Final Draft
Brutal
In the book Brutal, written by Michael Harmon was a book based on a story of a teenager that has been forced to go back and forth between her parents houses, and that hard time going through that awkward teen stage. Sixteen year old Poe is living with her annoying, know it all mother, who thinks she’s the queen of the world. But living in L.A. with her top end apartment and all of that “girly” stuff everywhere from the living room to her moms closet, Poe does really seem to fit in with her dark, punk cloths. Their life styles are very different from a girly, goody to shoes, to a punk, rock band personalities, the mother daughter relationship never really work out for them. Their relationship is mostly bickering and disagreeing on everything they would talk about. Now as Poe’s mom once again taking another trip for work, this time Poe is forced to go to her father’s house due to her being gone for a year. As usual Poe will try to talk her mother out of it, for this jouney for Poe will be very frightening because she has never, in her 16 years of life has never meet her father. What will Poe come to find about her father? Will thet get along? What will the school be like? And how will she ever meet any one as a punk, rock bad girl in a preppy small town of Benders Hallow?
Brutal written by Michael Harmon, was a horrible book about a 16 year old girl named Poe that is at a tough time in her life. The author never really pulled you in the begging of the book. He used words that did not paint any pictures in my head, never wanting me to keep reading. This was a typical book about a rough time a teen’s life. But for the readers who do like to read books about bad relationships with their parents, going to new schools, meeting new friends, or trying to fit in this would be a good book for you. I would give this book 2 ½ stars.
