review 1: I was really disappointed with Dead Romantic. The reading group I run at school is taking part in the Booktrust book awards and when we read the blurbs of the novels last month, I thought this sounded like the best. My main issue with it came from the constant use of slang, which never felt very authentic to me and just made Camille sound incredibly dim. It really grated as I was reading (although maybe this is just a sign that I'm getting old? The kids at school definitely don't speak like Camille though...)
review 2: I thought this book was very different from what I normally read as it was about dead people and not the usual genre that I'd read the good thing about this book was that it had me gripped from the very beginning.This story was very different as
... moreit was about this girl called Camille who meets this mysterious girl called Zoe who she finds digging in a grave.Camille is enticed by her and dead things so as the story goes on they become friends.Camille finds out that Zoe brings dead things back to life with this serum that her father invented.The thing is is that Zoe wants to try it on a larger thing-a person.Theymadee a deal Camille gets to have the boyfriend that she's always wanted and Zoe gets to have her father back in some way (brain).They begin to collect body parts from different places until they have the perfect body.In the meantime Louis falls for Camille and then shd realises that 'sexy dead body' was not the man for her.Camille has more than she can ask for and Zoe has a friend and in some ways a father. less
