I'm really surprised the summary at the top of Goodreads lays it all about the sexual abuse...I'm sure the metaphoric descriptions throughout the book would be obvious to an adult, but for me, a sheltered 11 year old reading it in 1995, it was a HUGE plot twist (but not the only plot twist) when it was finally...

The only thing that bothers me about this book is the summery given on the back. I went so far that I put a sticker on the back of my copy, so when I lend it to friends they can read it without bias.
I personally think this book is NOT about a girl being raped by her stepfather. Of course that happens, too, but...

This is kind of a weird book. On the one hand, it's a Cinderella romance story between poor, abused, untrusting Mel and rich, glamorous, rock star Mitch. On the other hand, it's also the story of how Mel takes charge of her life after her mother's breakdown. And on the third hand, there's a hefty dose of social...

I really enjoyed the characterization on Egg. I thought the way that Lockie's parents handled his depression and teenaged sulking were funny. There's a lot of funny with this book. I also enjoyed that it didn't wrap up in a perfectly happy ending.
I read the book first. Now I know there was a book...

Simon Hawke's novelization of Friday the 13th, published more than seven years after the film was originally released, hits all the right notes and mostly avoids hitting the wrong ones. It's been awhile since I've seen Friday the 13th, but from what I remember, the plot of Hawke's novel seems to follow...
