Summary: Cut
Comment: I definately enjoyed the book Cut. At first I wasn't sure about it because it didn't relate to anything I had read and enjoyed before previously. Once it started going though, I couldn't put it down! It's obvious that she put a lot of effort and research into it. I'm not used to reading a book about som,eone with "mental issues", and I actually began to understand them better instead of wondering why someone would do something like that to themselves.
The main character, Callie, had a very strong personality. She was rebellious and intended for things to go her way. She felt as if she didn't belong there, even though she cut herself. It seemed like her whole family had problems, especially her father. That alone is enough to drive a person insane. It also seemed like she matured too quickly, didn't have enough time to be a kid.
Reading about the cutting itself was shocking. The way it explains what she's feeling while she does it, how she doesn't feel any pain, the endorphin rush, is all enough to baffle one's mind. Also, how she runs. This "white out effect" is fascinating. She doesn't see anything but her feet. She has no control. If something like that is going on then professional help is needed. Yet once Callie has access to it, she refuses to budge.
This book touches a whole new ground in the medical field for me. I enjoy things that have to do with the medical profession. I read this book knowing very little about teenage psychiatric patients, even though I know a significant amount about other ares. I realized how much they're linked, and also learned a lot I didn't know. I definately recommend this book to people who enjoy teen books, but it seems a bit too young for adults.

Summary: online book review
Comment: The book I have recently finished is called Cut. It is about a girl named Callie who is placed in a treatment center called Sea Pines. The girls in treatment have realized that Callie hasn't been talking ever since she got there. She won't talk to them she won't even talk to her own parents. Her case is that she is a cutter. Until Sydney her roomate starts to talk to her about how she doesn't want to see her cutting herself or hurting herself in any form or way. When Callie decides to talk for the first time everybody is in shock. The other girls who are in for treatment have problems such as anorexia, cutting and obisity. When a new girl Amanda come's in Callie finds out that she is in for cutting her wrists aswell. Then she comes to the conculsion of why she is cutting herself.
Overall I enjoyed this book because I like reading about books that are real and what people are really going through in the "real" world.
People who would enjoy this book would be if you don't like to read about the same old book's about love that you already know the ending too.

Book Review
Cut by Patricia McCormick was an excellent read. Callie is a normal teenage girl starring on the track team, with lots of friends. When everything around her starts to pile up, she decides to slit her wrists as a way of relieving the pain bottled up inside her. Her mother finds out and sends her to Sea Pines, a correctional facility. This book leads you through her route of self discovery there. You feel like you are there and you just want to help her but you can't, and you can almost hear Callie's voice trying to break through. It's happy but sad at the same time and this book helped me realize a lot of things about my own life. I think the author was trying to send a message to mainly teenage girls about the consequences of slitting or the hardships of self destruction. This book was written really well and it kept you guessing and hoping for more and it teaches you a great lesson so that is why I enjoyed it.
