Review title: i give it one star for humor value
Product review: i read this book way the heck back when it first came out, and even now it haunts my memory. it is the worst book i have ever read in my entire life, and i've read some really bad books. i don't think it was supposed to be amusing, but i laughed so hard i cried. it's kind of sad, because the author has written some good books in the YA genre, with truly wonderful characters. this book was an appalling 180-degree turn from what i had come to expect from her writing. it was flat and lifeless, with paper-thin characters and stilted dialogue draped over an absurd plot. still, i got a kick out of it, and although i don't recommend it to anyone looking for a taut, suspenseful thriller, it makes for a good laugh.
