this book was GREAT! it helped me accept other people, and become a "stargirl" myself. i am no longer following the crowd, but found the "stargirl" in me, and now following that feeling. I would totally recommend this to those searching for their true self, or for people who just needs a laugh! =D GREAT BOOK!

It is my favourite book of all time! It really helped me grasp the understanding of life and made me feel as if i can do alot more. I also learned that i shouldnt care what other people think. I love this book.

I think this was a good book. It is about discovering yourself and acceptance. I would recommend it.

I thought this book was going to take off somewhere, but it was boring and unrealistic. I mean, yes there could be a girl or boy coming to your school like that. but it just doesnt cut it for this society.

I think this book was okay, not the best not the worst

I personally thought this was an EXCELLENT book! its really easy for a teenage girl to relate to. It also evokes a desire to do good and be independent. I recommend it for ALL ages, although it is quite an easy read.
