4.75. 'Bunch of perverts in this church,' Taft whispered to Morgan. 'Joseph has two wives, one king's a girl, and Queen Joanne the Normal's in charge.' (page 194-195)

Horrid. Forced to read it for English class, as part of a unit on pleasure reading. Had strong words with my teacher on the subject of what did and what did not constitute pleasure reading.

Their teacher regarded them sadly. 'I'm trying to make it easier for you.'
'But why?' said Remy confusedly. 'You're the one who came over and said we had to pay.'
'I don't know why. I don't know anything about this. I'm trying to spread the blame, I guess.'
'It isn't peanut butter,' said Morgan. 'Blame doesn't spread.'

This book was very poorly written. The plot was so predictable and cliche that it was a struggle to read more than the first few chapters. I like many others was forced to read Drivers Ed.i was forced to read it in Sophomore English. My distaste with the book is also found in the style of writing was dull and not entertaining in any way. In short avoid this book, but not having read any of Caroline B. Conny's other works I can't recommend or otherwise.

Driver's Ed

In this book, three kids are taking driver's ed classes. Then one night they decide that when they were driving home they would steal a road sign. This turned out to be a very bad idea because a few days after the theft they saw on the news that a woman had died, because she did not know the roads well and she got hit by a truck. The kids that had done that felt terrible about the death. They had to go with that burden for a while.

I thought this book was one Cooney's creepier works, just because of how grounded in reality it was. I've always felt guilt keenly, so this book really wound its way into the pit of my stomach. I think this is a good example of what a teen novel can be: it deals with relateable situations that are terrifying in their possibility. It teaches a lesson without being preachy. I remember not being able to put this book down, but really really wanting to do so.
It taught me to think before I do something that helps me but can probably hurt others.
Drivers Ed is one of the many dramatic and impacting novels written by Caroline B. Cooney. It basically talks about these ordinary and naive high school students in their driver's education class who eventually learn the importance of the class from a horrific and fatal event involving a few of their classmates that will change their lives forever. The story starts off as a normal routine for the main characters, Remy Marland and Morgan Campbell, who obviously have strong feelings for each other..more

The book Drivers Ed by Caroline B. Cooney, portrays drivers ed, peer pressure, and high school life all in one book. Throughout the book there are two consistent main characters: Rembrandt 'Remey' Marland and Morgan Campbell who fall for each other in the beginning of the book while bonding over some sign stealing. Remey and Morgan were somewhat pressured into stealing signs but they just wanted to have a good time. During all of this, Remey and Morgan are in the same drivers ed class and both..more

In the book Driver ED by Caroline B. Cooney in my opinion was spectacular. Hands up outstanding by how the Author wrote the book and told the story. Driver’s ED was about a girl named Rembrandt, who was the main character and Morgan, Rembrandt’s secret crush. Rembrandt has a nickname that she goes by in school, its Remy. Morgan and Remy are both in the same Driver’s ED class together and in many of each others other classes. Everyday in Driver’s ED; Mr. Fielding, the Driver’s ED teacher, takes t..more

Personally, I was not very impressed by this book. The story starts off extremely slowly so that it is very hard to get into the book. Admittedly, it takes up speed at about the half of it, but when the climax of the story is reached, it starts to slow down again, leaving only..more

Everything about this book made it appear to be a horror-thriller. I've read other books by this author and most of them were. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a moralistic tale of a teenage prank that takes a deadly turn.
Remy, Morgan, and Lark are all in the same driver's ed class, run by the totally checked out Mr. Fielding, who can't even tell his students apart. One day, while driving, the teens discuss how they want to steal some road signs. They make a plan to do this with Nick, a deli..more

Subjexts: Cars, vandalism, personal responsibility, peer pressure, first-love, family relationships, driving, fear, and taking risks. Cooney “is a master of mixing spellbinding suspense with thought-provoking insight into teenagers' lives” (www.teenreads.com). Driver’s Ed is romance, suspense, and realistic fiction all rolled into one story. It teaches a big lesson in life—how to take responsibility for what you have done. In the case of Remy and Morgan, stealing the stop sign was a split-second..more
This contemporary fictional book centers around a group of high school students going through Driver’s Ed. But most specifically it centers around one boy, Morgan, who doesn’t have a very close relationship with his family. He rarely talks with his parents, and family time is usually spent watching the news together on television. As Morgan and the girl he likes, Remy, start hanging out with a trouble- maker, Nicky, they are drawn into the fad of stealing road signs. One night they steal a stop..more

If I were Remy at this point, I would feel successful because first off, she got to show her crush, Morgan, how good she was at driving during driver's ed. Also because she now knows that her crush loves her too. She got the guy that all the girls wanted. She got to steal road signs with Morgan, which gave them more time to get to know eachother.

This may have been the first Cooney book I read, and it initiated this whole binge on her books. I remember loving it. This, along with Emergency Room and Flight #116 is Down are probably my favorite books written by her. They are definitely not a great literary acheivement, but they are great for the older middle grade readers who need something a little older than Sarah, Plain and Tall but aren't quite ready for a lot of heavy reading (Crime and Punishment..). These books display childhood an..more
Caroline B. Cooney disappointed me this time. In her book's I expect tons of suspense, tragedy, mystery and a certain level of uneasiness. This book was good..very good. But it didn't compare to some of her other books. I would recommend this to people who are interested in stories about teenage lives getting flipped upside down, and the power of guilt. I would definitely not recommend this to readers looking for a fluffy love story, or any fluffy happy story at all. This book kept me intereste..more
I am a fan of Caroline Cooney, and this book was written in her usual manner, but it was incredibly depressing. I nearly cried in the end -- nearly -- and that is defiantely saying something. I wish I could give this 2.5 stars, because the beginning felt so forced. It seemed like she was shoving her characters down the reader's throat. It took until the end of the story to grow comfortble with them, and my that time, they had completely morphed (well, most of them) from what they were in the beg..more
This book was interesting not good but interesting. The beginning I thought was really slow. Then about 3 chapters later the pace went up big time. But it's all the same problem until a few chapters tell the end. I thought Remy and Morgan were really fake. The whole book I just wanted one of them to go to jail or something so one of them wouldn't be in the rest of the story. Now I have been talking bad about it and I gave it 4 stars. It is a interesting book still. The whole tension of what are..more

3.5 I liked this book. It is one I will have my kids read when they are teenagers. I enjoyed the budding romance between Remy and Morgan in the beginning. It was cute and sweet and so much like things were for me in high school.
Just when you thought things were gonna be great, the story took a tragic turn and showed how seemingly innocent actions can have devastating consequences.
This is a good book to show how peer pressure is definitely something to resist, and hopefully inspire kids to stan..more

Going back to the time when I was in school and did stupid things but would never think to take a stop sign that could kill someone like in this story
And yet Remy and Morgan thought of themselves instead of the mother who got killed and left behind a little boy and father
Took to long to into the book and when it got there it went down hill real quick
The one that handled the best once Remy and Morgan told their parents was Morgan farther who was running for office and yet..more
I thought that the main character, Remy, was being completely unreasonable placing ALL of the blame on herself for that women's death. All Remy did was take a STOP sign, the women was the one who didn't stop, or think to look, before she went into an intersection. I mean come on, she was pretty much hit by a MAC truck, if you can't see one of those coming down the road, you have issues. Some may argue that since this happened while it was dark out, the women's failure to see the truck is reasona..more

Remy and Morgan are typical high school teenagers: excited to drive, in love with each other but too shy to admit it, and unable to think when having fun. What starts as a harmless prank of collecting street signs has disastrous results and Remy and Morgan find themselves in the middle of a horrible secret.
• Mild language, infrequent
• An ALA Best Book for Young Adults
• Explores the nature of responsibility.
• A rare book that boys might actually like
At first i thought this book was not that good but once i started reading it, i kind of liked it. It is basically about a girl in school learning how to drive. Remy and her Boyfriend Morgan and Nicholas decided to steal signs but it didn't go well. The tragedy shocked many.
In my opinion, this book was okay but not that great. I expected more from the ending but my expectations were not met. I would recommend this to people.
This book is very heartfelt, but exciting at the same time. This book is about a girl named Remy Marland and a boy named Morgan Campbell, both wanting each other and their drivers license. When Remy's Best friend, Lark suggests a sign game, Morgan, Remy, and Morgan's childhood former friend Nickie Budie set out for two signs, thickly settled and Morgan road. But when Nickie suggests them to take a stop sign, Morgan and Remy are held responsible for Denise Thompson's death.

I liked this book because it was sort of a romantic mystery. I didn't like this book because the guy that was trying to catch them was really weird and creepy. I think people who like mysteries should read this book. I liked how the author used very descriptive words so you could picture what was happening in your head while you were reading. This book kept me thinking about what was going to happen next even when i wasn't reading it. I enjoyed this book.
