Wow, this sounds like a powerful book. A shame about the errors in pronouns, though. Great review!

Thank you for reviewing this book. The character of Drachea is not quite different from mine. I used to feel in almost every social gathering that I don't fit Well, but thank God there were few people who would bully me.

An important book for all of us re contemporary teen issues...especially the YA readers. Almost sounds like non-fiction...sad that bullying, teen abuse etc. is so prevalent today. Thanks for shedding light on these issues, author & reviewer...nicely done!

Latest Review: "The 11.05 Murders" by Brian O'Hare

Post by Silvermoon »

At times, High school can be like a war zone and the degradation of verbal and physical assaults, seems to be a horribly intrinsic part of it's climate. My question is, did Drachea become empowered after her stand for freedom?
Your review is fantastic! It has inspired me to read the book and discover how the solution to Drachea's dilemma transpires or perhaps, expires. Impressive review!

This one sounds super heavy. I'm not sure it's one for me.

This sounds like a captivating book - and the cover definition caught my eye! Maybe a little editing will make this a perfect 4/4. Congrats on BOTD to the author.

I don't know that I want to read such a "heavy" book, but it does sound good and I hope others enjoy. Your review was certainly complimentary.

Behind Broken Glass Walls is a timely book that directly relates to contemporary societal bullying and discrimination at different strata of the society. I love it!

Great review of what sounds like a great book. I wish there were more flexibility with giving books that are great but have some grammatical errors a 4-star review. This sounds like one of them and I will check it out.
Thanks again for a beautifully written review.

Behind Broken Glass Walls sounds like it's going to be one of those books that tears you up inside but it's important because there is so much bullying going on in schools these days. The more the word is spread, the more people will take it seriously and figure out ways to stop it. I think the book is going to be great.

This book is reminiscent of my own childhood. I didn't fit in, but I wasn't targeted, I was pretty much ignored. I don't think I'll read this book as it might tell me how much worse things could have been for me.

Wow, this sounds like a tough read. I'm very curious, but a bit nervous that it might be too much, as some of the topics are too personal.
