Review 18: Shadowland by Meg Cabot

Title: Shadowland
Author: Meg Cabot
Publisher: Avon Books
Rating: 8.5/10
"I am a pretty normal, everyday, American teenager girl. Except, of course, for the fact that I can talk to the dead."
The Lowdown:
Suze is a mediator- a person who helps ghosts resolve their business and go to heaven/hell/wherever they go. After moving from NYC to the beautiful shores of Cali., Suze joins a Catholic school and meets hot guys from all over. However, there is a ghost in the school who is extremely violent because of the tragedy that happened with her. Can Suze resolve her issues and also deal with the extremely handsome ghost occupying her bedroom AND dealing with her crazy family?
The Good:
A. I really enjoyed the speedy narration.
B. Quick read.
C. The idea was good, but it gets boring sometimes. If you read Meg like I do, her style can get boring at times, she usually has a "set pattern" that you can deduce from her books.
D. I really liked all the characters, especially the nicknames she gave for the characters.
The Bad:
A. Switching back and forth between the nickname and the actual name made it kind of confusing... for me at least.
B. Part of the book is unnecessary, and unrequired.
The Consensus:
-Chick lit, check.
-Fantastical element, check.
- Fun and interesting, check.
- Quick and breezy read, check.
If you value the qualities above, then grab this book RIGHT NOW!!! :)
