Penguin Teen’s Comments (group member since Aug 16, 2010)

Penguin Teen’s comments from the Penguin's Point of View Books group.

So, as many of you have heard, Universal bought the rights to Thirteen Reasons Why and Selena Gomez will be starring as Hannah Baker. What do people think about the film becoming a movie? What about Selena in the lead?

We have a few new books that will be included in POINT OF VIEW this coming Spring season. Keep checking the website for new titles! If you could choose the next titles, which books would you choose?

Who has read Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher? What did you think? What will you remember from reading this novel?

-Melinda says: "It is easier not to say anything. Shut your trap, button your lip, can it. All that crap you hear on TV about communication and expressing feelings is a lie. Nobody really wants to hear what you have to say." Do you agree with her? Why or why not? Do the events in the novel support or negate her statement? Does her outlook change at any point in the novel? How so?

Do you guys watch book trailers? Do you have any favorites? Post them here if you do!
