Explanation Conducive To Books Brutal

With her martyr-doctor mother gone to save lives in some South American country, Poe Holly suddenly finds herself on the suburban doorstep of the father she never knew, who also happens to be a counselor at her new high school. She misses Los Angeles. She misses the guys in her punk band. Weirdly, she even misses the shouting matches she used to have with her mom.

But Poe manages to find a few friends: Theo, the cute guy in the anarchy Tshirt, and Velveeta, her oddly likeable neighbor—and a born victim who’s the butt of every prank at Benders High. But when the pranks turn deadly at the hands of invincible football star Colby Morris, Poe knows she’s got to fix the system and take down the hero.

With insightfulness, spot-on dialogue, and a swiftly paced plot, Michael Harmon tells the story of a displaced girl grappling with a truly dangerous bully.

Notice Epithetical Books Brutal

I've been on a young adult reading binge lately and I've picked some winners and losers along the way. I would consider Brutal one of the better picks. At first I thought it was going to be very similar to an earlier book I read titled Secrets Of My Suburban Life as the main characters were coming off very similar but that ended soon after the first chapter and I actually liked the character of Poe. There were points in the book where she began to question herself and her motives I always felt

I have to say, I really, really enjoyed reading this novel probably because it exceeded my expectations.I highly enjoyed the witty humor and the very interesting point of view, Poe.The characters, Poe, Theo and Velveeta are highly personified and are developed nicely. I enjoyed Poe immensely because she's just so funny. I admire her courage to go against the school and its authorities to point out their errors. And even though she herself is the definition of the things she wants to get rid of,

Poe feels spurned when her mother sets her on a plane to go live with the dad she's never met. Poe is sarcastic and witty, cutting and strong. She sees the wrongness in the school- that the school preaches equality, but that's never true. Teachers and adults turn a blind eye on the bullying, the fact that the athletes etc. have more rights and privileges than the other students. Poe sees all that- and she strives to change it. She fights, verbally, for a lot of different things. She fights just

Finished this book about 3:00 AM this morning.Exceptional read and characters. You will love Poe.

Punkish type who resents her do-gooder mother goes to small town to live with previously unknown father. Long passages about school administrations' responsibility for creating culture of stratified cliques, and paying only lip-service to dealing with violence and bullying. Punkish type stands up to authority, makes a friend, gets a boyfriend, gets into dangerous situtation, solidifies relationship with previously unknown father, comes to terms with mother. Lots of dialogue, and plenty of sort



I gotta say this book was very much your typical high school drama.. Poe got under even MY skin until she learn that to win the game you gotta play by their rules... I felt so bad for velvetta he is just trying to keep to himself... And theo is my favorite character by far...
