Paisley Hanover

review 1: In and of itself, this is a cute story, particularly with the somewhat hapless, ditzy Paisley who you can't help but like...the text speak is annoying to those of us above the tween age. But I have to say not only is there nothing new here, but I think we as a society are really in danger of creating yet another type of reverse discrimination. Books and movie about bullying continue to take the same old stance...creating a class warfare between the have and have nots. It puts me in mind of an issue of Seventeen I read some years back, where an article was telling girls not to bother to talk to or be friendly with pretty girls because we have no personality. I took offense to that then and I take offense to the barrage of materials directed at teens consistently putting do... morewn the good looking and successful. In yet another failed liberal utopian idea, we are now putting down one group in order to raise the self esteem of another. Seemingly innocuous books like this are a part of it,although that is most likely not the author's intention.
review 2: OMG, I loved this book! At first when I picked it up I thought to myself that I wasn't going to get though this too quickly and the cover was cute. Little did I know the Un-Amazingness of this book. 'Un' being a good thing.Paisley Hanover in the beginning of the story has a plan to join year book but after a very funny and random slip up she has no choice but to join the drama club which are filled with probably the most interesting characters in the whole series. Paisley finds out that she's actually beginning to like drama and the friends she's making. But in the process she's noticing that her friends are turning into popular clones and hardly every spending time with her. She then begins to question the meaning and purpose of 'Being Popular' and thus Miss Un.Miss Un is her secret identity so that she can expresses herself. Little does she know that her powerful message is hitting home to a lot of the students and some are out to expose her. This book is funny, clever, romantic, honest, quirky, inspiring, and Un-believeable. This book was so fantastic that I wish every high school student would read it. And every adult. Paisley deals with friends, boys, school, family and so much more that its hard not to like her. I say read this book and enjoy. less
