Negative Positive
Title: The best aspect of this book is Cybil.
Review: I had a lot of trouble getting into the book at first because the writing is very i-read-seventeen-magazine-as-a-hobby, and the narrator, Andrea, is perhaps one of the most appearance-oriented, obnoxious high school "rebel" ever printed. The character of Cybil, however, who enters the story directly after having shaved her head in a moment of indecision and the overwhelming influence of an older, intriguing rock star, made me cry at so many random places. Little things about her really touched me, the way that Andrea describes her picking grass out of her socks... Andrea's character has no bulk, no substance, but Cybil transforms from a semi-popular jock to a completely independent,lost teenager... SHE is who i identified with. I would be in love if she were a real person.
