I never did like sailor mars. She was always so mean and rude and I never understood why. Even as an adult I just see her as someone who bullies to get her way and is way too demanding. This particular book just proved how terrible of a friend she really is and everyone else just went along with it while timidly disagreeing. If I had a young daughter that read this book I would be so tempted to turn into a hovering mom and discuss the book with her and discuss female friendships. I hope young girls don’t try to be like sailor mars. As a hero, yea sure, she’s great at saving the world. But as a friend she lacks. Greatly. And I’ve always been one that’s sensitive to friendships and take them very seriously.
I read the book to sate my nostalgia. I recognized two of the “episodes” and was actually seeing the scenes from the tv show in my head, so that was pretty fun. Can’t say the book is good for much else than that.
