Negative Positive
Title: Trite characters, predictable plot
Review: As a reader of Young Adult fiction, I always cheer when an author puts together a book that gives credit to the intelligence of the average teen. Unfortunately, I could find little here to cheer for.Overdrawn character stereotypes, unbelievable events, and a predictable plot all combine to make this work a mild insult to the intelligence of young adult readers.The basic "Breakfast Club" idea is sound, and it would be interesting to see this book completely rewritten with an eye towards fresher, more believable characters and plot events that aren't so hard to swallow.
Is the review positive or negative?
