The List Siobhan Vivian Books

My daughter needed a book to read for school and she picked this one out as it sounded interesting. I actually found myself reading it as well. I thought it was a very well written book and it shows just how teenagers and parents are today without sugar coating anyting, and how their decisions affect other people. I think it's a good book to read with your daughter or son because it opens up a conversation that can be very meaningful between a parent and a child, especially in this day and age. I would definitely recommend this book for any person 13 and up.

The List Siobhan Vivian Books Reviews

Not a bad book, definitely got interesting at some parts and funny at others. Fairly quick read and kept my attention. Most definitely gets into details on the uglier sides of high school from eating disorders to judging others and the consequences of decisions. There were some rough parts including some flow of the story that I thought were a little weird or didn't make sense. I think the biggest problem I had was the ending. It ended alright but I expected more about what happens after they find out who made the list and what happened to the other girls who had some major problems and those who became more popular after the list was published. It kind of just cut off, but not in the good cliff-hanger way.
Every year somebody makes a list ranking females from ugly to pretty in every grade level in high school. Nobody knows who creates the list until the end. Some of them do extreme things to prove otherwise of what they see themselves as. I felt like sometimes it repeats itself but overall I liked due to being able to relate. I know I was judged in school but it did not bothering since nobody knew the true me like I do. It's a good book to read in middle school to prepare them for what could happen and why we should not judge people.
In high school there are the "hot" girls and the "not-so-hot" girls, but no one writes it down on paper. It is not something out in the open for everyone to see. In Siobhan Vivian's The List, those girls are labeled ugliest and hottest girl for each class, and the label will change them forever.

Every year the List comes out. There is an ugliest girl and a hottest girl in each grade. No one knows who makes the lists or how the official (stolen) school seal that marks the official list gets passed down from year to year, but they accept the list as a part of their high school lives. This year is no different from previous years for most people, but it is a life-changer for the 8 girls on the list. One has been on the list all 4 years of her high school career... as the ugliest girl in her grade. One only makes the list after her anorexia slims her down. One embraces her Ugly status by writing UGLY across her forehead and refusing to shower for the whole week leading up to the Homecoming game.

But one thing is for certain the list affects every single girl it names. And while you might think it would help the lives of the Hottest girls, you would be miserably wrong. Being named Hottest only makes your friends jealous and guys think they have a right to hit on you or think you are a trophy to be won. Being on the list tests every relationship you have ever had, your values, and worst of all, what you think of yourself. The List has changed these girls... but you won't believe how.

This was a deceptively awesome book, I must say. I assumed it would be rife with cliches and stereotypes and full of pink plush morals and "typical", but it really wasn't. Instead, it surprised me. Time and time again, what happened to these girls REALLY surprised me. I thought I knew what was going to happen to the Ugly girls vs. the Hot girls, but I found myself flipping the pages time and time again with that "What the heck?!" shocked look on my face. It was a really refreshing read! But at the same time, it was a frighteningly accurate reveal into the world of high school culture. We, as adults, sit on the outside of the true happenings of our schools, and although we have lived through it, we have also outgrown it, making our opinions jaded. I mean, can you honestly remember what it felt like to live through high school? I can honestly say I have tried somewhat (un)successfully to block it from my mind, but every now and then I see something going on where I teach and all those memories come rushing back.

This would be an excellent book for any high school aged girl through adult trying to understand the lives and roles of teenagers these days. And to try and pretend judgment and criticism are not a part of adolescence is simply ridiculous. Sometimes we, as adults, just need to immerse ourselves in their world, even through a story like this one, to see the truth of what they live through every day. It might make you a little more sympathetic as you give them detention or scold them for not finishing their work. We see the world through our adult eyes, but we forget that as teenagers, we didn't even know who we were at that point. Vivian did a great job with this story explaining the lives of teenagers and I am sure all adolescents would find at least one character to relate to. Even if they don't want to admit it!
I loved this book for a number of reasons, the main one being that, being a young person of around this age, I could relate so well to the book that I could basically pin certain characters as people that I know.

This book really captures the essence of the judgement placed upon girls (and boys) in high school, how quickly your view on someone can change because of something silly like a list, something so simple, not at all dignified or of great importance. I guess simplicity is what counts in books for teenagers like me who are a little slow on the intake.

The characters were very believable, not going to such an extent as a cliché of stereotypical high school students with the one queen bee and the others just roaming around aimlessly with their unimportant cliques, I mean, there was Margo obviously who was the top girl, but she wasn't a slave driver or anything. She genuinely appreciated her friends and didn't treat everyone like they were less than her which was a nice change of pace.

I like that the author touched on inner beauty. And I don't mean the little speech they give you in school or girl scouts or whatever about being beautiful no matter what anyone says, but more the opposite, telling a story of a girl who is pretty on the outside but oh so ugly on the inside, and her little realization of what she does to people. Having the pretty girl be the vulnerable one made things interesting.

I was left at the end with so many questions about everyone, Danielle especially, I really wish they were answered or that the author writes a sequel, because this is a great book and that's the only reason I'd leave out a star.

A great read for 13-15 year olds. Those older may not enjoy it as much, but give it a try if you're looking for a quick, fun read.
