Welcome to Sap City!


This book is like Romeo and Juliet with a cute twist. in reality, if i really look at it from an author's perspective, it was pretty cute. the characters were developed instantly, and the sentinces drew me in. the prose was actually pretty good. aside from the sex, it was a good book.

yeah, it's got some sex in it. i mean, c'mon. it's about <i> chemistry </i> between the two most unlikely people. but whatever. it actually wasn't too bad.

though i could tell a lot about the author's morals. or lack therof.

the first paragraph in the book is: "Everyone knows I'm perfect. my life is perfect. my cloths are perfect. even my family is perfect. and although it's a complete lie, I've worked my butt off to keep up the appearance that I have it all." I mean, that pretty much develops a character instantly, doesn't it?

I'd have to go with these ratings:

storyline: 3/5
prose/sentences/grammar etc: 3.5-4ish/5
characters: 5/5

but again, sap city, people.
the weak points of this book:
the sex
the language
the sappy sappy sappy.

I realize this isn't my best review, but i'm trying to keep it honest here.

until next time,

This book can be a story on so many levels, I love it. Rosie goes for a wander through the museum. On the surface a basic story, but this can help a youngster get more familiar with a spider and find humour in it's actions. It can be a wonderful way to explore Chicago's Field Museum, the additional information at the end about Spiders serves those who really like tarantulas as well as those just wanting to learn a little more. Beautifully illustrated with rhyming prose this is a book to read, re-read and treasure.
