my input on spin it like that

Spin it Like That, was pretty good. It draws you in from the very beginning. Spin it like that addressed problems that a regular teen goes through everyday and also provided you with the consequences so you could see how not to get yourself in those situations. while it did all that it still managed to keep me entertained with a fictional plot.

spin it like that

This book is right up my alley because I love music and dee-jaying. It shows the connection between friends and family. The book shows the value of working hard and living through your dreams to accomplish things; in this case dee-jaying to have money for college. The book also shows teens how negative influences and people can change the direction of your life. You have to be careful who you associate with and make wise decisions even when people try to steer you in the wrong direction.

This book was wonderful!

This book was so good! I liked it because it talks about teenage life styles and the music industry. The more I read the better the plot became! The characters were like people I know and the story made you really care about them. The ending was not what you expected .

Great read!!

Congratulations again, Chandra on a job well done! I enjoyed reading the book so much, I finished it almost in one sitting. Your characters Jasmine Richardson, her brother Derrick and all of the other characters seemed so real. I look forward to your next book and I wish you continued success.
