Its Real
I had to read it for summer reading in my high school. I think it is somewhat beneficial because it makes you realize that people aren't always what they seem to be. I think it would be good for kids to read to just have their eyes opened and to know and understand that the things that happen in that book are real and happen to kids everyday.

Good story, bland writing
I thought the story was great and I enjoyed the characters. The writing was pretty basic. The narrator is supposed to be 14, and the style of writing didn't seem to fit. Although the summary says his moms bf's abusive, its actually not brought up in the story as much as you would think.

i think it is a great book if you and/or your child/children know the difference between fact and fiction.

a good book to read
it was overall good, in my opinion... it had a message to deliver and it has some characters that are life like and be related to an everyday teenage life . it also clearly gives the message that parent-children communication is extremely important ...so why not..

This is a good book. I discovered this book because one day I was in class and I saw this book. I read the cover and it was pretty good. So I started reading and it pulled me in it was so interesting.

you just want to give the kid a hug!
that poor boy just broke my heart. he feels so desparetely alone in his world, and with the abusive parental figure in the house, he is just beat physically and almost mentally. but you have to give the kid respect for fighting back in his mind and is determined to not let that man break him!

An interesting story
I thought this was a very good and interesting book. The main character had many interesting and funny descriptions of what went on around him, like his tuba that was really a frog pretending to be a musical instrument. It was a little violent though, with John's father beating him when his mother wasn't around.

Read in long ago
I read this book when I was in seventh grade! I never really read anything but, after i started this book i couldn't put it down!!
I have been trying to check one out from a local library but, it's always off the shelf. So i am going to go to the next step. I'm going to buy it so, I can read it again!

mmm yes.
this book is absolutely amazing when you feel your life is down. this stuff literally happens all the time, and it's hard to believe. it's extremely compelling for any age, although alittle inappropriate for kids under 12. i've read this book about 8 times, and it never gets old. :)

One of the best books I've ever read!
I love this book! John is one of the most real character's in a book I've ever read (and I read a lot...). Excellent writing.
Witty and sad in places: I give it 5 stars *****

Loved it
I like the fact that this book shows just how horrible the life of a child who is being abused is. It's very emotional for me, I was abused as a child and could really connect with John.

fine for tweens
i didnt think it was very good. i thought it was kinda boring and confusing because of the way he would say things.
