review 1: I had to write this reveiw a few days after reading it and let the story line sink in. Any book that has a family with problems going to Disney World is going to be a bit difficult for me to enjoy because I know of so many real-life situations of this occurring and I feel that parents use Disney World to camouflage family problems. I knew this part of the book was coming and I just didn't want to read it. After reading it and rereading parts of this 140 page book, and discussing the book with the author, the book is growing on me. It's one of those where I look back and think, "Why would the parents do that? Why won't they talk to Ryan better? Are the BLIND when it comes to Ben?" Many readers probably won't put as much thought into the book as I have. There were situati... moreons that I could relate to and then to read many of them so quickly in 140 pages, pretty much caught me off-guard in a negative way. Most readers will read this book and find it hilarious, as they should. Odd-balls like me will have a few hurdles to overcome to enjoy the story. I hope everyone else who reads this book truly enjoys it for what it is. (I received this book from a Good Reads Drawing.)
review 2: I received this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review.This book was not for me. I found it to be very long for its 150 pages and I couldn't wait to be done reading it. I just didn't see any point to the story. It just followed around a very weird family that was trying to pretend they were normal and were failing at it. I found that the family didn't really so anything, they drug the children to Disneyworld even though they didn't want to go. I found that crazy because who wouldn't want to go to Disneyworld. There was one giant secret that some members of the family were hiding, which I also found very strange that no one had found out the secret before hand. I did appreciate that this is a teens story of how their life was unfair, but I just didn't enjoy the way that it was done.I could not relate with any of the characters. I found Hannah to be a "goody, goody" who did whatever her parents wanted. She never talked back or acted out. She was more concerned with her grads and what university's to go to, then having any friends or going out and doing high school activities. Even her brothers didn't have any friends or would never go anywhere other then school. They were just strange people all around. Although I wasn't a fan of this book others might enjoy it. I would recommend this book to those who like reading contemporary novels and they can form their own opinion about this book. If the chance arose, I would still read other books by this author, I just didn't enjoy this one. less
