Amazing Style!

The plot for this book isn't all that origanal or exciting in itself. A freind noticed what I was reading and asked, "Why on earth would you even look twice at a book like that? It's so..lame!" I asked myself the same question.The answer I came up with was this - it's not the plot that makes this book a great read, but the style. The way it's told from each of the characters and how each bit of information is only given at the last minute, makes it exciting, interesting and tense. Something so small turns into something huge before anyone knows it, even the reader. Wonderful book! I would recommend it to everyone who has ever been through highschool, because this is a very real issue

My review of The Cheat

My book review The Cheat By Amy Goldman Koss Imagine that you are studying really hard for a midterm. But you have no idea what you're studying and then out of the blue a sweet generous boy comes up to you and gives you the answers from the midterms. What would you do? Sarah Collier took the answers. Who wouldn't? I mean you are stuck studying and someone gives you the answers. NOT BAD. In the book The Cheat Sarah Collier gets the midterm answers from a nice boy, Jake. Sarah also shared the answers with some of her friends like Katie, Rob, and Dan. Through this book you will travel to Sarah, Katie, Jake, Dan, Rob, and Ruby's thoughts and how they are involved with the cheat. It's too bad that they got caught. I mean they had a perfect plan until Katie couldn't take lying so she gave in as in telling she cheated. After that there were only 3 other people that have cheated Sarah, Rob, and Dan. The book is realistic fiction and it could happen to anyone. It takes place in a high school. The lesson is to show that it is very bad to cheat on midterm and what your consequences are going to be if you do. The characters are discussed in this book with detail, their personality, what their conflict is, and also their actions. If you like books that you have to really guess what is going to happen and if you like books that have cliffhangers you better pick up The Cheat by Amy Goldman Koss. in my opinion I loved this book and I hope you do too.

The Cheat

This book had a unique writing form in which it had different chapters with view point of all the charachters instead of just one of them so you know what each of the characters is thinking. It was a great book and had a good moral.

When you cheat on a test your cheating your self.....

There is always a price to pay when you cheat even if you don't get caught. who would have ever thought of Shara to cheat? or that shed have to be called into the principal's office. Jake thought he was doing her a great favor after all, giving sarah the answers to last years test might give them a chance to becaome a cuple. He didn't think she'd share the anwers with three othe people! And then they got caught. within just onw weekend lives are changed, thoughts are thought out, and all actions are done from predmeditation.A great book that I couldn't put doen literally I started at 11:00 and finshed at 2:00am. a short and witty book to enjoy and at the same time learn of the many outcomes there are to cheating.
