review 1: This book was really well written. I like how the author incorporates teenage love and the ridiculousness things that a teenager will do to talk to the person they love. "Freak Magnet" was quite humorous. I recommend this book to someone looking for a book to make them smile. The title fits this story so much, it's unbelievable. From Charlie, "the freak" to Gloria, "the freak magnet", I fell in love with the characters. They we're all so realistic. The author uses good description to make you imagine everything that is happening!
review 2: Freak Magnet is a story of a young man who sees himself as a misfit, devoid of social skills with very little hope of ever gaining them -- the Freak -- and a young woman, who seems to draw the attention of people but who only
... more wants to push them, all of them, away -- the Magnet. When their worlds collide, his in-your-face enthusiasm crashes right into her prickly demands to be left alone. Will they ever see past their own caricatures of themselves and each other? If they face the problems in their own lives, perhaps they can begin to deal with them together. This is the story of their struggle to connect. It is told with sweetness and the author's clear affection for the characters he's created. While I wouldn't say the book is incredibly memorable, it's a fine story, well told and likely to be appreciated by teens both male and female. less
