Comments from the Book Discussion Group at DeSoto Library regarding our September 2009 selection:

Shug
by Jenny Han

The question was asked, “Would you recommend this book to someone else?”

Marie: “Yes, I enjoyed the book but probably would only recommend it to a young person.”

Georgianna: “No. I didn't like the book. It was sad all the way through. You don't want to think that Jr. High is like that buy you know it is. I hated the end. That kid's not going to write to her and then she'll be disappointed again. I hated her nickname. I thought it was a shame when she had such a beautiful name. The author wrote too well."

Sue: "Interesting easy read. Brings back memories of Jr. High. I was much more interested in Shug's parents' store, being an older female."

Vickie: “Yes. I would recommend this to young girls but also to adult women. I found it very inciteful.”

Jane: “The book was okay but I thought Shug was too self-centered.”

Janine: “I thought the author did an amazing job of capturing all the insecurities of early adolescence.”

Brenda: "It brought back the preteen years."

Ann: "This describes how pre-teenagers think and how they get subjects so mixed up in their minds."
