I have read many books throughout my short life span. But
there has been one book that has really stuck out to me. I have always read
books that were above my reading and age level so this book in particular isn’t
a surprise. It has been my favorite book ever since I opened it, possibly
because of it harsh subject content or maybe because I was in 8th
grade reading about drugs and abuse. This book is titled, In Ecstasy and it is
written by Kate McCaffrey. This book is filled with suspense and you can’t suspect
the events. It’s a modern day teenage horror story dealing with contemporary
issues. I remember reading this book and being shocked by what I was reading.
It encouraged me to read me beyond my limits and I finished the book within one
day. I read like I was on a mission being that it was over a 250-page book, but
I loved every second of it. I even recommended for my teacher to read it. He
was a little loony so he bought the book (that was inappropriate for 8th
graders) and put it on display for everyone in the class to see. The book was a
popular hit and the talk of the classroom discussions.
