4.0 out of 5 stars Realism at it's finest, February 10, 2001

By

"sarakay54" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Zebra and Other Stories (Hardcover)

I was truly surprised when I finished reading this. It was very realistic and heartwrenching stories. There is a true tone to each and every story. You could see yourself in the stories and they were easy to relate to. Young adults would be able to relate to the characters and the situations that they find themselves in. Each problem that the characters go through could happen everyday in society. It was refreshing to read a book for young adults that models appropriate behavior. Great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of the best books I have ever read!!!, December 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Zebra and Other Stories (Hardcover)

I read a lot, but very few of the books I have read have touched me the way this one did. The varied stories kept the book interesting because the subjects kept changing. Some of them I felt I could relate to and others I couldn't, but I know people who it does relate to and it helps me understand more about them. This is definatly one of the best books I have read.
