how dreadful to say that! it is not mediocore.To those without a sense of direction.The art is perfect for this novel.the herione is cheeky and a self centered goth with a conscious.And rumor has it theres a sequel when shes in tokyo.just a rumor.

I read it last night finally, being unemployed gives me some free time, and I actually liked it. At least until the big sci-fi/horror thing popped out of nowhere.

I don’t mind that the character didn’t change her vision. I think today being true to yourself even if you do come off as a prickly at times mean loudmouth. Is just fine if that is who you are comfortable with being

Plain Janes wanted to be about something more, but it falls down in the execution, I think, Josh. And I don’t knock entertaining stories, well-told, like Re-Gifters. Glad to hear the next one is better.

I had the same problem with the straight outta nowhere plot twist at the end. I didn’t mind the Brit slang to American glossery in the back as these books are aimed at folks a little younger than we are. I was hoping this book would feel more like the Georgia Nicholson books by Louise Rennison but its just not that clever.

See, I thought “Plain Janes” was the best of the lot so far. I enjoyed “Re-Gifters” a lot, but in the end it was an extremely conventional teen girl story in terms of plot, character and resolution: just very told. While “Plain Janes” really seemed to me to be about something more.

But I also thought “Clubbing” was a complete misfire. If I hadn’t been getting paid to review it, I doubt I would have finished the thing.

Also, I’ve read “Good as Lily” and it’s excellent. Extremely clever and Jesse Hamm does some terrific cartooning.

Crap, I ordered Plain Janes and Clubbing, but didn’t get Re-Gifters!:)

I sort of wondered how Andi would do just writing something. I found his Buffy work poor when he only wrote it and this sounds like it took a similiar path. Perhaps he’s one of those who has to put his ideas to work himself rather than to others who may not be able to make them work as he does.

I *love* your Star Trek analogy for Minx, Johanna. You’re right, it bears out so far. Despite involving favorites of mine (Jim Rugg & Andi Watson), Plain Janes and Clubbing were, as you say, okay and disappointing in turn, but Re-Gifters was one of my favorite reads of the year.

Good As Lily was the one I was most anticipating, so hopefully the pattern will hold true… hmm… but which one comes after that? It’s not Kimmie66, is it? That one sounded like fun. :)
