***This review contains some mild spoilers***
This book has been a Christmas present (Thank you, Kim). And that makes not-finishing it pretty impolite (So sorry, Kim). But I also know, that Kim has the same opinion as I have when it comes to reading and pleasure: Spending time with a novel means having fun, means being entertained in the first place to us. And if a book starts to bore, to annoy or to make turning pages hard, there is always the possibility to switch books. I could peruse the ques More...

Beth has always been "The Beast" - that's what everyone at school calls her because of her awkward height, facial scars, and thick glasses. Beth's only friend is geeky, golden-haired Scott. That is, until she's selected to be her choir's soprano soloist, and receives the makeover that will change her life forever. When Beth's choir travels to Switzerland, she meets Derek: pale, brooding, totally dreamy and fell in love instantly. However there is something Derek is hiding from her More...

Where should I start? This book is one hell of an emotional ride for me. I laughed, I cringed, I smiled and I cried. And oh boy did I cry, I bawled like a baby. It never happened to me. I tear a little that’s all but this book wrenched my heart. It’s about loving your self. It’s about family, friends, music, love and most of all it’s about life. I so love this book!

I didn’t expect this book to be this beautiful. I didn’t expect at the end I’ll cry. But man, it pulled out the cry baby in me, the More...

I must say that Sing Me To Sleep is one of the best books I’ve read these few years. Angela cleverly weaves a touching, absorbing story about friendship, family, love and life. Sing Me To Sleep makes me see the harsh realities of life, the unyielding power of friendship, and shows us that true love transcends all.

Beth was once an ugly girl who was bullied some mean boys in school. After she received sessions of beauty treatment in order to be presentable as the Bliss’s soloist during the Choral More...

This review will maybe contain spoilers!

One thing I dislike is when books are predictable (trust me, that's the only thing i don't like about books.) I thought this book will be one of those "predictable books". Typical story, she is ugly, nobody likes her, and then she meets a perfect guy. He is starting to act strange, and she knows that something is wrong. And yes, something is wrong...(I don't want to say the rest because of people who will read this book). I can't say I was wrong. I knew More...

I’m still really torn about how I feel about this book. On one hand it’s an interesting story and excellent writing. Morrison knows how to spin a story in a way to keep the reader captivate and interested in her characters. It’s a true gift when an author can get a reader to care about the characters even when I didn’t agree/like everything they did/went through.

That said, there are still two things about the story that, even weeks later, still really bother me. One is the make over. I don’t min More...

Sing Me to Sleep is a story about a girl named Beth. Her first memory growing up is her father describing her as dame ugly. Growing up, Beth is known as The Beast. Teased and abused by the boys at school just because she's tall, facial scars and coke bottle glasses. Her fathers words rings true, she believes those words...dame ugly, the Beast, no one will ever love her, but, she can sing, really sing, and it's beautiful...

This book is..Beautiful!

Sing Me to Sleep really hit me hard, it's filled w More...

I’d rather be miserable loving you than happy with anyone else.

3 and a half stars

Basic plot:
Girl is "ugly" but is a beautiful singer. Choir group gives her makeover. "Hot" guy from another choir falls in love with her. Dark secret, etc.

What I liked about this book:
-It was cheesy but it still managed to be likeable and it kept my interest.
-The last 50 or so pages had me in tears, so obviously it was good at tugging at the heartstrings.
-The best friend. I liked her best friend more than Derek. More...

There were definitely some heartwarming moments in Sing Me to Sleep, and I completely understand how this book could be quite charming for the majority of YA contemporary fans. Therefore, I’m going to equate my indifference for this book to my current mood. See, I think I’m on the precipice of a reading slump, and I don’t want to blame SMtS for what might be a bad book mood.

So, I will start off by saying that I feel the writing and the characters were both sharp and intriguing; and while I stru More...

Let me start off by saying I cried, like tears rolling down my cheeks.


Starting this book I felt a little guilty for not reading Morrison's first novel TAKEN BY STORM but I couldn't resist it, the beautiful cover and the way the book started just grabbed me and pulled me in. I love how the story is more about the inside beauty of love than the outside, I felt that Beth really grew as a character. It's hard to love either Derek or Scott, their both amazing, I did have times where I would get frus More...

I was supposed to give this a two-star rating but because of all these misleading hypes that pushed me to pick this up, I'm downgrading it to just one now. Because it was horrible. Okay, not all of it was horrible, like the first part which sounded like The Princess Diaries but not as self-deprecating. BUT! I thought Angela Morrison was too ambitious that her ideas just kept on flying mid-book and come the resolution parts, she had no other way to continue her story but to use cliches. I. can't. More...

First of all, a trillion thank yous to Ayush for making me read this and a thumbs up to Ali for pushing me when i was in doubt.

I knew how this book was going to end but i cried anyway for a solid 64 minutes. I don't remember if i have cried that much since my sweet, sweet dog died five years ago or when the boy i really liked- almost loved played with my heart and then tore it into tiny little bits like it was a worthless piece of paper, cold and emotionless. Pity that i didn't have a pack of ti More...

I have NEVER in my WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE cried so hard in a book before. It's a 1st place heartwrencher. I cried more in this book than I did in Mockingjay and The book Thief, put together! And I couldn't stop crying for literally 47 minutes after.

The last couple of chapters, I was stoked - 5* - That's a lot!

This book was literally sad. And it's horrible 'cause even though it was sad, it was sad in a way that made you smile - if that makes any sense af all. It was beautifully, heartwrenchingly, hau More...

Love is beautiful and love is tragic but it’s always worth having.

Beth has been the beast her whole life. Surrounded by beautiful people who see nothing more. And Scott. A friend through it all who sees past even more. But when Beth gets the lead solo in her all girls’ choir and undergoes the makeover of a lifetime for a world choir competition in Europe, she learns that maybe it’s not just her voice that is beautiful.

When she meets Derek, she’s certain that she must have entered a dream. A gu More...

This really is one of the most beautiful stories I have ever read. It had me laughing, and it had me crying. It had me feeling so low, I was effected when I put the book down, yet so happy and hopeful for myself, that it left me smiley and in a bit of a dreamy state. It's just impossible for me to put into words just how incredibly moving I found Sing Me to Sleep. This book has effected me so deeply, it will stay with me forever. Just beautiful.

It’s hard to say why this book made such the emoti More...

Sing Me to Sleep is very emotional but sometimes overly so. And being perfectly honest, the story should read hokey, in a soap opera over the top kind of way. Take each element on it's own and everything could have become too much. There's a make over, a boy who's special for reasons unknown, and a love that starts in another country. Then there's another boy pining over his best friend. And the bullies!! But I suppose this is my kind of drama because enjoyed it and am not even embarrassed to ha More...

I can't begin to say how much I LOVED THIS BOOK! It surpassed my expectations and is definetly one of the best love stories I have ever read. I laughed, I cried, I felt everything Beth and Derek were feeling for each other.

Though she lived her life on the sidelines, Beth suddenly found herself thrust into the spotlight when she is chosen to be the new soloist for her all girls choir. With her beautiful voice leading the way, Beth's group wins a spot to compete in the 'Choral Olympics' to be held More...

Personally, I don't think it's fair for authors to write about cancer (i'm not sure if what Derek had was cancer but it was something similar lol) because it's an easy way of getting a high rating (admit it, we all cried when we read My Sister's Keeper and TFIOS). I don't think this book was an exception to my opinion. Sing Me to Sleep is a book about a girl learning what love is with a guy that *spoiler* eventually dies in the end. But it's all good--the development of the main character (Taryn More...

A música ainda está em mim. A história da Beth e Derek também.
Fui fisgada de uma maneira que nenhum livro até hoje fez. Claro, houve aqueles que me deixaram sem palavras, excitada e sorridente, mas Cante para eu dormir superou minhas expectativas alcançando meu coração.
A história conta o desenrolar de uma mudança, não apenas exterior, mas também interior. Conta, e canta o amor tão lindamente que te faz escutar as notas do coro e a voz dos personagens.
A leitura é ricamente escrita, assim como as More...

I'm doing this for you.
I was really stupid to think that this was some kind of a Justin Bieber fanfiction (Maybe because Derek is from Ontario too). This book didn't give those feelings The Fault in our Stars did, but I did spend the whole night crying. So Beth, the main character, is really ugly. But she has an amazing voice. Everyone hated and called her The Beast, except for his Scott. Scott is Beth's BFF but it's really obvious that he's in love with Beth. I really loved them together. Beth More...

****Some Spoilers...just a warning****

I really enjoyed this book. It got a little boring at parts and Beth got annoying at times but overall it was pretty good. I loved Derek though. He was absolutely amazing. I loved the transformation that beth went through throughout the novel. The one thing I didn't really like...Scott. I just...he didn't have much of a depth to me. I also did not like him and Beth together. Some times some people just need to stay friends. I did not like the ending when Bet More...

4.5/5
Vi el libro y pensé “qué portada tan bonita!!” Leí la descripción y pensé “música! Síi!” Pero me preocupaba que el libro fuera como “Bety, la Fea” recuerdan esa telenovela? Bien, para mi buena suerte, no fue así.

Beth es agradable, aunque un poco dependiente, es dulce, buena onda, su autoestima es muy baja pero en realidad tú sabes que ella ha sufrido intimidación por parte de sus compañeros en la escuela por que: es muy alta, usa lentes muy gruesos y tiene esas cicatrices en el rostro que l More...

Wao que puedo decir de este libro???!!!!!!
Que es demaciado,demaciado todo.Demaciado bueno,demaciado interesante,demaciado emotivo y demaciado larga la lista de adjetivos que tendría que usar para describir la maravilla de libro que acabo de leer.

Tenemos a Beth que es muy alta y muy pero muy fea o diría yo mal arreglada,por que si como bien dice la sinopsis hay una transformación.Pero su transformación además de su cuerpo también es del alma.Luego de ser la mas fea de su escuela,porque si es una More...

I lovelovelovelove this book. Definitely my favorite book of all time! The plot was so original and beautiful. It left me thinking for days. I adored the characters. Beth was so relateable and different, just like me. She wasn't perfecr or beautiful like most main characters are. Derek, on the other hand, was simply perfect. Flawless. I loved him so much. He did annoy me at the beggining, especially with his secret, but once I realized what he was hiding, I couldn't love him more. His secret was More...
