All around the book was good. Just some advice i have for the author would be to tell us if the team wins the championship game. He tells us they go to the final but never says who won the game.

I think that if i would give advice it would be to Isabelle. I would say that you don’t need to try and be perfect. No matter how hard someone trys its impossible. Also even though you may think that the prettiest most popular girl is perfect think again shes not. She may have the same problems maybe even more. That would be my advice to Isabelle.

Level 3 code- C

I think the author did a great job writing the book “Freak”.  It deals with things that can really happen to someone in life, and people can relate to the main character “Miriam”.  Also I just wanted to keep reading more of the book and could’nt put it down because it kept my attention. I also like how Miriam sticks up for herself in the end because I think everyone should stick up for themselves and not let someone else push them around. The only thing that could of been better in the book is I think everyone should of treated Miriam better because they were really mean to her. But overall “Freak” is a really good book.

WIC~ From the book Perfect, you could learn to talk about your feelings and not to keep them inside like Isabelle did.  When she didn’t talk about how she felt about  her dad dying, she turned to bullimia.  Then when her mom took away Hanuka, it made her even more upset.  When Isabelle talked to her counsler it made her feel a lot better.  Since Isabelle could talk to someone she stopped using bullimia to get her feelings out.  I think we could all learn from that.

      I liked how the author did not drag out the story. I found that it made it more readable for me and enjoyable. However,   I felt that this made a lack of detail. So my advice for the author would be to add more detail. I felt he threw the characters at me real fast (not for real) .It made them feel less real and lovable. On top of that the ending felt a little half baked. Not that it was as much as bad, but that it felt boring and unreal. I would have gave it more structure, a more real ending. I think that he should have at least told who won the game. Then again that might have ruined the moral of the story.I think the author did a good job overall but it could have had more structure and detail.

WIC   This book taught me that it is ok to talk about the bad things in your life with others. When Ashley didn’t talk or even notice her problem, it only got worse. Isabelle, though, notice her problem, and after talking to her group leader, she didn’t want to perge and binge anymore. So instead of holding things in, that hurt or make you upset, you should talk about them to someone.

Some advice i have for the author is to make the book a little bit longer and more detailed.  Also,  the author could have had more detail about the basketball games and the election.  Lastly,  the author could have told who won the championship game at the end of the book.  This is some advice i have for the author.

Level-3 Code-CDO

I would give miriam’s charater a do-over because i think she should have traded places with her sister deborah. From even the begining where deborah goes to the salon to get a hair cut i think miriam should have done that instead. The outcome of the story would be that miriam would become more popular as she changed sooner to becoming a mature person, and as for deborah she would change back to the “freak” her and miriam used to be. I think that change would have really changed the story in favor for miriam who deserves it more than her rude sister. The change may also create a new person in deborah a nicer, kind and caring person that miriam was since the begining.
