Have you ever felt unloved or loveless because your parents are so busy with their own life that they don't have any time for you? The book Spit Image,by Mel Glenn, Will show you the strong feelings of an loveless girl whose only wish is to spend time with her parents.This book written in strong poetry . That will change parents way of thinking towards their children.

Everyone has an image of Laura Li,the most popular girl in school:"stone hearted," "warmhearted.""conceited deceiver," "humble achiever," "a virgin" and "the hottest girl in the world." They call her a "too" girl ,you know - Too smart, too pretty, too popular and too perfect,but no body Knows that she only wishes for some time with her parents. Many classmates have a different image of her although she has everything.She only begs for parent love."I just want to say one more thing. It won't take too long or interrupt your schedule. Oh, Daddy you could have same me,from her from myself. If you could have save little time for me.Laura Li quoted in this book(pg.127). She states this quote to catch her Day attention,but he doesn't cares. He moves on with his work leaving Laura Li loveless.

When Laura Li kill her self her parents realize that they had done something wrong. Oi Pin Li Laura mother begs for Laura forgiveness,but it was too late. Charles Li, Laura father recognized that she begs him for some love and he never care.But today is too late. Laura kill her shelf and know she is dead and nothing could bring her back.There could have been more to Laura life,but without parents love everything gets lost.Hearts broke and love ones are gone.

This book Split Image change my parents way of thinking towards me. This depressing story opened my parents closed eyes . because they had too little time for me ,but know they recognize that children are miserable with out parents loves and this could lead to kill your shelf.Because nobody values their love ones until they see it lost.My parents got the advice and they appreciate me more that they use too. Laura could have had more to her life if she only was love.She sends the book message straight to your heart and into your mind. If you cry over love stories here is a little part of a love stories hare is a little part of a love story with great poetry.

The author of this book, Mel Glenn wrote this book in poetry instead of narrating the story like a normal book. Why did he used poems through out this story? Poems are a special way of writing. Poems are used to unlock the feeling inside of the character or the person.This book is special because you have to read the poems and find what is the characters feelings.This great book would put your mind to work.
specially if you are a good reader that likes or loves poems.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who appreciates strong poetry. once you start, you won't want to put it down. This is never boring. Special those parents who don't have to value their love ones before its too late.If you don't read this book you are missing out. Oh, and by the way a bit of advice! Take along some tissues.

Review: I thought that this book was very good, but also very interesting. It was neat how the book was written in poems, but I thought that there were too many characters. I would definately read this book again for a short read. I thought it was awsome.

Summary: better then i expected
Review: Meet Laura Li, the most popular girl at school. Cold-hearted to some, yet "the prettiest girl in school" to others. People love her, people despise her. The want to ask her to the prom, they write her love letters and express themselves to her. They talk trash about her. The teachers love her. She works in the library during and after school. Her mother is strict and her father is almost never home. She has to take care of her older brother and lean the house. She can't stand her life. Late at night she sneaks out to dance clubs and dances with strange men. All of her emotions finally build up and her life goes nowhere but downhill.

Mel Glenn does an amazing job with this book. I read it in less then one day! I couldn't put it down. He shows the readers that not everyone is perfect. They might have problems at home and people might hate them. The true lie of a teenager- not very perfect. This book kept me in suspense the whole time, I felt anger and sorrow for Laura Li. The surprise in the end will truly shock you.

Summary: relating to this story
Review: The book is about a Chinese girl growing up in an American society, who decides to find herself in the library. I picked this book up in my high school library, ironically enough. I spend most of my after school time there, in the library. I looked through this book, not expecting this girl to relate to me in any single way. I am Chinese myself, with both a working dad and a working mom, both love me, but in a Chinese way. And here i am living, growing up American. I enjoyed this book like i enjoy any type of poetry...and i realize i enjoy it a bit more differently than other people enjoy it. they dont see the mother's love, because they are too american. Or the father's love. This book is amazing to all who read it, I'm sure, but keep your eyes open for unseen love. This girl in the story did not, and it led to her downfall. :D I loved this book.
