Summary: Too good to be true
Comment: What Hearts is a well-written and thoughtful book. I loved how they got the title. The only thing that bothered me was that Asa was a little too good to be realistic. I'd still recommend the book to middle schoolers though.
Rating: 5
Summary: Straight from the heart
Comment: There are have been an incredible amount of books written in recent years for young people, but even if you exclude the junk there are very few that can be called really great. Bruce Brooks' "What Hearts" is one of these.
Brooks presents his basic themes, forgiveness (a rather unusual subject) and the meaning of love, with absolute sincerity. Asa's feelings and problems are real. It doesn't matter how different your life and problems may be from Asa's; if you are sensitive to your own feelings, I think you will be able to identify with his.
This may sound a bit odd, but it's also one of the most beautiful books I've ever read. I might particularly cite, in the second chapter, Asa's forgiveness and acceptance of his friend Joel. The end of this chapter is truly wonderful; all by itself, this would make the book a great one. Also the almost heartbreaking, though very beautiful, concluding chapter, one of the most sensitive and true descriptions of love (and, once again, forgiveness) that I know.
All in all it's a masterpiece. Sure, hardly any book is absolutely flawless, and "What Hearts" is no exception. But the author's remarkable perception, exquisite writing, and love for the human heart transcend any small faults you might find with the story. It is one of those rare books that really come from the heart.

Summary: Stop pretending you care!
Comment: What hearts is a well thought out book it has a lot to do with being neglected by his mom and step father. I thought this book was depressing. I am a happy person who enjoys smiles all the time. I get mad at myself when my friends get mad at me because i know i would never want someone to be hurt by something I have done. I felt that 'WHAT HEARTS" isn't a good book for you too read if you are looking for romance, love, friendship, but its a good book if you want too see what others go through who at times are not as loved as much by parents because they don't care as much as they need to for their child, they only care about themselves.
