Burned Audiobook

" the ending of this novel is the worst ending to a story I have ever read. that's what ruined the book for me. "

" Ellen Hopkins writes about real life; the stuff that we don't always want to face. Her books show us the possiblity of hope but they also show despair and struggle. Because so much of our literature for teens is fantasy, adventure, etc. and not brimming with connections to our real world, I do feel that sometimes reading falls short of presenting any pertinent message on real life issues. Hopkins doesn't shy away from these and she does it without worrying about having to come clean at the end with a happy conclusion. Good for her. "

" Such a great story that I cried at the end because it was over. "

" wasn't a huge fan of the ending, but still a good read! I love Ellen's writing style. "

" I liked the idea of it, but the first part was hard to get through. It took me awhile but when you get to the end you are glad you read it! Loved the ending, just because it seemed like it fit...I don't know how to word it. I felt like I didn't need to know more. So that is why I like the ending. Haha :) "

" Right up there with Crank as one of my favorites by her. "

" I listened to this audio book while commuting to and from work and it definitely kept me entertained. No award winning book but it was a nice light "read". "

" This is definently one of my favorite books. Its one of the ones that makes you stop and think about the life that your living. I recomend it to anyone who likes to read about real life situationa. But be prepaired with tissues at the ending. "

" Some parts in the middle were cheezey yet this book was read in two days! Super good! "

" Hmmmmm. Suffice to say, not a book for people who like happy endings. "

" Horribly sad. "

" My daughter introduced me to this book. I really like it. Fast read. "

" I was a blubbering idiot at the end of this one. A wild emotional rollercoaster ride! "

" it was good i liked it it was intersting i would read it again "

" This has to be one of the most evocative books I have ever read. The poetic form masterfully portrayed everything that was going on, and it was so easy to get attached to the characters. This is one of those books that as soon as you get it you can't put it down! "

" I'm torn because I loved the love story but completely hated the horrible ending. I know we can't have happy endings all the time but this one just hit me. Awful tragic. "

" This book was really eye opening to me. I had the same experience. With literature opening my eyes to things unseen before. There is a second book coming out and I can't wait to read it!!! "

" I loved this book. This book reminded me of my life completely. of course the crazy end didn't happen to me but other then that it was like my life. this is one of my favorite books and i loved how the ending was twisted and unexpected. it was sad yet good. Ellen Hopkins is the best "

" I really loved this books it's one of my favorites. The ending was to die for ;) "

" Her account of life situations can be very brutal, but probably accurate. The situations that dealt with the father and the abuse was very disturbing to read. "

" Best Ellen Hopkins books out of every single one she wrote. I cried at the end "

" Appalling ending, but other than that, an extremely interesting YA novel- the story told in poetry format was very interesting. "

" I thought this was a very thought provoking book! The main character is a high school Mormon girl who battles with finding love and obeying God and her father's wishes. Once again, Ellen Hopkins has amazed me with her power to make me sympathize and fall in love with her characters! "

" I really like this book alot "

" An engaging page-turner, but I couldn't get past the terrible way the main character decides to deal with her problems at the end of the novel. "

" Really good. I couldn't put it down and wound up finnishing it in about 2 days. "

" Well written but extremely depressing. "

" I really like this book alot "

" VERY GOOD BOOK! this was the first book that made me cry, very romantic, and tragic. "

" Like all of Hopkins' books, an empty stomach is the only way you can read this book. "

" I thought this book was a great book because it talked about what teenagers go through. I recommend this book to everyone that likes to read life experiences. "

" just thinking but i think they lied about ethan being dead so she wouldnt see him anymore...i mean just a thought "

" I really enjoyed this book! I have read it several times but don't like the ending! "

" I liked the format of the book was written at first, but as I continued reading I kind of confused me and I think it was a bit distracting to say the truth. This was a good book and I think it had a twist at the end. "

" Must. Read. Not-yet-published. Sequel! "

" Ellen Hopkins might be my favorite author. I love her writing style and this book was absolutely amazing. I would recommend it for anyone, my sister loved it as well. Go grab your copy if you haven't and read, I guarantee you wont wanna put it down! "
