Book Reviews of All-American Girl
Book Review: A hilarious and charming read!
Summary: 4 Stars
As my first Meg Cabot novel, I say, BRAVO, Cabot! I loved your creation of this zany redheaded wannabe goth girl. Cabot's portrayal of teenage drama had me snorting within the first few pages, and made me want to personally write her an e-mail to see if she'd be MY BFF 4EVA.
Despite the over-the-top OMG dramarama moments involving Samantha's family (including housekeeper Theresa), fight-or-flight emotions, and ridiculously silly concerns about her parents finding out she ditched art class yet saved the PRESIDENT'S LIFE, Cabot really knows how to write an entertaining novel. I can see why she's successfully sold approximately 12 zillion books.
And the Top Ten lists that are sprinkled throughout this novel? My WORD, if the lists in this book don't evoke an LOL, you might indeed be a robot. Speaking of Top Ten lists...
Top Ten Reasons Meg Cabot Writes Awesome Things in All-American Girl Which In Turn Make Me Want To Ask Her To Be My BFF 4EVA:
1) The protag, Samantha, is pro-girl-role models. ME TOO, SAM.
2) How hilariously illogical and naive Samantha can be. It is positively comical.
3) Manet, the dog whose name was switched from Monet because "Mo" sounded too much like "No."
4) Sam's obsession with Gwen Stefani.
5) THE LISTS THAT INSPIRE ME TO MAKE MINE OWN.
6) She's an entrepreneur (case in point: celebrity drawings) -- "Really, I was like my own little UN, doling out aid, in the form of highly realistic renderings of Freddie Prinze Jr., to the underprivileged."
7) Her UFO-conspiracy-obsessed little sister, Rebecca, and fashionista big sister, Lucy.
8) Sam's description of Mr. Uptown Girl, and when she's questioned by the Men Wearing Earpieces, her re-cap of the story.
9) FRISSON. Every reference to FRISSON is SHEER GOLD.
10) Have I mentioned the lists yet? Especially Top Ten Signs of Proof You Saved the President. Priceless!
