Summary: Why I believe this is one of the best short novels.
Review: I believe this book has great relivency to life. It expresses what I think to be exactly what a person would be thinking that just went through this trauma. Also the author must of gone through a great deal of trouble characterizing the characters. All together I think this maybe one of the best short novels I have ever read and I strongly urgh you to read it.

Summary: Awesome Book!!
Review: I found this book to be really interesting. I really like the fact that it seems really realistic. I think that if there were any more books like this I would definitely read them. It really caught my attention at the fact that she really liked Hayden but then decided she wanted to be with Luke. But over all this was a really awesome book. I would love for the author to write more of the same type of books.

Summary: This was such an inspiring book.......
Review: I happened to find this book by accident in the school library one day and was going to put it back on the shelf, when I was compelled to read the summary on the back of the book. I was willing to try reading it, hoping that at hte very least, I would not fall asleep--what a bad attitude to have! Needless to say, I was stunned by the candidness of the novel and how Anne's thoughts were right there for the reader to see. What the character went through and overcame blew my mind. I HIGHLY recommed this book. I could not put it down.

Summary: Peeling The Onion Review
Review: I personally thought that this book was very bad. It focused more on her love life than her disabilities. I hardly think that if you were seriously hurt that you would be fluttering your eyelashes at guys. It comes off as entirely unrealistic and fictional. But Hayden is cute. At least my friend thinks so.

Review: I think that this book was extremely powerful and moving. This book has some scenes that are quite intense. While I read this book, I was in awe of what happened to the main character and what she had to go through. I have learned, from reading this book, who true heroes are.

Summary: I am 13!!!
Review: In 1996, an "experienced" author wrote a very dramatic book, Peeling The Onion. The author brilliantly crafted the twisted story of what she went through in the past. The main character, a seventeen-year-old girl named Anna is in a major car crash which changes her life forever. The physical pain that Anna feels is palpable but the idea that her life is ruined forever, insidious. The title suitably describes Anna's tragedy and dissociation from her former self, but is also indicative of the book's startling complexity and deep emotion. Before the accident, Anna knew who she was and what she looked like. Now everything has changed, she is a stranger to her family, her friends, and most of all herself. She is no longer the pretty, popular girl who loves karate. Her body betrays her and she knows it will never be the same. The physical pain is an excruciating vortex that sucks the life out of Anna, but it is only half as bad as her emotions and feelings. All the layers that made up the old Anna - her looks, her friends, her sport - have been peeled away, leaving her to face the question of who she really is, and who she wants to be. Peeling The Onion is a captivating book of gritty survival. Anna's pain, fear, and trauma are rendered convincingly enough that the reader believes that the story is all real and really happening while it's being read. No wonder it is An ALA Best Book for Young Adults and A New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age! My favorite part was when Anna realized that it's not all over, that there is hope after all. I would give this extraordinary book a perfect 10 and recommend it to anyone and everyone.
