Jennifer's Body Paperback

by Audrey Nixon (Author)
4.2 out of 5 stars 27 ratings
Someone needed to put a stop payment on Jennifer Check.

The sign says Welcome to Devil's Kettle, Pop. 7,036. Come See What's Cookin'! No, seriously . . . that's what it says.

Some people find it hard to believe that a babe like Jennifer Check would associate with a dork like me, Needy Lesnicki. But we had history. We'd been the Wonder Twins since we were preverbal, and sandbox love never dies. Or at least that's what I thought.

But after that night in the woods, Jennifer was different. She looked different. And then the killings began. . . .

A lot of people ask me if I'm sorry I did it. I'm only sorry I didn't do it sooner.

    3.0 out of 5 stars An average-quality movie novel.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2011

    A curious aspect of the paperback-only novelization of "Jennifer's Body" is that it is 194 pages, yet I read it inside of one hour. The longest book of any significant length that I've ever finished in so small an amount of time. That's probably the most remarkable thing about it, as a matter of fact. Typically, a novelization of a video game or movie has greater detail and is more extensive than the original form. In this case, it's actually the other way around. Audrey Nixon, for some reason or another, decided to simplify the novel and format it in a way to make it more acceptable to a lower age level. Lower and mid teens, I guess, as opposed to upper teens. This, I feel, is the mistake that was made in the writing of this novel. Not a mistake. The mistake. It is never a good idea to have a film and its novel be meant for distinctly different audiences. People who saw the movie will be confused when they read the novel, and people who read the novel will, if they are even allowed, be rather rudely surprised when they see the movie.

    Not that the two bear no resemblance to one another, however. Jennifer Check still kills boys and eats them, and Needy Lesnicky still brings her down in the end. But its told in a simpler and less graphic format than the movie- once again, the apparent fact that each was intended for a notably different audience leaps readily to mind. In one notable case, however, the novel did manage to include something the movie did not- indications of the truth about the band Low Shoulder, and more than just what the movie already showed us about their self-serving deal with Satan. What the novel shows us, towards the beginning and towards the end, is not just that Low Shoulder are not very good guys- they are *cowards*. I liked the fact that the novel manages to make Low Shoulder even more repulsive than they are in the movie. So that it did well.

    Overall, this is more or less the events of the film "Jennifer's Body" in simplified, written form. I only recommend it if you really did like the movie, can find a copy at a low price, and don't open it up expecting too much. Meet those three requirements and you could certainly find worse ways to spend a few dollars.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2010
    This was a quick read, and for a YA book it was quit scary.
    It starts off with a girl named Needy, and she is in a looney-bin. She then goes on to explain how she got in there and how her best friend Jennifer died.
    I think my favorite part of the book was when Needy was explaining about her town, Devil's Kettle in the first chapter. She tells about a waterfall and how it opens up into a hole and disappears. They have tried throwing things down it and nothing comes back up. No one can explain why.
    I love the cover of the book a well. The locket represents Needy and Jennifer's friendship and they each wear one. On the front cover and before each chapter there is blood splatter, I think it fits this book perfectly.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Faithful to the movie, but lacking realism in dialogue
    Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2010

    I was eager to pick up the novelization of JENNIFER'S BODY after I found that one had been written. However, my excitement quickly dropped down a notch when I found out it was a young adult book, which immediately spelled dread. Much to my digress, I bought the book and read it within a few hours. While I am happy to say that it follows the movie to the T (and bridges events that didn't make sense in the movie,) the dialogue in the book was extremely unrealistic, particularly in regards to how Needy reacts to her boyfriend's eventual demise ('holy crap!' is not a proper phrase to use as your boyfriend is getting eaten alive.)

    I would have loved to see a more adult approach to this story. It was obviously more adult-driven just based on the character Amanda Seyfried played in the film, which makes it hard for me to understand why the author would dumb it down for a more 'teen-friendly' audience (though I can blame the publisher for this.)

    This is a fun book which can easily be read in a few hours. I might have enjoyed it more if I were a younger teen, but it isn't a bad book.

    I really enjoyed this book, it was a quick read and drew me in from the first page. The humor in the book kept me smirking and I truly enjoyed myself as I read it. The storyline was very intriguing, it was definitely out there, and I like that. With this type of book, you either love it or hate it, and well I obviously loved it. I also know they're making this book into a movie, and so far the trailer looks like they stuck to the writing. So, I can't wait to see it! It comes out on September 18, 2009, I recommend you read the book first and then see it come to life in the movie.

    Und da haben wir es, das Buch nach dem gleichnamigen Film!
    "Leider" nur in Englisch, aber das tut dem Spaß keinen Abbruch. Von Audrey Nixon nach dem Drehbuch von Diablo Cody verfasst, hält sich das Buch sehr nah an den Film (wenn es nicht sogar identisch ist^^), was man auch in jeder Zeile spürt. Der Charme und der bissige Unterton sind wundervoll in Szene gesetzt und beibehalten worden.
    Wer Spaß an dem Film hat wird das Buch lieben, dass man auch mit mittelmäßigen Englisch Kenntnissen gut verstehen und genießen kann. Außerdem gewährt es einem hier und da noch einen andere Sicht auf die Dinge, was manches etwas einleuchtender wirken lässt.
    Die Aufmachung ist sehr schön, vom Cover bis zu den Blutspritzern die sich über so manche Seite ziehen.

    Von der lese Zeit her würde ich durchschnittlich 1-3 Tage ansetzen, obwohl das natürlich bei jedem menschen unterschiedlich ist.^^

    5 von 5 Sterne, weil ich den Film liebe und das Buch ein muss für jeden Fan ist!

    I bought the book because I liked the film - and I usually figure that the book is almost always better than the film, right? Not the case at all. It seems like the author has just sat and watched the film/read the script and play-by-play jotted down events. Unimaginative. 3 stars because the story itself is awesome and the film has style ;)
