Speak is a passionate book about a girl's suffering and embarrassment after being raped. Her simple, yet exquisite emotion is portrayed bluntly. The girl's story of her first high school year is told as candid and awful as possible. This story is helping teenage girls tell the truth about their feelings, and SPEAK up for themselves.

This book is about a girl who had one bad experience at a party, causing everyone to hate her. I can't give too much more away but you should really read it. It's pretty dark but funny in some places. I couldn't stop reading it... very good book

From the beginning, the Top Ten lies they tell in high school, this book held my attention.

wow. that's all I have to say. Funny, but it makes you really think about the outcasts you know. What are their stories? If you've never read this one, you should.

My favorite Laurie Halse Anderson book. I read it in the 7th grade and have loved it sense.

I liked this book very much, even though at the same time it kind of surprised me and disturbed me. But I still liked it a lot. Plus Laurie Halse Anderson is one of my favorite authors, too.

Speak is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE books, and Laurie Halse Anderson is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE authors. In both of the books I’ve read by her, have been exciting, and so good I couldnt put them down!!

This book is the total truth about being a Freshman it is true about clicks and all sorts of things. This book keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole way. I Highly recommended this Book to any freshman girl!

There is a good reason this book has won awards.

Speak is an AWESOME book, I could totally realate to Mel, with the being a freshman, high school clik problems. Mel also has a secret but is afraid to tell anyone. It keeps you reading.

I read this book only because it was highly recommended to me, and I read Fever 1793 by the same author. But I personally hated this book! It gave me nightmares! The story is really dark, and it's almost scary, but not in a spooky, enjoyable way, but in a way that you don't want to finish the book. I wouldn't recommend this book.

This is possibly the best book I have ever read. It fallows Melinda, a Freshman that no one likes. You learn of her devistating secret that she dosn't have the courage to share with anyone. And by the end of the book, you find why it is so important to speak.

This book is about a girl who called the cops at a end of the school year party. When she went back to school the next year all her friends iginored her. This book is about the girl and her troubled through the school year.

When I started the book I began to get depressed by the story. Then as you became involved you learned of her troubles and how many people can decieve you without thinking of it. The girl:At the end of eight grade she goes to a party,a high school party.She doesn't know what to expect but feels obligated to drink and get invovled with a guy. When he goes to far and she is uncomfortable and drunk she calls the police. Everyone finds out and she is shunned.

It's a great book. Most of the exciting part takes place in the begenning or the end. The middle part just talks about the same thing. But it's still a great book to read.

I found this book to be a pleasant read. The story was written in a very lighthearted way; making the dark undertones all the more garish and sad. The only part of the book I disliked was the anticlimatic ending, which was a big disapointment. Otherwise, there's good reason why this book got so many rave reviews!
