Rate Based On Books Black Box

Opinion: I've read this book twice since 6th grade, and over time I've grown and found more in this book. Every time I read Black Box more and more comes out of it. I see points better and I understand more then I did in the 6th grade. I would say my age changed my understanding and that it would probably be a better book, and you would understand it better if you were older. unless you are a very experienced reader, of course, like to say I would truly give this book five stars in the 6th grade

This book was okay, but it wasn't that good. It wasn't that good and because throughout the whole book everything seemed very rushed. The relationships in this book we very dull too. Overall I didn't really like this book. I recommend this book to anybody who is looking for a short read.

I. Loved. This. Book.It ended way too soon. "Black Box" is definitely a very quick read and I have to admit, the storyline isn't as good as it could be. But, it was such a good book filled with great writing and filled with TONS of emotion. Julie Schumacher has her own unique way of telling the story and I loved it. I am unquestionably looking forward to reading more books by this author!

This books addresses something people usually shy away from; mental state of well being. Though it could've been explained in greater detail, it wasn't. But since the book is trying to address something very serious, it should've explained more in-depth to show the graveness of the situation. But overall, it's an okay book for what it is; a book trying to depict the emotional turmoil of not only the eldest sister, but the whole family as a result of the stress of having a mentally ill family

While Dora is in the hospital, Elena makes a new friend Jimmy Zenk who has some personal experience with Lorning and warns her that it may not be the best place for her sister if they actually want

Personal ResponseI do not know how I feel about Black Box. It was very similar to what I went through, so it was pretty accurate, but I am not sure if I liked being brought back to that. I did not like how the parents were so excluding of their daughter. Plot SummaryThis book was about a Family. Their family consisted of a husband, a wife, and two daughters. Dora was the one to be diagnosed with depression. Dora and her sister, Elena, had been close since they were young. Dora overdoses, and is

Black Box by Schumacher is a moving portrayal of teenage depression and suicide. Its an eye opener that will provide valuable insight on the signs of depression and the possible harmful side-effects of the medications doctors use to treat this condition. The story is told from the perspective of Elena, whose sister Dora is suffering from clinical depression. My heart went out to Elena as she struggles to find a way to save her sister. I was a tad bothered at her parents for not making a better
