review 1: Height challenged freshman Sherman Mack loves the ladies. “Sometimes I think I might die of girls. Like one will get too close and I’ll just be over.” He blames this everlasting love of all female kind on his young mom, a burlesque dancer, who he worries “may be trying to make me gay…my mother is into glitter. This is very damaging for a developing male.” Still, “living with my mother and her dancing and dressing up…has been an education in the ways of womankind.” At his high school, a mysterious “Defiler” posts their picture on all the bathroom mirrors and that bothers him more than it might to the average teenage boy. So when his crush, Dini Trioli, looks like she may be in danger of becoming Defiled, Sherman creates “Mack Daddy Investigations,”... more his own detective operation, planning to expose the Defiler once and for all. When you get “Defiled” at his high school, it is basically a murder of the girls’ social life. I really enjoyed this book, because even though at our school we don’t get “Defiled” social lives of girls get ruined too and I really connected to the book! I love the authors writing style, also!
review 2: Normaly, I woulden't ever see myself reading a book like this. I'm not all in to the mystery type stories. The more I read the more I liked it though. That proves that you really can't judge a book by it's cover. I can't believe people would do such things to their friends, or even just girls in general. I would have never put up with that. Talk 'bout bulling. Defiling girls, never talking to them, beating them up. All because someone said to. less
