Book Reviews of My So-Called Life Goes On
Book Review: A mockery of a great show!
Summary: 1 Stars
What's wrong with this book? Where to begin? The best place to begin would be to summarize what was right with the show. "My So-Called Life" touched its viewers with genuine emotion, clever dialogue, brilliant stories, and complex and sympathetic characters. The viewers genuinely cared about these people. This book, however, is a completely different story. There is no real emotion here at all. These characters are cardboard cut-outs of their counterparts from the show. The author has turned them into shallow, self-involved, yahoos. Angela, the introspective and deeply romantic star of the show, is reduced to simply being self-involved and often cruel. The story, such as it is, barely connects to the last episode of the series. We would have expected some emotional, dramatic confrontations in the aftermath of that episode. Don't look for them here. Gone also is Brian and Rickie's developing friendship. What we are left with is the sort of intrique that hasn't been interesting since high school study hall. The "plot" is about who-likes-who, who-slept-with-whom, who-fantasized-about-whom. All of this revolves around love triangles within love triangles which resemble an episode of "Melrose Place." Toward the end, the book degenerates. Give this one a miss!
