“The book is really good so far. R.D isn't a good kid and he could care less, I guess it's because he's never had his parents with him and his grandma never showed him love. And I like that, because other kids that reasd this story can relate their situation with his. I think that eventualy, something will happen and R.D will change for good, and that might motivate other readers to be the same way. ”

“So far, I really enjoy reading "Messed Up." It is entertaining to me because I really like the story line. RD, the main character, goes through many conflicts from the very beginning and the author uses comedy within him dealing with all the problems. Also, RD's situation seems really believable. I think that there are many people out there that deal with similar things just like the characters in the book. I give "Messed Up" a four star rating. When I read it, I don't want to stop. The reading is exciting and gives me a sense of curiosity as to if, and how, RD is goes about deciding what to do with all these problems. ”

• Rated 3 stars

“So far this book has really got my attention. It is entertaining because the plot is engaging, and it has just enough humor to lighten RD's really tragic situation. The tragedy in RD's life is believable but not forced; the author does a good job making RD seem like a flesh-and-blood teenage boy with true-to-life problems. I have read other stories with a teenage boy as the protagonist, but the author's portrayal of RD makes this text seems original. Finally, the novel receives three stars from me because it has evoked a sense of curiosity in me. I am curious to find out if RD will be able to rise above his circumstances, and if so, how? If he does, this book would certainly send a strong message about how even the most "messed up" of us can find our way back to safety, security, and success. ”

“This book is very believable, it has real life situations that I can relate to. It's not really intertaining at this point but, I think it will get better. At the very beginning of this book it was emotional because he got suspended for something he didn't do, and I felt angry because he didn't stick up for his self. This story isn't original. I heard about a different story with similar situation.”
