I have never read a Judy Blume book before, and I felt vaguely embarrassed when I checked this out from the library. There's no nostalgic link for me to any of Blume's books, so I'll admit I was worried about how I would like this book.But all you Blume-hards (what?) can relax about the three star rating up there, because when I say I "liked" this book I really do mean it. The thing is, I became so invested in some of the plotlines that when they failed to reach a satisfying conclusion I feltTo say that this is a re-read seems somewhat insufficient. At the tender age of ten, I purchased this gem and proceeded to read it, perhaps five or six dozen times. Its where I first heard of the Grateful Dead. I asked my mom what it meant, her reply of How the hell should I know? was not helpful. (Dont worry, only eight years later, I totally figured it out). To this day, some three decades later, I still recall entire passages from Tiger Eyes and all calico cats will forever be known to me as
Judy Blume actually signed this much-loved dog-eared paperback of mine and it is one of my most prized possessions. Sadly, I have tried giving it to tons of my 8th grade girls and they just aren't feeling it. But now that Twilight has made chastity hot, I may try it again!

I read this book when I was in elementary school. Which now that I think about it, may have been too young. But I have always fancied myself an advanced reader, especially when I was younger. Let's start at the beginning, with the book's cover. When I read this, I used to stare at the cover between readings. I know there were different covers but this is the one I read over and over - it's a haunting picture. As marketing folks know, packaging can make or break a product and I am certain the
Rating for this audiobook is a 4.5 rating. I read along on a print copy while the audio played in the background. It would be nice to hear more books by this narrator, Emma Galvin, as I like her voice and tone that she brought to this book.I really enjoyed this book even though the subject matter can be pretty heavy at times. For most of the time I felt quite in tune with Davie, the main character, as her personality and mood are very similar to mine when I was going through a change around her
I loved this book as a preteen and read it over and over again. Reading 15+ years later and I still love it. I have more compassion for the mother in the books this time around I suppose. The setting of Los Alamos sounds like absolute hell o me today. Though I do recall thinking that maybe being in a boring place wouldn't be so bad many years ago. Regardless of age this is an excellent teen book. Just be sure to explain to a teen of today what a card catalog is; as this book is long before the
''Cuando los lagartijos corren''I read this book more than one month ago, and since then I've been thinking about how to write a good review. This book is amazing, so I wanted to write a good review for it. A review that can express how incredible this book is. And what it made me feel.The first thing that called my attention was the cover page. A girl who looked my age. Tiger Eyes, I read. I looked at the girl again, those were not tiger eyes, those were sad eyes. It made me think of my
