Great. So now I'm thinking I just wasted $8 on something I won't enjoy reading. Then Kasi asks if she could read it. I told her I would let her know after I finished reading it.
So now it's a few days later, and I am about 100 pages in.
Kasi will not read this book. Maybe in a few years when she is a little more, um, I don't even know. The thing that did it in for her...well, let's just say that the main character, Zoey, happens to find herself witnessing an act of, um, well, oral, yeah, you get it. There is no way in Hell that my 12 year old is reading that. Nope. Not going to happen. I am really, really glad I told her I had to read it first.
As far as the book goes, I will admit to being hooked, and I will most likely read the entire series. I already know about sex, so there's no shocker there for me.
Tell me, though. Have you read any of these, and if so, what did you think?
***I wrote this post two days ago, and saved it as a draft. Since then, I have finished the second book (which I bought yesterday) and am about a quarter of the way into the third....seriously, this is addicting!

Many, many, MANY moons ago, we had this issue with Harry Potter. I heard the adults all talking about it and that they were reading it (This was around book 3) and so I thought it was geared more for adults. Well, when Nick came home (grade 3) and said that they were reading it, I decided to read it first to check it out. I think more parents need to do that just to see what their kids are looking at.
Never heard of it...I don't they care what they dish out for the kids to read any more...terrible.
Glad you are checking it out though...hahahaaa...

Stacey ~ I don't mind reading the books before she does, and I am so glad that I did. I just didn't think i would get sucked in...lol!
Miss Donna ~ you are so right. I was shocked at what was written in a book geared towards young girls. i think this might become a constant thing, where i read books first. Then I can decide what is appropriate for her.
I'm glad you like the book after all. I am just starting to read again. Thanks for the suggestion :)
Michelle ~ I am really enjoying them....in fact, I am almost done with the third one!
Glad to know that your daughter hasn't been able to read the book. Its way too mature for her to have such books.
dheong ~ it is way too mature for her...I finished the second and third books in the series, too, and they, too, are geared towards a more mature audience.
