Amazon.com
Burdened with the pressure of believing she is responsible for her brother's illness, 15-year-old Callie begins a course of self-destruction that leads to her being admitted to Sea Pines, a psychiatric hospital the "guests" refer to as Sick Minds. Although initially she refuses to speak, her individual and group therapy sessions trigger memories and insights. Slowly, she begins emerging from her miserable silence, ultimately understanding the role her dysfunctional family played in her brother's health crisis.
Patricia McCormick's first novel is authentic and deeply moving. Callie suffers from a less familiar teen problem--she cuts herself to relieve her inner frustrations and guilt. The hope and hard-won progress that comes at the conclusion of the novel is believable and heartening for any teen reader who feels alone in her (or his) angst. Along with Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak and E.L. Konigsburg's Silent to the Bone, McCormick's Cut expertly tackles an unusual response to harrowing adolescent trouble. (Ages 14 and older) --Emilie Coulter -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.
From Booklist
Gr. 7-10. Callie ("ST" for Silent Treatment) is part of Group, teenage girls (make that "guests") hospitalized at Sea Pines (or "Sick Minds") for a variety of psychological "issues"--food, drugs, behavior problems, etc. Callie has begun to cut herself, a fact she reveals only to the reader, for she has stopped talking. Self-mutilation has become her cry for help from a terrifyingly delicate, asthmatic brother; a nonfunctioning mother; and an escaping father. She is so depressed and overwhelmed by her burden of caretaking that she requires the rush of pain and the high of watching her own blood seep to the surface. Like E. L. Konigsburg's Silent to the Bone [BKL Ag 00] and Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak (1999), Cut is another authentic-sounding novel in which elective mutism plays a part, this time with humor making the pain of adolescence gone awry more bearable. A too-tidy ending notwithstanding, this is an exceptional character study of a young woman and her hospital mates who struggle with demons so severe that only their bodies can confess.

I have to say, while I was unable to stop reading this book, it is trite from the opinion of a cutter. Most girls cut to release anger, to get a sense of "high." So, why is it that Callie has no problems? She's not in an abusive family, she'd not in a torrid love affair- what's there to cut about? She feels like her family doesn't want her?
I don't think so.
The plot begins in "Sick Minds" (a mental hospital otherwise known as Sea Pines though there's no sea or pines), Callie refuses to speak (Reminds me of the good novel "Speak-" almost identical given the fact that this reads like I wrote it.) and is threatened that she will be forced to leave if she doesn't cooperate.
There is so little character development, you can predict the triteness from the time you begin the book: yet you can't pull away. From the beginning, it's as though Callie is carrying a heavy burden, but we never figure out WHAT. It gets annoying and you have to put it down.
I think it is worth reading, it's very easy reading for a rainy day, and fun fiction. For real issues dealing with teen cutting, I'd look elsewhere. This simply isn't realistic.

Gold Star Award Winner!
CUT is an amazing first novel by Patricia McCormick that offers a glimpse inside the mind of a 15-year-old girl who cuts herself. For Callie, life just became too complicated. The solution lay right in front of her. One tiny cut. A bubble of red. And yes, pain. Then, escape.
Callie now resides at Sea Pines with several other girls seeking treatment for a myriad of other disorders. She goes to group share time, hooks her sleeves over her thumbs, and hides behind her hair. She sees her counselor twice a day and counts the stripes on the wallpaper. But Callie doesn't share. With anyone. Not even when her mother and little brother visit.
Callie can't bring herself to speak. Instead she watches, and listens. She knows everything about her group mates. But they know nothing about this girl who won't talk. Then, when Amanda joins the group and brazenly flaunts her own scars, it becomes more difficult for Callie to remain silent. And as she begins to speak, she slowly finds she doesn't want to keep it all inside. She wants to get better.
Callie is a bright girl that the reader will easily identify with. You'll care for her the same way she cares about the others at Sea Pines. And you'll be amazed when you find out what started it all; that it's an entire family in pain, not just Callie. She'll make you cry, and make you laugh some, and in the end you'll feel so proud of her progress.
Cutting is a very real issue for teens. Many, like Callie, don't even know themselves why they do it. CUT is an honest look at how cutting can consume a young person. If you know someone who cuts, share this book with them. Let them know they can find help. They can stop. This is a gusty novel that you won't want to put down until you're sure Callie is safe.

Being a cutter myself I was more than pleased to finally read a good book on this theme.
I was caught from the first site and read it in a few hours.
Some people might say Callie hasn`t got any problems but hey - so do I. You can be a cutter without abusive family background or whatsoever.
