Touch

O Boii.is it 0ver yet??HUGE DISSAPOINTMENT..B0Ring!!

This book was worst than OK it was ughh.I picked it up looking for a good read, something 2 keep my attention.But i got the exact opposite.Its about this girl who leaves her bestfriends who happen to be boys, goes to live with her mother and new stepdad;total brat, to avoid her annoying stepmom.When she decides to live with her dad and stepmom again her body is developed and her "best" friends are horn dog teenage boys.Their friendship starts to fall apart.....yadda yadda yadda....yadda yadda yadda.They ask if they can squeeze her boobs,..she says no....they do anyway.I know, it sounds good,but trust me its not.The beginning gets you going and you're excited to continue.The middle,just makes you want to burn the book;from boredom.And unfortunately,i cant even tell you about the ending,because i didn't read it,i couldn't,and believe me,i tried to finish it...but...Got the book 2 months ago,and the page i left at is still bookmarked.I struggled to get through what i already read...{im done struggling and pushing myself to read some boring book thats not all itsz cracked up to be}.She complained way to much.I wanted to slap her and tell her to at least try to take control.I know the book does have a message,but its one everyone knows about very well by now.And where im from, a boy squeezes your boob(s) without your consent,you punch/kick them in the balls,or beat the crap out of them..etc (your choice).Its not even a big deal in my school, a boy grabs your butt or boob...you're not labeled as a slut or whore like in the book...and everyone pretty much forgets about it after you do watever to whoever grabbed you.And no therapy needed after words..It could just be a bad book..or its just not my taste.But i can tell you,im upset i wasted my money on this book and im going to avoid ALL Francine Prose books from fear of getting ripped off another $18 dollars.

Awful! Well, it was ok. The ending was terrible

It was intriguing at some paarts but...

Boring

I didn't like this book at all. It was very boring. She kept repeating the same things over and over. Nothing new happened in the middle of the book, she just kept restating her feelings. I can't tell you how it ended cause I barely read the ending. I skimmed the end because I was so bored with the book. I wouldn't recommend for anyone to read this book. It wasn't very descriptive either.

Very heavy

Prose does an excellent job of handling what is likely to be considered a difficult topic to address in young adult literature. Even though the main character is 14 and books featuring 14 year olds are typically read by 10-14 year olds, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone younger than 14.

The aspects of Maisie's life regarding growing up, trying to find independence with two separate sets of parents, and her changing body are explored with tact and honesty, but everything involving 'the incident' takes it from about 10mph to 70mph in no time flat. There is a level of ambiguity about the incident that plays up the story overall in an interesting way. However, personally I didn't enjoy reading the book, but I suppose that's not necessarily the point. I commend Prose on her courage in addressing difficult issues like sexual harassment and her honesty regarding all parties surrounding them.

I was touched..

Touched was a captivating read about a teenage girl discovering the cruelheartedness of adolescents and the impact of telling lies. A very thought provoking first novel.

it's a pager turner.

not because it gets really exciting and you want to know what happens next. its just a book that you won't stop reading until you know the final answer. but i didn't understand it.
