Teen Spirit is another in a line of films that have come out lately about the rocky road to stardom, and there was potential for it to be able to say something different enough that it could have stood beside its competition proudly, but it fails to even merit a comparison.

Really not my cuppa tea way too much teen drama and too predictable.

The cliches just kept on coming, although if the whole high school teen drama is your bag I did find the writing better then some I've not bothered to make it to the end of. Not much in the way of a mystery though.

Good book. I liked the whole diabetes/vampire cross reference. It was different. Definitely a new take on the typical teen vampire story.

graphic novel introducing Raven's origin story
‏I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review.

Teen Titans: Raven (Teen Titans #1) by Kami Garcia is a graphic novel with a story written by Kami Garcia and illustrated by Gabriel Picolo. Fans of YA may recognize Kami Garcia as a coauthor of the Beautiful Creatures series. Teen Titans: Raven is Garcia's first graphic novel.

Growing up I was a DC Comic fan but, after the introduction of the Marvel Avengers movies, especially Iron Man, I switched teams. However, you do not need to be a fan of Teen Titans, Raven, or DC Comics to appreciate the way in which Garcia and Picolo present Raven's origin story.

I thought the story was interesting and enjoyed the illustrations. Many reviews mention Raven's snarky attitude is missing from the story. I had not watched or read the Teen Titans and my niece was too young to understand attitude so I do not have a reference in which to compare Raven's story. Although enough reviews mention the lack of snarkiness I felt the need to mention it.

The 2nd book in the series, Teen Titans: Beast Boy (Teen Titans #2) will also be written by Kami Garcia and illustrated by Gabriel Picolo. It is scheduled to be released in 2020.
