Summary: INCREDIBLE
Review: "Peeling the Onion," is one of the best novel I've ever read! It is one of those books that you can't put down, but don't want to finish. It is the story of Anna Duncan, a pretty, athletic, popular, normal teenage girl whose life changes dramatically after a car accident leaves her with mulitiple injuries. Anna shares the emotional highs and lows of this traumatic time in her life with the reader. A book I recommend all to read "Peeling the Onion" will make you laugh and make you cry

Summary: Peeling the Onion is a Teenage Drama.
Review: +AH4-Before the accident, Anna knew who she was, a physically fit Champion of Karate, beautiful, popular, and bubbling with life. But now she can only stand for a matter of seconds, and she is forever experiencing pain and dizziness. When there is silence, all she hears is the pounding in her ears, and the question. Who am I? This book was a little hard to get into in the beginning, but it picked up after the first couple of chapters. The characters are interesting, and well defined. Peeling+AH4-+AH4- the ONION shows how a normal person's life can peel apart, leaving nothing left, but their heart.+AH4-

Summary: really good book
Review: ...I really thought that Peeling The Onion, was a good book. Annas story about survival and fighting to find out who she really was, was as captivating as if you were really there, helping anna find out who she really was Anna has a hard time finding out who she is, and like the title, Anna has to peel away all of the superficial layers and find out for herself what really lies inside.

Summary: Peeling the Onion
Review: After I was in a car accident 3 weeks after I turned 17, I read this book. This book is about Anna Lockwood, who, much like me, knew all about herself until she is in a car accident. This book describes the emotional and physical hardships she goes through and realizing she doesn't know herself anymore.
It deals with finding that true person inside yourself. After reading one very, ummm...self-centered review ("i (...) have recently recieved australian young writer of the year. and beleive that orr's writing is put to shame by my own brilliance!"), i knew this book was better than that.By the way, any person that reads a book all the way through without realizing they didn't enjoy it is just asking for ways to make the book seem bad. If you enjoy emotional books that help people "discover who they are", you'll enjoy Peeling the Onion.

Riding home from a karate tournament, that she has just won, with Hayden, her "boyfriend" a car doesn't stop at a stop sign and Hayden slams into it. Anna breaks her neck and thumb, and sprains her ankles. She thinks her life is over after a year of fighting this. She can no longer take karate, she walks with a cane, and one of her closest friends deserts her. Then she begins "peeling the onion". She falls in love with a 20-year-old named Luke ho is helping her mom out at the nursery, she finds her true best friend, and she understands who she is. This book is a good book, but I don't recommend it for people who enjoy things that aren't suspenseful. I would read it again, if I was ever feeling really low, down, and out to cheer me up

Summary: Great book about rebuilding your self-estime
Review: Anna Duncan used to be a popular, beautifully built girl who knew who she was. Until a car accident changes her thinking. This book was very well written and i recommend it to people ages 13 and up. The book is mainly about a girl trying to find who she is and make it through the hard times of her life.
