My "to read" list is already about a mile long, but I still love reading book reviews to get ideas!

At the beginning of the story I was a bit confused. However, that is not much different from the Uglies series as well as Leviathan. After the beginning confusion and a bit of difficulty getting into the story, "So Yesterday" got very good. I was drawn into the story and I didn't want to stop. I even found myself delaying all of my responsibilities so that I could finish reading it before I had to return it to the library that day.<br /><br />It is a story about a boy that is a "cool hunter," one who looks for things that'll be the next big thing. Though there is mention of cell phones in there, it doesn't age the book at all. You could read this book for the next 30 years and still have it apply to young adults. This cool hunter comes across an event where his boss seems to be missing, with just her cell phone left behind. He ends up solving the case, but he also learns more about himself. He grows and develops as a character. It is a fun read. I don't want to give the story away too much since it is a mystery type, hence the reason for my vagueness.<br /><br />Enjoy! I don't think "So Yesterday" is as popular of a Scott Westerfeld book, but it is worth the check-out from the library.MeganRuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04487078604611256265noreply@blogger.com
