2.0 out of 5 stars Rhymes with scrap, July 24, 2006

This review is from: Rhymes with Witches (Paperback)

This book is extremely predictable...
At first, you are introduced to a teen queen wannabe-Jane. All she's ever wanted was to be popular, and can't help but admire the "Bitches" a group of girls-one from each grade. Then, all of a sudden the "Bitches" want Jane to be one of THEM! As Jane starts to become one of them, she learns their secrets and rituals.
At some point in the book, they talk about "Sandy" who happens to be a school teacher. A little confusing? Yes. Myracle, doesn't even bother to go in depth about her role in the story, and only briefly touches on the subject.
My advice to you? Don't read this book. Although the story may seem intriguing at the beginning, it is anything but. It's extremely predictable and much like the mean girls story, except harsher, and a little creepier. Afterall, it does deal with witchcraft.
Hope this helped!

3.0 out of 5 stars Where's the rest of the book?, July 1, 2009

It's like this book got published before the author finished the ending. She's an entertaining writer, but the plot drops you off with no explanations. What's the deal with the cats? Why did Jane bring all of her dad's things with her? What's with Camille's about-face in the end?

I'm thinking there's a sequel on its way? Even so, the book should have been wrapped up in some coherent way.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Attempt, May 13, 2006

This review is from: Rhymes with Witches (Hardcover)

Rhymes with Witches is about a social outcast, Jane, who gets invited into the school royalty group called The Bitches. I found this book to be exactly like the rest of Lauren's books. Even though her books have a very shallow plot, you can't seem to put them down. And then once you get done with it you feel very dissatisfied and wondor why on earth you gave that book the time of day. One of the reasons I hate this book so much is because of the characters. The only character you're really supposed to like is Jane, and I found her very annoying and tiresome. I hated the ending as well. When Jane finally tries to do the right thing, she winds up having nothing but Phil, the only semi-enjoyable character in the whole book. I personally think this book sends the wrong message to readers, and I discourage anyone from buying it.
