montesorta 's review for:

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

3.0

---

I did not enjoy the narrator for the first 3/4 of the book until she gave an account for what happened that night. Up until that point, she was completely unrelatable, a far cry from the protag of Anderson's other novel "Fever 1793." However, the last 1/4 of the book serves nicely to thrust the narrator into the role of hero, one who speaks, and everything comes full circle for the reader.
