5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutley brilliant, August 26, 2000

This review is from: I Never Loved Your Mind (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was simply a work of genius. The characters of Dewey and Yvette were completely plausible in the era in which the book was written, and the story is excellant. Although it has to be read slowly and with a dictionary (at times), it is utterly worth it. Great for first-time readers of Paul Zindel.

This review is from: I Never Loved Your Mind (Library Binding)

it's a shame that more holden caulfield refugees do not happen to seek shelter in this book that often, because it is wonderful.dewey daniels is a wunderkind. cocky, handsome, the epitome of angst and with enough brains to spare, he takes it upon himself to drop out of school (which let's face it, if you really know the basics, is a waste of time) and begins working at a hospital where he meets hippie, vegetarian, lovely, ice queen yvette whom is also a dropout.and boy chases girl hijinks ensue.this book is rather dated but in a lovely way, and is really witty for a teenage marketed book.cheers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fairly insightful, January 25, 1998

This review is from: I Never Loved Your Mind (Mass Market Paperback)

This isn't a bad book, it's a good insight into a certain kind of teenage boy's mind and heart, and shows some of the problems with entering into a physical relationship lightly.
