Review by Chloe
Who would like this book? All ages should avoid this book.
The goods on this book: Let me just say, I let my friend pick out my book. My friend is a jerk. And I’m stupid and won’t back out of a bet even if it means brutally killing my brain cells. This book is about boyfriend drama. And that’s it. No, really. I couldn’t find any other meaning in this book. At first I thought it was about friends… but in this book girls abandon friends for a boy who knew them for a minute. Also, it has some “monsters.” I say “Monsters” because they are just whiny high school girls with pointy teeth or webbed fingers. Then we come up with Dracula’s cousin’s or Wolfman’s brother’s taxi driver’s cousin’s nephew’s daughter. The main character is a girl named Frankie Stein — OH MY, I CANNOT SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING. THERE IS NO WAY THERE IS ANY RELATION TO FRANKENSTEIN — who is Frankenstein’s granddaughter. (WHAT A TWIST.) She ends up going to school but she has to wear about 3 tons of make-up to conceal her green skin. She meets King Tut’s great granddaughter or something, fashionable werewolves, and lagoon monsters with the worst Australian accents. Another character’s name is Melody. She has NO personality and dates a shy cheating guy named Jackson. Oh, this book is soooooo bad.
