Reviews

I am absolutely impressed with the "message" I, Bully has to offer any person from about 12 years of age and up. This is a book that people will do themselves a HUGE favor to read. I have read hundreds of books before, during and following my University days. And never have I read a book with the depth of self learning this book has to offer. I have already told several friends and neighbors about this "must read" book. By making this book available to the general public it will undoubtedly touch and change the lives of people from all walks of life. I will be encouraging everyone I know to treat themselves to reading a book far and beyond 99% of the other stuff being published these days. Anyone having read this book and taken whatever message is applicable to them is undoubtedly guaranteed to become a better person.Doug Reglin, Clinical Consultant Community Mental HealthB.Ed. and R.P.N.

Christine rated itI, Bully has a good message. It has relevant information about the problem of bullying, the reasons behind it, and ways to deal with it, wrapped up in the story of Eric and Hannah. The dialogue is sometimes unrealistic... written to teach, instead of sound like a teenager or a teacher, but if you can look past that, the story is good. It has adventure, tension, and an interesting conclusion. Some of the characters are recognizable... the captain of the football team, cool kids, jocks, nerds etc. I suppose it places the idea of bullying in a familiar place. However, Eric and Hannah are likeable and their journeys are worth following. This is a quick, worthwhile read. - -
