IM CONFUSED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING.

Really easy to read and get into the mind of a young girl who cuts herself. For a young adult book, I think it almost glorified cutting but it really was necessary to explain the urges children feel while performing this abuse to their own bodies.

The book may be short, but I always come back to it. I've read this book at least 10 times and still love it.

I read this several years ago, and loved it. It's stayed with me ever since I finished it.

3.5 stars...This book was actually really uplifting toward the end. I actually felt myself very sad for Callie. The situations the main character had to deal with were very sad, but I am glad that she finally wanted to get help in the end. I know a lot of people who have been through her actual situation didn't like the book, however, me being someone who hasn't been through this situation, I actually felt more sympathy towards people who do self infliction. Before I was very biased and thought you could just stop, however this books shows that there are always underlying issues and that cutting is just like a drug, it's a way for Callie to get away from the feelings that are haunting her.

I confess that I am very particular when it comes to books about mental illness. It's not that I want them to mirror my experience exactly, but I do want them to feel believable and portray depression, anxiety, etc. realistically.

I enjoyed this book for the things that Callie does not say. I enjoyed traveling with her as she discovered more about herself and her own mind.

However, Cut, like so many others, left me feeling dissatisfied with the pat, optimistic ending. Depression is messy and ongoing and occasional relapses are pretty much inevitable. I need to see this reality - this darkness - mirrored in fiction. Yet, it continues to elude me.

This book has been reviewed so much I don't need to say anything again. I just want to say that as someone with mental illnesses... I can't recommend this book. I don't think it tells the story of a young woman who has self injury issues very responsibly.

Picked this up as it was left by a student in the classroom I spent several hours administering a test in today. I cannot fathom cutting myself in response to pain and I don't think this book went very deeply into the divide that must be crossed that takes people there. But it was compelling enough I finished it.

A very powerful book about a girl's trip to wanting help for her cutting. It was one of the most descriptive books I've read and it's set as if it were a screenplay it would be an Oscar winner. Not really reccomended to younger teens, though I'm 100% to anti-cutting.

This book made me very sad.

It is an almost too brief treatment of the need some kids have to hurt themselves for release. We wish they all would get 'caught' by the school nurse and sent for help. We wish they all had an easily identifiable reason for hurting themselves. We wish it all could be solved by one evening over doughnuts with Dad.

This is an important attempt to deal with the subject. It is very readable as a novel. Highly unrealistic as a way of understanding why kids cut.

I am not sure how many stars to give it. I do think that teens and younger kids (maybe 12 and up) who enjoy realistic fiction and 'problem' stories would get something from reading this book. I'll revisit late when it has had time to marinate in my brain.
