final thoughts of Burned(Courtney)

Throughout the whole book it was something new and revealing. This book made me so I didn’t want to put the book down because I couldn’t wait for another moment I was able to read again. This always gave me mind creeping, spin chilling and phenomenal thoughts throughout the whole book because you either figured what was going to happen or just couldn’t believe it. Also, in the very beginning she was just an ordinary child with the ordinary parents until she got deeper and deeper in her thoughts she finally admitted it wasn’t an ordinary family, so she tried to fit in and soon she did and father caught her so all her could think of doing is sending her somewhere for the summer and she went to her Aunt J. where she finally found love not only by her aunt but by this boy Ethan. But to find out more you must read the whole novel it will get to you so you will never want to stop.

by Jo-Lynn (done with book)

Burned is one of the few books I actually got into and just couldn't put it down. I just had to know what was going to happen next, this book was incredible, emotional, heartbreaking, yet so beautiful. Once you get into this book you would never guess what happens at the end.
Pattyn starts off to seem like a normal high school girl who's parents force to be religious, but the thing most people dont know is that her father is very abusive. When she finds her first love she ends up in alot of trouble, she breaks windows and noes. Her father thinks she needs to go live with her aunt out in the country to put her back in shape. While she is out there, she finally finds the love of her live and in a split second, (you thought i was gonna tell you didn't you? well guess again you will just have to read it for yourself!)

thought on Burned so far (Courtney)

So far the parts I have read of this book is that the young girl has a troubled life when she grows up in a crowded house with seven kids and two parents and she feels like an outsider not only with her family but with the society. Then finally when she finds some happiness her father evades it and shortly everyone thinks she possessed by the Satan because she is a Mormon. So then after she has troubles with school, family and boys her father sends her to her Aunt Jeanette to see if that could change her and so far it has had a great impact on her. So far of what I have read of this book I like this book and would like to proceed with the novels written by Ellen Hopkins.
