Living Dead Girl
Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott
Blogger: Nerdy
Type: Fiction, Book
Age Group: YA
Response: I couldn't put it down. It was scary, even a little sickening at times. I had a sense of dread as the end came rushing up because the situation felt so real, as if I was reading a true account of events. It's simply amazing and not for the weak hearted. Because of the violence and sexual content, especially the fact the main character is sexually abused and brainwashed by her kidnapper for five years, I would recommend this title to mature teens only. I can imagine adults who wouldn't be able to get through it. It's a very uncomfortable topic. I was certainly left uneasy. But parents might want to read it just for a better understanding and how important it is to teach their children about the dangers of strangers! They may not always be suspicious. Alice's kidnapper didn't seem creepy to her. He posed as an aquarium employee. Gripping and very emotional...

The Giver by Lois Lowry
The Giver by Lois Lowry
Blogger: Nerdy
Type: Fiction, Book
Age Group: YA
Response: I finally read this one! I've been told a long time that I HAVE to. I wondered what I was missing. I knew it meant to be a thinker, but it was different than I anticipated. I somehow thought The Giver was exiled an from the community. I'm glad there is a squeal, which I'll have to get to soon. I'd really like to know what the next story was all about. I'm curious to see if this orderly society breaks down.
The giver is a great thought provoker for younger readers. I never read it for school, but I can see why this would be a favorite in English or Reading class. Symbolism and themes. Lots of room for discussions.
But personally it really made me wonder about the good and bad in a society that is so carefully structured. Everyone was taken care of and it was set up so everyone was safe and happy. But self discovery seemed to be non existent. Being an individual is impossible. Would I give that up for being safe...? Of course not, BUT all the same, being taken care of is a nice thought. Trained for a job, being given all I needed to survive.. it is a nice thought. But I couldn't give up the freedom to do what I wanted for that.
