Book Reviews of The Perfect Man

Book Review: A Good Book
Summary: 5 Stars

In The Perfect Man by Jenny Markas, the main characters are Holly Hamilton, Jean Hamilton, Zoey Hamilton, Amy Pearl, and Adam Forrest. One of the main events is when Holly Jean and Zoey move to Los Angeles. Another important part of the story is when Holly writes a love letter. Later, Holly talks to Ben about Jean and they meet at her bakery. I wanted to read the book because the movie came out and after I read I want to see the movie and compare them. I think teenage and pre-teenage girls would enjoy this book because it is about a girl trying to find her perfect man. The theme is to find who the perfect man is.

In my opinion I liked the story idea and what the writer was trying to tell. Holly's computer name is "Username- girl on the move." That meant that they moved a lot (page 21). Holly's mom had lots of problems. An example is "Maybe I can't raise my child because I am a child," said Jean. This shows she is having trouble with her daughter. Holly didn't like who her mom dated. For example, "His stupid car is louder than a jumbo jet," Holly said when her mom went out with Lenny. Those were all good parts of the book. But, I didn't like some parts of the book because it failed to tell details like what a person looked like. When Holly met Adam Forrest, it didn't tell what he looked like. I can understand parts of a character's personality, but I can't picture them. "That's my seat ,"Adam said to Holly (page 29). "I don't like sitting up front." That is an example of how it failed to tell details.

In conclusion, I think that the book was probably the second best book I've ever read.
I really enjoyed reading it and thought it was funny . I do recommend this book. I recommend this book because it's kind of like a fairy tale. Also I know that some people move a lot and they can definitely relate to the story.
