 Rating:  - It's Tough Being a TeenagerEarlier this year, I read Twilight simply because a friend raved about it. I was very surprised that I would enjoy a young adult novel so much. I liked it so much, I decided to join the young adult challenge. I saw Twisted reviewed on another blog and decided that it would be the first book in this challenge. I enjoyed it very much. As a high school teacher, and the mother of a teenage boy, I found the character of Tyler to be very realistic. Anderson has managed to capture the ...

Read to see why not a 5As I started reading "Twisted", I really found it very realistic since all this could easily be pictured in a teenager's world in that given scenario. It was quite a page turner but as soon as I got to the end, I mean it really felt like a loose ending and really too corny for my taste. Overall the book deserves a 5 but the ending really was disspointing so I give it a 4. Rating:  - Laurie Halse Anderson does it again!Laurie Halse Anderson has scored another hit with Twisted. I am a huge fan of her book Speak and think that this book is just as good as that one. As a high school librarian I am always looking for well-written books where the protagonists are realistic and relatible. This book gives us both. Plus, I like it that the main character is a male. I can recommend this book to both male and female students and I do. Rating: - Twisted Tale Of Teenaged Minds And What Teenagers FaceI was in the bookstore and saw the cover. When I see a cover I really like, I always look at the flap to see what it's about. I thought it sounded pretty good, so I bought it, but didn't end up reading it until about a month after my purchase. I was skeptical at first abouyt Laurie Halse Anderson's "Twisted" because the first few pages were a little slow, but once you got into the book, it was a bit hard to put down. It was an honest look into the mind of a teenager, and what teenagers ... Read More
