Brian Boozer is a good kid in a bad situation. At thirteen, he's already endured the pain of losing his father and the agony of living with a step-father who hates and abuses him. At school, Brian suffers even more torment, delivered by bullies who seem to enjoy making his life miserable. The only bright spot in Brian's life is Carly, the girl on whom he's had a crush for years. As his relationship with her evolves, so do the problems at home and the confrontations at school. A distressed Brian retreats further into himself, hiding behind the wall he's built as protection from the cruel chaos around him. Eager to be free of his troubles, Brian fights to be heard in a world that won't listen.

A 60,000 word novel plus bonus material.
For mature audiences only.

5,0 su 5 stelle Life is brutal
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 3 maggio 2012
Acquisto verificato
Rage is a very brutal story. The suffering and violence that Brian suffers is horrible. But you know what? This life!! This does go on!! Kimberly grabbed our gut and never let go. She broke our hearts, suffering along with Brian. She stoked our anger until we too felt some of the rage that Brian felt. I feel this is a very well done book and I find Kimberly a writer who I will always follow. Rarely does a writer grab my attention as she has. The reviews I read that were low disturbed me on one level. It was like those readers don't want to think about these types of things happening, but they do. Some even far worst than what Kimberly wrote. This is life!! Its not a fluffy bunny or a pretty little rainbow! The graphic violence doesn't bother me. I suppose that is because I have worked public service most of my life and I have no illusions of the evil that another human being is capable of and can and will do. Kimberly makes us think; what would we do if that happened to us? Kimberly, I see great things in your future!! Thanks you!!

5,0 su 5 stelle Difficult book, difficult to review but easy to rate as 5 star!
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 31 marzo 2012

This is a difficult book to review because it was a difficult book to read. On the very first page harrowing abuse was described and as the book continued this simply did not ease up - violence, despair, abuse, people looking the other way - it all just seemed hopeless and horrific. Personally I wanted to leap in and rescue Brian from a terrible world where even his own mother let him down. The author wrote incredibly well about the subject, never glamorising it nor moralising but simply being factual as if she were a reporter looking in on the events that were happening and that is why it is successful. I would encourage you to read it simply because it's an important story that's well told. I don't think I'd be brave enough to tackle the subject of abuse and I have to take my hat off to Kimberly for doing so - she writes very well and I am sure we're going to hear a lot more from her!

4,0 su 5 stelle Enough Already
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 28 marzo 2012

In Kimberly A. Bettes novel "Rage," 13-year-old Brian Boozer's life is horrific. His alcoholic step-dad is a child-beater and molester who sucks down the money Brian's double-shift working mother brings home so efficiently that Brian has little in his life to live on. His situation at school is no better, dealing with small pack of sadistic bullies. Save for one girl who gives him the time of day for reasons not entirely clear, Brian is alone to face the world bereft of any adult or child willing to look past the physical and emotional abuse and scars to give him a hand up. Therein lies the positive and negative aspects of this story.

In an effort to show the terrible nature of bullying, along with the ultimate final betrayal, "Rage" is relentless in its anti-bullying message by any member of society on another. It is a great instructional tool on how one exists and then drowns in a world in which no child should live. Kudos. The effort to show the negativity of bullying, however, provides no inkling as to the means in which readers could/should curtail such situations in their life. One could argue that Bettes doesn't have the responsibility to provide or hint at answers to the bullying dilemma in telling Brian's story, but the abrupt ending made the story feel incomplete, as though no answers exist, and that the people in this story learned nothing, making it a double tragedy. No one grew; no one changed. He is a victim in the beginning, middle, and end. All are villains in the beginning, middle, and end.

The story is well-written. The spiraling downward trail of events believable. It certainly built my rage, including at times towards Brian, who seems well aware of the events unfolding around him, but still backs off taking the baby steps necessary to curtail his personal hell. It's a solid read about a difficult subject matter that some readers may not finish, but should. It is a well done "4."

4,0 su 5 stelle Not quite what I was expecting.
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 10 settembre 2012

After reading 'Held' by Kimberly A Bettes, I was expecting something a little more sinister and much gorier. I was a little disappointed by the premise of this book. This is not to say that I didn't enjoy it for what it was. It was well written and for readers who enjoy this type of book, I would heartily recommend it. It has lots of passion and you can completely sympathise with the main character who bears more burden than a young boy should ever know. It was sickening and awful to read about the atrocities that happened in his life on a daily basis. It wasn't what I was expecting but it won't stop me from trying out more from Kimberly Bettes.

5,0 su 5 stelle Excellent read and very real.
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 13 maggio 2012

Situations like what this boy goes through is very real and do happen. I think it's great the author started out very matter of fact because I don't see any other way to put it out there. Certainly the lives of people living that way aren't eased into it and I think that if she had eased readers into his life, the reader wouldn't have reacted the way we are supposed to. Sometimes while reading I just wanted to put the book down and call it quits but I couldn't. Although this is a book of fiction, I felt as though I would be disrespecting this boys story...his life by not completing it. The story brought tears to my eyes and made me sick to my stomach sometimes but I would be lying if I didn't say that I think his parents deserved what they got...Not in the way that it happened, of course. That's just too much to put on a kid. I hope many other have the opportunity to read this because I think that these types of stories are the kick in the butt needed to really drive in the point that bullying is unacceptable and that everyone who turns a blind eye to these things is responsible for what happens when these problems are ignored.
