Summary: You HAVE to read this book!!
Comment: Junk is one of the best books I've ever read.. well, actually it's THE best book I've ever read. I started off disliking Melvin Burgess's style of writing, but now I see it as it is, nothing but genious. The way each chapter is written from another character's point of view is amazing, and the characters are painted fantastically. I found myself laughing out loud, or standing up and screaming at the inanimate book when things went wrong! I completely fell in love with Tar, and I felt as if Gemma was sitting next to me and reading these words to me... plus I have a new found love of dandelions!! If you don't have time to read this book, get time, because it may do to you what it did to me.. it gave me an entirely different outlook on life.. I wouldn't say it put me off drugs at all, but it certainly was honest, rather than just telling me "All drugs are bad. Never do drugs." If you have any interest in anything at all, then read this book!! JUNK ROX!!

Summary: Read this great book!
Comment: We have read `Junk` in our English lessons. After having read an extract from this book I thought it was a bad book. It is only about running away, taking drugs, dying or coming back home at the last moment. But with every page I read it got better and better. Particulary I like the love story of Gemma and Tar. Although she doesn't love him the friendship between them has something interesting and special. It is sad when Gemma only thinks about herself and forgets Tar, but it is so beautiful if they are together, so that it makes you forget their problems a little bit.
Another good thing is that the book is written in a special way. Each chapter is written from another point of view. So one story is told from different points of view.
So I only can say: Read this book. You won't regret it.

Summary: trainspotting jr
Comment: When I first read junk i thought that it was a good if not great look at children and heroin. Then I read trainspotting and noticed that not only had Melvin Burgess stolen his idea of heroin addiction off of the scottish author but he had also stolen the disconnected writing style used by Welsh. If you want a kids read, read junk, if however you want an adult look at addiction read an original book like Junky or Trainspotting. Junk is a n enjoyable read but the characters are too tame to provoke a true emotional response.
