Answer 2

Not On The Label by Felicity Lawrence.  She has another book out now which I haven't yet read, but she really opens your eyes about food, how it gets to us, what makes it expensive, what to do about it, and so on.  Steer clear of supermarkets!

Answer 5

Answer 6

Breaking Dawn, by Stephenie Meyer, because I used to think that the Volturi were nice, and tried to actually keep everything secret and calm. And, I think now that they are just power hungry...

Answer 7

I'll get quite a few thumbs down for this, but if you want me to be honest...

Breaking Dawn changed my mind about Stephenie Meyer. I used to think she was alright, her books still mediocre, but I went to get BD at midnight anyway with some friends. And it was SO bad that I just lost respect for her and her books. It's like she thought she could throw whatever c**p she wanted at her fans and they'd bite, chew, and swallow without blinking twice and open up for more. Major insult. And she thinks she's JK Rowling, when in reality, her books are just a phase. Harry Potter is forever.

Edit: If you'd asked a month ago, I'd give a deeper answer, ha. It would have been that White Oleander by Janet Fitch changed my mind about young adult/teen books. I've been reading and enjoying classics more than teen books ever since I read it. And I made the decision to take in foster kids when I get older...

Answer 8

I'd have to say that the book 'Th1rteen R3asons Why' by Jay Asher really sort of put things into perspective for me. It's basically about this girl, Hannah Baker, who committed suicide because everyone around her poked and prodded her. And they were cruel about it. It wasn't the occasional joke among friends. It was terrible, hateful things. And while that may sound old fashioned, it really isn't once you think about it.

You can't go around saying things behind peoples back, or even to their face, that is even remotely insensitive. It was awful, the things they said to her. But it wasn't so much the content that made them awful. It was the fact that i hear the same thing about girls (and some guys) at my own school. And people play it off like it's nothing. It's NOT nothing. It can affect someone so greatly, they feel that death is their only way out. Read the book. It's great, and so depressing, but still, great.

Answer 9

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown.

It changed my look on God, religion, and how science really works. How the universe was created and if there really is a God.

It's a great book though!

Answer 10

Night by Elie Wiesel

I used to think of the holocaust as just history, something that was bad, but was a lesson in a history book. After reading Night, I saw faces, hearts, and lives distroyed. My heart broke and looked at the Holocaust in a new light. Night also showed me that this wasnt too long ago, and that people are still affected by it. Ever since I read that book I have taken a liking to historic events now and present, because in order to know our future we have to know are past.

Also I would like to say that  "The Divine Revelations of h**l" also changed my complete view of h**l. I use to think of it (h**l) as a scary story that clergy tell non believers. Now I believe, it scared the c**p out of me!
