Description In Pursuance Of Books Shine

When her best guy friend falls victim to a vicious hate crime, sixteen-year-old Cat sets out to discover who in her small town did it. Richly atmospheric, this daring mystery mines the secrets of a tightly knit Southern community and examines the strength of will it takes to go against everyone you know in the name of justice.

Against a backdrop of poverty, clannishness, drugs, and intolerance, Myracle has crafted a harrowing coming-of-age tale couched in a deeply intelligent mystery. Smart, fearless, and compassionate, this is an unforgettable work from a beloved author.

Article Containing Books Shine

3.5 starsI'm always a little guilty and anxious when I give books a lower rating than all my friends. I'll be wondering, why didn't I like it, did I miss something there? With Shine, it was double the anxiety, since both Ceilidh and Tatiana loved it, and I respect their opinions quite a bit! But somehow, this book fell short for me, maybe because I expected too much of it. Shine is about sixteen year old Cat, a girl from a small Southern town whose friend falls victim to a hate crime. When it

I rate this book 5 stars.Close your eyes. Imagine yourself alone, bloodied, the still night surrounding you. There's only the flickering of a small, lone light bulb right above you, but there's no one there - you are completely, utterly alone, beaten and bloodied, strapped to a gas pump with the words Suck this, faggot scratched across your chest. There's a gas nozzle stuck in your mouth, making you swallow the oil because there's nothing else you can do, and the fumes are making you

you can cast off the darkness and shine again, cant you?Shine tells the story of a brutal crime in a small town. Patrick Truman is found beaten and left for dead. Cat, Patricks best friend, is determined to find out what happened no matter what. Readers jump, right along with Cat, into the storm of small town gossip, fear, and hatred to find the truth.First and foremostI have to gush about the writing. Language, words, and descriptions that pulled me in at page one. I was there. On the mountain.

Love it just as much on the re-read, if not more. Original review (from 2010):I love Lauren Myracle's books. Like, LOVE them. In reading Bliss last year, I was struck by how Myracle had seemed to shift her focus to darker themes. She's always dealt with serious topics, often laced with heavy doses of lightening humor, but with Bliss, and now Shine, she's certainly moved over into the seedier side of human experience. Cat lives in a small, rural North Carolina town, where everyone knows everyone,

I can't remember the last time I was this angry at a book for so many different reasons. It was mediocre but okay for the first hundred pages or so. A few things didn't sit quite right with me, but I couldn't pin it down. I don't doubt Myracle's good intentions, but the whole thing did come off as very moralizing without much substance behind it.The part that automatically made this a one star review was Cat's confrontation of the meth dealer. I was offended by the lack of intelligence shown in

3.5 Stars I read SHINE for Anti-Bullying Week, and while it was a decent book, I had some issues with connecting with the main character, Cat.Of course, theres the age difference. As an adult who enjoys reading YA, I dont actually believe thats ever a true issue with my disconnect with a main character, and I dont believe it was here. For this book, it was the religious differences between Cat and I. I like to believe that Im a good person, and Cat seemed like one too, but her faith in God and

Lauren Myracles SHINE uses atmosphere and suspense to examine small-town life and the intolerance and complexities that can underlie it. When Cat was thirteen, she was best friends with Patrick, but then something happened and she stopped speaking to most people. Now, three years later, Patrick is the victim of a horrible hate crime. When the investigation stalls, Cat decides to unravel the mystery for herself and bring Patricks attacker to justice. In the process, Cat uncovers startling
