January 08, 2004: I think that Charlotte Herman is an excellent writer. She explains her thoughts and each line. I loved 'What Happened to Heather Hopkowitz'. I think that Charlotte should make more books about this book or similar to it. I would definitely reccomend this book to others. I am jewish so I understood what she was saying. My mom even wanted to read this book, because from chapter 1 until chapter 18 all I was saying was' Mom this book is excellent' and stuff like that. I told my friend about this book and the very next day she went out and bought it and she also is jewish and loved the book. I am not trying to say that people who are not jewish aren't going to like or understand it I'm saying that jewish people will understand it more. I LOVED THE BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
