Summary: Elizabeth Berg is wonderful!!!
Review: I Read "Durable Goods" and loved it so much I knew I had to read the sequel "Joy School." Katie is just wonderful and reminds me of myself at that age. I too was infatuated with a guy who was 10 years older. Nothing became of it, of course, but it was a good learning experience. Katie's friend Taylor is a trip and I loved her tricks and wildness. Elizabeth Berg you are terrific!!!

Summary: What a sweet story!
Review: When I first started reading this book I thought how can I relate to this? The protagonist is thirteen and I'm in my late twenties, what is there to relate to? Well, I'll tell you, Joy School is mesmerizing! The narrator of the story, young Katie, is both very likable and realistic in her rendering of the trials and tribulations of the teenage years. Teens and ADULTS,alike will thoroughly enjoy this coming to age story.

Rating:
Summary: Sweet, innocent and heartwarming.
Review: Every title of Elizabeth Berg is WONDERFUL, but I especially enjoyed Joy School because of it's innocence. The character will always stand out in my mind. You feel for her in everything that she does. She is you, your friend, your sister when you were young.

Summary: A book that leaves you wanting more!
Review: I found myself in "Katie". Her character is so easy to relate to. It is an easy read, but very touching. All you want is more! It is really hard to put down this book, but to really understand "Katie", please read "Durable Goods" first. I read them the other way around. Just finished "Durable Goods" actually. They are both good books, and I have a new fav. author!

Summary: A disappointment when compaired to her previous books.
Review: I really looked forward to reading this book since I had read 3 other books by the author and loved them. I think she is better able to write from an adult viewpoint versus an adolescent.

Summary: You don't read this book . . .
Review: You find yourself listening to it. Katie speaks in a voice that can be confused with any teenaged female. The book speaks to you from you. Go listen to it!

Summary: This book was sensational!!!!
Review: This book was the best book I have ever read in my whole life. I really didn't like reading but when this book got put in my hands and I read even the first line it sucked me in. If you read this book I suggest reading "Durable Goods" just to get the backround on the characters. Elizabeth Berg is the most talented writer I've ever read. If you can read this book. I read "Durable Goods" after "Joy School" so I didn't get into it really fast because "Joy School" was always intresting ever word was intresting. I was so moved by this book and I'm only 12 years old. I hope Elizabeth Berg can see this and e-mail me because I've tried to find her online before but couldn't.
