Cut Patricia McCormick Books

Cut is one of those small books that's packed with power, heartbreak and hope. From the cover to the story, everything about this story is eye opening and moving. Patricia McCormick has given a voice to those who cut in silence. More often than not cutters drift through life with no voice, no way to ask for help, and with no one to support them. Callie's voice is one of the reasons why I wanted to read and review this book.

Cut blew me away with how absorbed I became in 15 yr old Callie's world, a cutter who's now at a residential treatment center. The way in which Patricia wrote Callie's story is as though the reader is her therapist. I liked that not only did I get to read about the things Callie choose to tell her therapist, but I got to know by reading about the things she couldn't say. Her journey is amazing, realistic one, and I think many readers will in some way relate to Callie.

I was shocked at how emotional attached I was with Callie. Callie's story is a raw, emotional, and compelling one that has left me more aware of the silent suffers who cut. Who hide their pain. Callie is someone I wanted to hug, I wanted to tell her she could do it, and at other times I wanted to yell at her and ask her why she was doing this. I wanted to her to find her voice and overcome her suffering. Callie is a resilient character. Herstory isn't for everyone, but it's one I recommend to teens, teachers and parents. I'm glad Patricia has given a voice for all the Callie's out there. Though I wish there was more to Callie's story, Cut left me with a feeling of hope for Callie and her future.

Cut Patricia McCormick Books Reviews

Grade B

Callie doesn't speak. Not to her roommate. Not to the other girls in the treatment center. Not to her doctor. Not even to her beloved little brother. She doesn't know why she can't talk any more and she doesn't know why she cuts herself. But if she's going to start feeling better, she'll have to start trusting those who can help her figure out how.

Written for tweens and young teens, CUT is a good introduction to the problems and treatment for the mental health issues many teen girls face. The girls on Callie's ward deal with substance abuse, eating disorders and self injury, engage in therapy to various degrees. While this short novel is somewhat dated in terms of technology and length on inpatient treatment, young readers may be able to recognize themselves in the characters and seek appropriate help from parents or other adults.

Themes self injury, eating disorders, substance abuse, inpatient treatment, family

CUT is an appropriate book for advanced readers as young as grade school to early high school students.
I feel like it really had a great concept and the first half was really intriguing. However, it was just not deep enough. Cutting is a very complex idea and i feel like this was a watered down version of the concept (Good for high school or 8th grade readers). Really stunk that it ended the way it did, although hopeful, it didn't carry out the page turner effect through the whole book. I was really disappointed i spent so much of the day hoping it would get better.
Many people think that “Cut” was a very good book. They say that it was “very inspirational” and “helps you learn life values.” This book lets you see that everyone has hope. The author helps the girl, Callie, that cuts herself so much throughout the book. “It makes you feel like you’re really there with the characters.” One person wrote “Patricia was able to point out that not every kid who cuts isn’t completely morbid and worthless, it’s jidy kids who have a hard time dealing with their emotions.” Honestly this book really shows how little things impact other so much more that you had ever thought. It teaches you that your words have a huge impact on so many and you didn’t even notice. “Cut” really shows you that you never know how much pain a person could really be in without you even noticing they’re there. Many have said that this book helps you “look into the world of someone who cuts.” Overall this book was a really amazing and outstanding book.
Cutting and the associated mutism of the main character are serious topics. They require more in-depth explanation and discussion of the possible reasons and solutions for the behaviors. There was very little plot or character development and it was not a deep or particularly well written book. The size of the book alone should have been an indicator that the complex world of cutting simply cannot be defined or even remotely touched upon in such a limited context. I was guided to this book as an alternative suggestion to Go Ask Alice for a 14 year old girl. I will not be buying Cut for her. Alice has more soul.
I recently went through a bad spat of depression and cut some so when I found this book, I was "over-joyed" and thought that it might help in some way. What it turned out to be though was basically the "memoirs" of a teenage girl in a psychiatric hospital. It offered to help at all and I found myself quickly getting bored with it. Since it failed for the primary reason I got it, I decided to treat it as another book. The characters have very little back story to them and the scenes in the book feel, off, somehow. When I finished reading the book, I felt like I had only read a normal books chapter. It felt over way to quick and left the story kind of just hanging. Overall, this book failed to help me and fell short of expectations for a recreational book also.
