Nobody's perfect, even Stephen.

I thought this book was/is great. It says alot about people, and how sometimes we judge them incorrectly. I also thought it was realistic becuase once in a while we may be intimedated by others. I didnt really think there was a bad point in this book. I thought it was very good, and also written well. It tells alot about everyone including yourself. Even though you may not think that your good enough doesnt mean it's true. I would recomend this book to anyone who likes to read about realistic events. I could realate to Sunny(main charactor) on alot of promblems that took place in the book, and I agree with the leassons learned. The author wrote this book well. It's not a hard book. It's easy for kids to read. The author is also very discriptive about her charactors. It's easy to follow the story as you read. I think she did a really good job. I hope you to will take the time to read this book and I hope you will enjoy it.
