I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this book. I didn’t expect it to be light by any means, given the subject, but the way Whitney handled the issue of date rape, the use of a student-run justice system, and Alex coming to terms with what happened to her amazes me; it seems incredibly rea...
Through the long, painful process of remembering everything that happened the night that she was raped. And it takes a while for her to admit that this is what happened. As soon as she gets back to her room the following morning, Alex's roommate realizes what's up (because she's a really awesome B...
First of all, I'd like thank Magan @ Rather Be Reading for reviewing this book. A positive review of hers is usually a guarantee that I'll like it as well, so I was excited when this one arrived at the library.The Mockingbirds are a completely unique brand of student group at Themis Academy, a boar...
Let's be fair, the minute I get my hands on Insurgent, I'm going to put this aside until that's done.I did end up reading Insurgent before I read this one. I'm not sure I'm glad I did. This was a good book and the mini cliff hangers at the end of the chapters kept me reading far beyond when I should...
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...
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...
