3 Stars - I was drawn to this story because of the idea of a teenage boy who goes out of his way to try to break every bone in his body. I wanted to know just what was behind this idea, why someone would want to do this to themselves.

The plot was interesting and kept me reading. Jonah, our main character had many problems that he didn't know how to deal with - hence breaking his bones so they grow back strong, making him stronger for his family. I felt that the ending left us a little short. I didn't like that I started to care for Johan and I never knew or got the feeling he would be okay. I would have given it more stars if I had more closure. I know sometimes not having closure in a book fits, but for me... I needed more with this one.

Also, Naomi, Johan's best friend pushed my buttons. I was frustrated that she didn't listen to her best friend and support him when things changed or he was trying to change. She used such peer pressure on Jonah that it was hard to read at times. I guess I just felt that he had so much going on that he didn't need that from her piled on top of it all too. Then again, that's true, in some form with most teen's right?

His family didn't know what to do about this either. That part of the book was more then realistic as so many parents face things with their kids that they don't understand, don't know what to do with. I knew that they wanted to help but felt so helpless in the situation with not only Jonah but with his other brothers, both younger - one brother Jesse who's allergic to just about everything and a baby brother Will who does nothing but cry.

In the end this book wasn't what I was expecting. It was a nice change from what I tend to read. I like finding different stories and this was just that. I commend Moskowitz for writing this book and getting published while still in High School. I'll be looking for her next book to see what she has in store for us next.

Break Hannah Moskowitz Books Reviews

I can't decide how much I like this book. The author (I would guess) is a fan of Chuck Palahniuk and J.D. Salinger. Some of the book worked for me, and some of it didn't. Didn't hate it, but didn't love it.
very engaging book but we were bummed by the ending
From the first page this book held me in thrall and I read the entire book in one sitting. The characters surged off the page and their dilemmas drew me in to a point where I felt their pain. It's hard to believe such a powerful story could be written by someone so young, yet the raw emotion that spills from the page could come from no one but a teenager. The ending felt a little forced, which is why I haven't awarded 5 stars. I think as soon as people outside those who enabled him found out the secret, things fell apart to a degree, but then, maybe that's the point because his world fell apart too.
Bought the version.
It was a interesting book. A very quick read
that kept my interest. I think I've read this about 3 times.
The book is about a guy named Jonah who has a complicated family life. His brother Jesse is allergic to everything and his baby brother will cries no stop.Jonah is on a mission to break every bone in his body. To be stronger. I feel like the book was well written.It felt like you knew the characters.
Absolutely loved this book!
This was a pretty good book. I will definitely read other books by this author. I can't wait to see how her writing matures after high school. I agree with others who say the ending wasn't that great, but the rest of the book more than makes up for the rosy ending. I think the author got tired of writing and wanted to wrap this project up and ended it in a way that didn't satisfy me. Don't get me wrong, the ending was OK, just disappointing after the rest of the book was so well written.
Another refreshing and satisfying read from Moskowitz. As with Gone, Gone, Gone the strength is in the world she has crafted for her characters. She writes interesting and layered protagonists, but it is the world that they occupy - that OCCUPIES THEM - that brings them to wonderful and complex life.
