The Broke and the Bookish : Jen Reviews by Sarah Dessen
I wanted to smack this chick. After the first time Rogerson hit her, he only continued to do it repeatedly as the story went on. Review: Strange, sleepy Rogerson, with his long brown dreads and brilliant green eyes, had seemed to Caitlin to be an open door. When I go to sleep, I dream of Junior Mints and Butterfingers and Milk Duds. Corinna finally left him after not being able to pay those bills. I felt like I was apart of the book and I was Caitlin. With a little more polishing, this book could have been outstanding.
He has dreadlocks and is a drug dealer. But I didn't really enjoy this book, it was something that I wasn't expecting. This book, with the subject of physical abuse between two teenagers, is a hard one too read. It starts out that on her birthday her older, more perfect sister Cassandra runs away to live with her boyfriend. I didn't care if they sang to me. The relationship between these two is heartbreaking, horrific, and realistic. Her older sister, Cass, ran away the morning of her sixteenth birthday.
Caitlin falls into a downward spiral, starts smoking, doing pot, and sl Caitlin is use to living in her older sisters shadow, but her family is stunned to find that her sister has run off with her boyfriend. Relationships are essentially a power struggle, a game of manipulations. Caitlin begins to fill the void with whatever attention is directed at her. Her sister has just ran away from home, and her boyfriend Rogerson has taken a liking to beating her. The worst Dessen book ever. Release Date: June 2012 Genre: Young Adult Fiction.
This book was about a 16-year-old girl named Caitlin. It's in this time, between the grief of Cass's departure and parents' distancing that Caitlyn meets Robertson. Rina seemed mostly to forget about Caitlin for much of the novel. Sarah Dessen books this seems like a good read for the summer! This amount is subject to change until you make payment. I did not need a reminder twice every friggin' chapter that love-interest boy has dreadlocks. And then things would get so sad and all I would want to do was put the book away and start crying. Okay, you child, check your uniform, what the heck are you? But he obviously did not respect her, his love for her was warped and distorted and wrong.
Definitely feel like my heart was ripped out of my chest. All I wanted was to block out all the human voices as they called me name again and again,pulling me upward into light,to drown. But it's written so convingly. Later on, Caitlin meets a boy named Rogerson Biscoe at the car wash, who is a drug dealer. Thank you Sarah Dessen for not being heavy-handed, and for telling this kind of a story in a new and meaningful way.
Rogerson was someone that had features that were good and features that were horrible. Dreamland is an intense, quick read. Readers beware, this is not a lovey dovey book with sunshine and roses that will make teenage love seem magical. It wasn't just that I loved him, even: it was that I loved what I was when I was with him. At least until she meets Rogerson, who is the mysterious bad boy in her life. Things would have been very different if I had done that. Some times a little too wordy for my liking but definitely thoughtful and gorgeous writing.
I felt like this reading experience truly wrecked me. It isn't long before Caitlin gets involved with him. And that trouble is named Rogerson this is random but Is there another word for heartbreaking? I started to seek out facts, just to stump him, but it never worked. The fact is I hated this novel. It's an important one, though. And she can't stop seeing him.
Edwards Award from the Young Adult division of the American Library Association. It will also talk about the author, Sarah Dessen. And everyone is lost without her. Caitlin is sort of drifting the whole time — into one thing or another. Hopefully i'm not disappointed with my purchase. On Christmas Eve, Caitlin finally agrees to sleep with Rogerson.
