bullying and relationships portrayed in the book are fairly realistic at times in regards to the bully's behavior, but Anna makes far too convenient a victim.  She is weak willed and very passive aggressive, and the author seems to support this when blame for the suicide attempt is put on everyone BUT the person committing suicide.

The final "big moment" in this book is the note from the victim to the aggressor, and that in itself is such a letdown, it made me feel like I had slogged through the whole mess for nothing.

If the book didn't explore the nature of the sexual relationships of the girls and the boys in their lives, it might be an appropriate story for younger readers, but kids over 12 will likely see the one sidedness and the willing victim and find that this story doesn't do a lot to prevent or explore the topic in question.

I didn't say much to my daughter when I handed the book off to her, but after the first couple of chapters, she asked if we could pick a different book from the list.  Her reason?  Anna is just a big attention needy whiner.

I was once a teen, and I truly know how difficult it can be and understand bullying and emotional abuse is an issue, but this book fails to really reach the depth required to address the topic.

I just received mine, and guess what, instead of the "digital indicator" there is a stupid tag to put on and mark your calender. it is intentionally misleading info they are posting. I thought it was my mistake, but double checked and in the description and the picture you see that there is a digital indicator. I WANT MY MONEY BACK.

Is it supposed to be funny??? I didn't get it.... the only thing I got is, if I make racist, misguided, unbacked, self righteous rants and have long blond hair I can publish anything and get paid for it....

This non-sense is getting old.  Meter it out to the public in bite-size form to extend the profits.  When will we learn this tactic on this set of movies.  And Digital copies are a sham, I've never had one work for me.  I'm avoiding them in the future.  Enjoy, just know your being taken advantage of....again.

Are you kidding me? Over fifty bucks for this piece of junk? I am the crazy lady who bought two. One to cut. One to leave whole. The ones I cut needed two dolls. Three costumes do not remotely fit the doll in the book. Are you trying to teach us a lesson, Norma? Don't cut out the dolls? I bought two. One to leave uncut, one to cut. That tells me the real shape and depth of the outfit. That also reminds me of the days my friends and I spent many happy hours playing paper dolls. That was both before and after Barbie dolls. I will not buy any more Norma Lu Meehan paper dolls. This was how I felt when I first posted this review. I am still upset, but not so much.

OK Amazon, I'm willing to say I love my bed, but we just met see, and maybe in six months time I will need a new bed, then I'm going to think you made me look like a fool.  Did I really say I loved it?  Sheesh take me for a ride.

IS HE SERIOUS!? He is trying to be someone different and do a different style but this shat sucks major. I am disappointed, thank heavens I bootlegged it!

Drake is better than this, he downgraded with this album as if he just didn't try hard enough. Seriously only 4 snogs are good and those are the ones where he is talking about women. I hope this is a joke album and the new one is coming in September, I'll just wait on it.

the picture in this ad is completely wrong, which I will say is TERRIBLE marketing, and I REFUSE to believe something so detremental to an online sale, yet so ELEMENTARY in the scope of what a good ad needs, and doesn't, that this just "slipped by" management or editing dept. prior to this ad having been given the "go ahead" to be posted!
  Let's just entertain for a moment (for the sake of good argument via simple contrast) the thought of an ad being posted for...... we'll say.....  a playstation 3!  So, as the ad for this item is being edited to help keep sales moving and just to "freshen it up" a bit, the individual responsible for this edit decides to find a better picture to place with this Ad...  As it happens, said individual happens to be as "in the dark" a person as one could possibly come in the way of being privy to ANY and ALL things to do with the gaming industry, or even electronics and gadgets in general....  So (moving on...) this space cadet finds a pic that he/she feels is simply unignorable and could likely sell these units right out of stock without even needing to post a description, so they put the new pic in the post, and weeks later it turns out this person was RIGHT!  After the edit, the PS3's are almost sold out.  Even management is hooting n hollering. ...  That is, until the 1st of a million calls with complaints come rolling in with people ALL WANTING TO KNOW THE SAME THING.  "I ordered a PS4 which was on a great sale and plainly pictured', but to my dismay, when I frantically tore the packege open, I found that a PS3 had been sent by mistake!"

This situation would be BAD!  And to more thorough persons, it may sound unlikely.  But I can promise you, before a mistake like this was fixed, there would be PLENTY of people who just glance at a picture and a price and click "add to cart" and expect without question, to be recieving in a short time, the EXACT ITEM they saw in the pic, and when this doesn"t happen, the vast majority will feel bamboozled and won't be calling to speak to anyone in a civil or adult manor!  Bad!

BAD BUSINESS AMAZON!  Stop slackin on ur pimpin!

This is a joke. I could have made this myself. All this was, was an image of the movie poster printed on glossy photo paper. I'd have asked for my money back, but I figured I deserved to suffer for being stupid enough to order this.
