  Speak

  Speak is a clever and an ironic title for a story in which the main character chooses not to speak a whole lot. This book is written in first person.

• Best book to descibe girls
  This is one of the best books to describe females. Everyone knows that girls are the most confusing objects in this world.

Many of the women in my life have been molested or raped, and it really helped to be able to see what they might be feeling. It was certainly a good book for a young man in high school to read, I'm sure it was good for the whole class.
