It's amazing. Yuo have to love it. There's a lot of metaphors, and emotional damage, and character development. You can swear you're there, they're like real people. It's wonderful.

[spoiler]
The story is about her getting raped, the main character, and then, because she got raped at a party and called the police, peple got arrested for throwing such a mess, and now people hate her for ratting so many out. She becomes quiet and does terribly in her first year of high school, failing most of her classes. There's a lot of sarcastic humour, like 'Ten lies they tell you in High School: One, we are here to help you'. It's a It's a really good book. Pick it uo rom the library. You don't really know she gets raped until like, more than halfway through the book.[/spoiler]

Anyway, you should all go. It's wonderful. Real emotions, real descriptions, and it's not badly written at all. Pure and true and funny and honest and raw. Read it.

I don't care what anyone says. The "mystery" was painfully obvious, and I will continue to not love this book. Sorry to be such a downer. I don't like Picoult, either. Rebel, that's me.

I'm planning on reading it soon. My sister read it and really loved it. She showed me an excerpt and I was cracking up. It was the part titled "code breaking." That's a teacher of mine to a T. lol =) I watched the movie with Kristen Stewart in it last night and loved it, so I'm thinking it's time to read the whole book. ^_^
