After my non-starter earlier today, I was desperate to read something fairly quick so I could start something brand new tomorrow. Speak is a book I've heard a lot about, but personally I just didn't feel it. All the right emotions were there, and it definitely sent out a powerful message, but bar that, I just wasn't feeling it. The way in which the book is written is a big part of that, because although it was well-written, it was very distant, very vague. It is definitely, however, a book worth your time!
