----Book Review----
“You say it’s up to me to do the talking. You lean forward, place a box of tissues in front of me and your black leather chair groans, like a living thing. Like the cow it used to be before somebody killed it and turned it into a chair in a shrink’s office in a loony bin” this is a quote from the book cut by Patricia McCormick, a talented author.

Callie is fifteen year old girl at Sea Pines (sick minds) rehabilitation center, for self injury. What caused her to do such behavior? You might ask. Her younger brother Sam, needing care and attention twenty four seven? Her father’s financial stress at work, and drinking? Or maybe it’s because her mother is so isolated with fear, it’s impossible for her to leave her house. Whatever the reason is Callie is stuck at Sick Minds, with no way out. To leave Sick minds, you have to try get better to leave. But Callie is refusing to do so. Will Callie ever escape Sick Minds? Or will she tough it out, and try to get better? You’ll have to read the book to find out.

In my opinion this is a great book to read, if you don’t understand self injury. It’s a real eye opener on why people do this to them selves, and why they don’t want to stop.

Don't say "this is a quote," try to work the quote into a sentence. Use a illustrative quote to prove a point you'd like to make about what you read. Your summary is OK, but you should probably include some more about your own opinion other than "this is a great book to read."

If "sick minds" is the nickname of "Sea Pines," then be sure you tell your reader so, don't just assume they'll figure it out.

Your grammar and punctuation need work, but there's no easy way for me to fix that over Yahoo. Make your sentences flow better, make them more complex, and talk more about the book and why you liked it.

Hope that helped.

Good luck with your book report.
