"I bet so many people have said this " I could not put this book down". And that is exactly what happened with me. The ending is just the perfect touch. When you read the book, you have to remember all the things that happened. The author goes back to what happened in the past and puts it perfectly in the writing.
The style is also different. When my friends saw the book, they said how short the chapters were. But after I told them how many chapters were in the book, the could not believe it. " There is 85 chapters!!'
I sometimes got confused on what she was trying to say. The author made the narrators grammar all bad, so it could look like the girl had an accent. I recommend this book to Middle school students and High school students. Virginia Euwer Wolff did it again. : )"
"Wow! What a book! I admit that because of limited selection I simply picked this book from the library shelf without even looking through it. A couple of weeks before reading it, I thumbed through the book and saw the free verse style it is written in and thought, oh boy, I don't know if I'll like this book. But I began to read it aloud to my husband because he was curious about the style. And then I couldn't put the book down! I really enjoyed the author's writing and the emphasis and subtlety surrounding different ideas. LaVaughn was a very believable character and the questions she has are ones I had and even still have today! I loved the fact that neither race nor ethnicity was mentioned. It makes the story more universal. Even though the backdrop of the inner city plays a part, I think most teenage girls could find something to relate to in this character's attempt to sort her place in the world out. I also enjoyed the strong and inspiring spirits found in LaVaughn's mother and teacher. What great role models! I think this book would allow for much discussion and discovery among adolescents who could really dig in and discuss the issues. I only wish books that so beautifully show children that they are not alone in their worries and dreams and desires were available for the youth here in Egypt. And now I must attempt to find the prequel and the sequel to this fantastic read!"
"Told in free verse. This novel is excellent, but problematic. It shows what life is like for city ghetto African Americans who try to work hard to go to college and lift themselves from that life. The core values and triumphs of this novel are good, as the 15-year-old protagonist, LaVaughn, struggles with biology and advanced grammar, but also with her identity. Problems: references to sex education, teen pregnancy and condoms at first (reference to sex ed class, and her mom's warning her that pregnancy might be what would threaten her dreams of college); the real blow to her confidence and world view comes when she walks in on the boy of her dreams kissing another boy."
"This is the 2nd book in the "Make Lemonade" trilogy. The young narrator is moving on with her high school career; growing distant from old friends while moving into new circles when she is identified as college material. The author's stream of consciousness style continues to be almost poetic in beauty."
