Rx



when i picked up Rx, i had no idea what it was about. once i started reading it, i figured it was just a book about a normal teenage girl named Thyme who had ADD, some crazy friends, and a crush on a boy. but one day Thyme was with the boy she likes, Will. Thyme learns Will's parents think he has ADD so he has Ritalin, but never uses it. while Will is in the bathroom, Thyme takes his Ritalin and her addiction begins. after that, she takes her friends and parents prescriptions and passes them out at school. but she doesn't just pass them out to whoever. she gives them to people who need it. if you have anxity, she'll get you something. but you have to trade her for what you need. so, basiclly, thyme becomes a drug dealer.



this book really made me realise what goes on when parents and teachers aren't paying attention. what goes on even when i don't pay attention. i started paying attention to people around me, and you can definetly tell there's something fishy going on. i liked this book. it did however have some cursing. it wasn't terrible, but it was there. other then that, it was a fairly clean book about the danger of drugs. i was actually surprised how clean it was. all in all, it was a pretty good book. B+

Woooooaaaaah!
Even though there wasn't much written about this book in here, it actually sounds pretty interesting. I have a few friends into drugs and thats their life, but im always interested when people talk about drugs because i think its interesting how their brains work in a way to make them take this stuff. I would probably read this book, although i don't know much about it.
