    For me, ms. Ellis is a great writer and all of her books are a great read. Looking for x was a book of intellectual quality and I recommend it to all readers who like her books or for those looking for a good read. Also, I recommend The Breadwinner which starts off a touching trilogy about the struggle of Parvana in Afganistand. Deborah Ellis, I love you!

    It's hard cause u can't call this crap.The story has some meaning to it.Khyber is telling out what she fells.Althought, I have to say that it was not the best story , cause I know that I read better.So if u are planning to read or buy the book, u should just sto p and read a bit if it, so that u can see if it the right way of a book.......... It was crap in ways

    It's Ok

    Looking 4 X is not that great because the beginning is inappropiate (@ least from my view) saying that her mother is a stripper and that is the whole beginning! It was weird 2 because she has an imaginary friend named X. It was ok only because it was interesting sort of. I dont really reccomend it 2 NE1 so if u were planning on buying it, make sure u read the beginning 1st!!!!!!!!!
