5.0 out of 5 stars
Beautifully depressing.,
By Meredith (Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sex Education (Mass Market Paperback)
I just happened to be browsing through my high school library, and picked out this book because of the tital. It turns out that this book doesn't really have all that much do with sex, but it was a splendid read. I loved this book, I read the whole thing in one sitting because its just one of those books you can't put down. Although I was pretty depressed after finishing it, its still worth it. You can learn a lot of valuable lessons from reading Sex Education, I highly recommend it.

Heart-wrenching masterpiece of a young adult novel.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sex Education (Mass Market Paperback)
A wonderfully written novel which does not underestimate the audience it was geared for. Being a teen, I too often see books which talk down to me. Such was not the case with _Sex Education_. This book touched me so profoundly... I cannot remember when a book hasmade me cry for so long, or with so much pain and sorrow inside. I would reccomend this book to those who love a good modern tragedy... and a good cry.

Sex Education Review by Jess Wagenbaugh,
By Mr.Francesco Raphael Galardo of the Catskills (Catskill, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sex Education (Mass Market Paperback)
Sex Education was one of the best books i have ever read. Congradulations to Jenny Davis for writing a terrific novel that can touch the heart of anyone.The main characters are David Kindler, Livvie Sinclair, and Maggie Parker. Livvie is new to her school and she knows no one. David intruduces himself in their Biology class. Their teacher Mrs. Fulton devoted the first semester of the class to sex-ed. The class was assigned projects. Their projects are to care for someone who they don't know. Really care for someone. David and Livvie decide to work together because they feel that their new neighbor Mrs. Maggie Parker could use a little caring for. After all she is pregnant. Livvie and David rush to her house right after school and they will stop at nothing to try and keep Maggie and her baby healthy. The only problem is Maggie's husband, Mr. Parker. He doesn't want anyone medaling around in his or his wife's buisness. Livvie and David go against his will and still go to Maggie's house but leave before the mysterious Mr. Parker arrives home from work. He never was a happy camper. He never greeted them. Not once. Finally, Mrs. Parker had a lovely baby. Thanks to David and Livvie. They completed their assignment. But while this was all going on, David and Livvie began to fall in love. They shared the best of moments together. They were both very sensitave, loveing, and caring people. Livvie came off as shy at first but grew to be a little outgoing. I found that this book had a surprise waiting around every corner. But it was the ending that really got me thinking. In conclusion i would just like to say I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!
