Adventures of a Book Junkie
Adventures of a Book Junkie rated it 13 years ago
The Rivals didn't have the same excitement to it that The Mockingbirds did.I did like that we got the inside track to how the Mockingbirds operate and I felt just as lost as Alex did when trying to figure out the right way to go about investigating the case that she was presented with. But, the enti...

I'm surprised at the amount of crappy reviews for this book. Lots of complaints about Alex being a flat character and the premise not being believable. I'll admit right off the bat that I am a horribly shallow reader. I am not one of those people who is analyzing the theme and archetypes while readi...

It has been a while since I read The Mockingbirds, but I got quickly up to speed in The Rivals. The students seem a little older in this series, so much so that I thought they were in college. Though they seem grown up, they make some bad decisions, which is where the Mockingbirds come in. The lates...

I am not sure how I can write a review that truly captures how powerful this book was. The Mockingbirds is about standing up for yourself and being willing to fight for it.Now thankfully I have never been date-raped but I think if I were I would react the same way Alex did in the beginning. She didn...

Wow....seriously, wow. I was blown away by The Mockingbirds. I knew I would like it, it sounded like a fantastic premise, with an extremely powerful message, but I didn't know how much I would like it. In fact, I loved this book! Daisy Whitney has a wonderful writing style. It's straight-forward, re...

I wasn't really sure at first how I felt about this book. It jumped in right from the start with no back story, no lead in. But as I read further and further I got to the point that I didn't want to put it down. I wanted to know what happened because it was so real. The emotions that Alex was fe...

I wanted more from the book than I was given. Even with that, I will say it was a worthwhile read. Set in an exclusive boarding school, the students are as perfect as can be. Perfect enough to maintain their own judicial system since the school seems to wear rose-colored glasses when it comes to t...

I'm finding it really difficult to write a review for The Mockingbirds because I have such mixed feelings about the story. Although I'm usually very careful to avoid spoilers in my reviews I'm going to warn you now there will be spoilers here because I can't talk about what I disliked without going...

This book! My internet has been out all night and I've been sitting here doing mental updates to Goodreads and every single update was "Damn. DAMN."

I recommend that anyone planning to read this start with To Kill a Mockingbird.Alright, now, this is a book about a high school student who is date-raped, both how she personally overcomes this, and how activist students as the school help her. There is, perhaps, too much focus on the procedures to...
