Caesar Union Library, Swanzey<br \/>I agree that the book is morally unclear, but Shusterman is well liked at our school.<br \/>Kelly B. Keene High School, 2\/9\/12<\/p>\n<p>I felt it was all about addiction and owning our own pain and feelings. In a world where there is a pill to erase every ill, this is a good message. Good message aside, it is a fun story and unlike other books that I have read. It has something for everyone. And honestly, the &quot;vocabulary curse&quot; or &quot;power word&quot; thing is a riot.<br \/>Sharon Flesher-Duffy, Nashua High South<\/p>\n<p>I loved this book! Each chapter title is a vocabulary word, there are literary references throughout, it has poetry, it&#8217;s told from four different perspectives and both boys and girls will like it. And I agree with Sharon about the book&#8217;s message and about its uniqueness.<br \/>Heidi Grant, Nashua High School North, 3\/29\/13      <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FlumeAward &#8211; Bruiser Discussion page for \/\/Bruiser\/\/ by Neal Shusterman We need books for boys, and this one will work.
