The book „Speak“ was written by the novelist Laurie Halse Anderson, who was born in 1961 in the USA and lives now in New York. There was a number of awards, which she gained through Speak.

Melinda Sordino, who’s 14 years old, decided to spend the evening together with her friends at a party. Everything was perfect until something disastrous happened, which made her phone the cops.

Melinda’s appearance is shy, coy and she’s not able to speak out what she’s on her mind.

She spent the last weeks of her vacancies reclusively. When school starts again she’s nobody to talk, because her friends tergiversated from her. Melinda’s an OUTCAST. She’s suffering from her loneliness until she meets Heather, who’s new at the High-School as well. Unfortunately it wasn’t a too long friendship.

Her reclusiveness rose and rose until she didn’t even speak a word. There were not many enjoyments left in her life, but one of those was art. She was good at drawing

After a while she took heart to tell her ex-best friend about the happening of the party-evening. As she told (wrote) her that she was raped by Rachel’s boyfriend, she didn’t believe her. Anyway, the information spread in speed of light, and she could finally speak again, which made this end a happy end (ina way :P)

Gosh darn it... Have I really been so innocent to believe this book was kind of exciting? I mean 200 pages, which could be explained in about 5 words. Though the story is topical it’s boring. There were moments I could hardly stay awake.

If I hadn’t paid for this book I’d have put this book onto a bonfire… I mean I’d have slammed it onto a bonfire. But well duty is duty

Ofc you can’t always get books you like (never had the luck though)… Hope you enjoyed reading xD
