Sno-Isle Mock Printz discussion

Can John Corey Whaley win again? I love a booktalk that starts with decapitation.

I'm going to keep my mouth shut until there's more conversation on this one...

Spill it Anne!

This is another one I really wanted to love, but just didn't find that compelling. I think the audience for this one is actually mid-20 people who can't let go of their teen years ;)

I have trouble remembering books very long after I've read them, but thinking back on this one I still hate it!

The premise of this book holds so much promise, but ultimately the main character is just an annoying stalker. Waaaay too much time spent on the "get the girlfriend back" plot line, to the point that he just seemed like a creep. Most everything else in the book annoyed me too.

Bah humbug! I didn't like his other book, either.

I agree with Anne. The premise was interesting, and the book did bring up a lot of issues I never would have thought about related to being brought back to life years later with a new body, but I was embarrassed for and annoyed by the main character in his relentless quest to ignore reality and make everyone else uncomfortable.

I've got this one hold. I'm really excited to read it.
