this is just a review and recommendation to read the book Stargirl.

i'm not gonna reveal the whole plot, i'm only going to say, its a terrific book.it touches on unusual topics like conformity and the definition of "normal" in the human mind. this "stargirl" breaks the norm in a high school and gets very different and varying reactions. the book doesn't hold much action (how much action can one get in a school?) as well as romance. its a compelling story nonethless, made even more interesting by its uncomplicated line.

it is not boring.definitely not.despite lacking in the common angst and fighting scenes found in bestsellers, it makes up with its intricately simple plot that belies the depth of the books meanings. while reading, you'll really have to read between the lines and think to grasp what the author is trying to portray and show you.

i'm starting to write it like i were writing a lit essay for my teacher.lol.well i'll cut it short and just say this.

it is one book that anyone who appreciates literature should not miss

only a person who thinks individualistically can fully understand what's going on.like i said, its a book with a deep meaning

i loved that book ^^ i read it a few years ago
tons of people in my school said it was freaky and they didn't like it...

after reading that book...i did some things i'd would never do in school
like carry a dragging string on the floor *in high school* with my invisible dog...sock <3

i thought it was really sad book too, how they treated her...

wow, PAche, you love to read and analyze literature... you'll be a sooper smart woman one day ~(^_^~(

i have read a few books that deal with *between the line* type of analysis, but recently my life had been obfuscated by other pertitent factors. (aka, studies related to work, self outlook development)

The book's title honestly sounds dumb to me, but I don't judge by covers. One more thing, can you list the author and publisher, else give us an ISBN to track your book down. I know some high school kidz that would be interested in reading it.

that's the name the girl chose for herself, its one of the topics the author shows, really.about names.of course stargirl aint her real name but once you read you'll find out why she changed it

Oh! A lot of my classmates read it last year and loved it! I hope to read it once I get a chance! It sounds really interesting!

oh good!! yeah its really cool^^ ummmmmmm............i did read the book stargirl^^ its a good book.....at the end she got a porupine neck tie i think from this dude or sumthing?! its that she came to a new school with new styles and stuff and the like a boy........i think he liked her back?

This is interesting!! I really like this kind of topics... about society. In our class, we have tackled something like this. About the comformity of the normal and the abnormal. :) It's a play, "Rhinoceros" by Eugene Ionesco. :) And I really like it. :D
If I will have some time, I'll look for that book. ^^ Thanks for sharing it!! :D

yeap these kind of topics are interesting.it also sorta shows you how superficial you have been as well

I read this book but it's kind of confusing to me....don't know why though!

Oh yeah, I remember that book. It 'was' really good. The cover is how I really remember it :) I'd recommend "Speak" too.
