5.0 out of 5 stars A Keeper, August 16, 2004

By	Lit Lover (Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crazy Eights (Paperback)

I read this book for the first time when I was probably 9 years old, and it made an indelible mark on me. I still have the same copy, read and reread countless times. I'm now 33 years old, and I intend to read it again. For those pre-teens, teens, 20-somethings and beyond, it tells a story of how to reach beyond what life throws at you, even when it all seems pointless. It isn't a "feel good" story, but rather a journey into finding how to make yourself happy. If anyone has struggled with identity, pain, depression, or loneliness, or had siblings or friends who have, this book will help you see things from that side of the coin, and give you an appreciation for the simplest blessings in life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Enjoyed!, August 12, 2006

This review is from: Crazy Eights (Paperback)

I really liked this book. I read it this year, at age 13 (don't tell anyone)all most 14, and it really made a mark. It told me that my life wasn't bad and, even though there may be a lot of drama in it, there are other people that have many more problems than drama in their's. I told some of my friends about this book and they all loved it as much as I did. This book really stood out to me from all the books I've read and I really enjoyed Crazy Eights. Thank you for writing it.

I loved this book because it was so honest and truthful. It made me feel real. I enjoyed it and would recommend this to young adults and teens stuggling with an identity crisis.
