Plastic

        

By Sarah N. Harvey

Summery:

When Jack develops an interest in something, he puts his all into it, making lists, doing research and learning all he can. When his best friend Leah decides to have plastic surgery for her sixteenth birthday, Jack is horrified—and then determined to stop her. Researching the surgery and the results, he finds that there are unscrupulous surgeons operating on the very young, and no one does anything about it. Jack organizes a protest and becomes an instant celebrity. But when someone else takes up the cause and the protest turns violent, Jack is forced to make some tough decisions.

My Review:

         I enjoyed this little book.

         I picked it off the shelve one day when I was waiting for my mom to pick me up from the library.

         This is a very fast read.

         I literally read it in its entirety in one(35min) sitting.

         There is a powerful message contained within the books 136 tiny pages.

         The plot seemed a bit extreme, what with a 15-year-old boy going crazy and protesting. And there          isn't much to the characters.  But over all I liked it.

         I would suggest this book to anyone who wants a quick read that will entertain.
