I was shocked when I logged on to Amazon and saw so many snarky, bitter reviews; I expected this book to have a solid five star rating. I do a lot of reading and it not every day that I find a book so engrossing, so honest, so profound, and so funny that I clear my schedule in order to plow through it. To all those mean-spirited reviewers, my question is: if you hated the book so much, why did ...             The Freedom Writers Diary : How a Teacher and 150 Teens Used Writing to Change Themselves and the World ...138 reviews Freedom Writers, Zlata Filipovic Main Street Books, 1999 The Freedom Writers Diary : How a Teacher and 150 Teens Used Writing to Change Themselves and the World Around Them An excellent read.

I used to be a huge fan of Stephen King's -- in the days of his classic works Carrie, The Shining, It, The Stand and Salem's Lot. I stopped reading King regularly after he published Pet Sematary which I found repulsive. However, King has restored my faith in his unique storytelling abilities with Duma Key.
