Review 10: Jinx by Meg Cabot

Title: Jinx

Author: Meg Cabot

Publisher: HarperTeen Publishers

Rating: 7/10

"The thing is, my luck has always been rotten. Just look at my name: Jean... "

The Lowdown:

Jean Honeybunch hates her name. Why couldn't she be named Janette? Or Jennifer? Or something other than plain old.... Jean.

Jean Honeybunch also is nicknamed Jinx, because when she was born, a huge supercell went throughout the country. After that, she has brought bad luck on her family ever since. After moving from the country to the bog, bad mean city, she learns about her past and her special, ahem, powers.

The Good:

A. The length. It was exactly the same size.

B. I loved the narration.

C. I also loved all the characters in the book, especially Jean's friends.

D. I loved the ending!

The Bad:

A. I didn't really like the plot all that much. I mean, it was so predictable and kind of stupid.

B. Meg's stories are getting old. There are only a few variables that you can have in every story.

C. Witches. SERIOUSLY!? What is this, Harry Potter?

The Consensus:

The book could have been better, but wasn't that bad. A predictable story, and I'm tired of Meg C. being "sidetracked" by other stories. Like seriously Meg, get a series and STICK WITH IT!!! :)
