Customer Reviews

this is one of the books that got me reading in the first place

I found this book at my Libary and i liked it because of the title. skimmed a few pages and decied to check it out this book is great but i can never find it anywhere!

Wow...just, wow

When I came across this book in our school library I picked it up simply for the neato cover. okay, so I DO tend to judge a book by it's cover, but this is one case where it turned out for the better. This book has very thought provoking stuff and I love the way it's written. Plus, I got to pick up a shiney little ryhme, Swede-On-A-Bead, TeeHee. I'll shut up now, since this is acually a very good book and by having an idiot like me review it would probably only discourage potential readers.

Asylum for a Nightface

Despite the ratings the book has been given, this is one of my favorite books by Brooks. Like all of his books, you need to dig a little deeper for the real, hidden meaning. It doesn't hit the point it is trying to make- on purpose. You have to find the point yourself. Don't get this book if you don't enjoy having to think about it after. It explores the lives of teenagers, but presents itself in such a fasion that you don't realize it at first. A wonderful book, will always be one of my favorites.
