Every teacher should read this. Every student should read this. We all should have a better understanding of those not like ourselves. Follow it up with Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper.

Like Rules by Cynthia Lord [b:Rules|222458|Rules|Cynthia Lord|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1286554843s/222458.jpg|1139031]every teacher and student should read this book. I'm now on the search for a strong male character to compliment these books.

There was one point close to the end that I felt didn't really need to be in the book. The girl had already suffered a lot and as I was reading this particular section I thought "Does she really need to experience this too?" It just felt like one more set back. That kept it from being 5 stars.

I am torn about this book. A character who is ADD/ADHD and learning how to handle it - excellent! Some of the descriptions about his behavior - disturbing. I was doing the audiobook and a couple of times I had to stop listening for a bit until I could get my head ready to handle the situation. If I read the rest of the series I will probably do it in book form not audiobook.

a modern retelling of Sleeping Beauty...although i enjoyed it i enjoyed Beastly more...something about this one didn't hook me enough

yeah...didn't like it at all

felt a little disjointed

jury is still out
