| There's a lot to love about this book. I admit I was put off at first, because it sounded too contemporary to be a historical, but after a chapter or two I settled in. It builds to a hysterical romp of "what could possibly get worse?" and reminded me ...more | |

| Wow. What an incredible book and series! So many unexpected twists in this one, and I couldn't predict them. (Rare!) I will admit that the book and series have way too many character names, especially when we keep getting told not only the riders' na ...more | |

| I wanted to love this: Joan Jett is my top rock & roll idol. And everything I read in this book about her made me love her even more. But ... it didn't feel like a book truly about her. It was a book about the eras in which she's played. Lots of tang ...more | |

| At 28 pages, it is indeed short. Even so, the author needed to (but didn't) break it into scenes or short chapters or something. It was like reading Hemingway. (And this is not a compliment.) There's nothing really wrong with it, but ... 28 pages. I ...more | |

A lot to like: it felt very fresh, good action, and I liked both the H/H. A few quibbles: I can't put my finger on it, but the voice sometimes felt too modern or used phrases I believe to be modern. The author was also trying to show that Neve, the he ...more |

| More of a magazine than an actual book. Good photos and decent overview, but one truly odd thing: they devote 8 pages to Jackie (appropriate) and 2 pages to Caroline (appropriate) and then, to finish off the book, they go wildly off the rails and spe ...more | |

| Great storytelling and clever, twisty plot. I saw much of it coming, but not all! Well done. As a grammar nerd, I was bugged for quite a while by all the sentence fragments and incomplete sentences: the author mistook a gerund for an active verb, and ...more | |

| Loved all the relationships in the book and how they evolved. But Hamlet was too melodramatic, even for an 8th grader. Every time she said she was so busy thinking about her problems that she didn't hear a word her teacher(s) said, I rolled my eyes. ...more | |
