Title: Don't be a victim, pass this one by
Product review: I read this book hoping that it would clear up the loose ends in the second installement of the series. It didn't. Instead, Green spun a convoluted plot that made absolutely no sense. Worse still, this book was in serious need of a good editor. There were some glaring errors. The dialogue was hokey and irritating at best. Green tried to keep her characters current with making pop culture references from 2001-2002. Most of the time it came off as a middle-aged surburban parent trying to capture urban lingo. It didn't work. And some of the references were tasteless- like the reference to R&B singer Aaliyah's death (which was mispelled). All of this I could have overlooked had there been a good story with a good mystery (seeing that it is in the mystery genre). But alas, there is not.
