svgjen said: Not good. The writing was terrible and the message even worse. The fact that this book series is so popular is scary. Poorly written and full of grammatical mishaps, I would not want to see young people trying to model their writing after this. The worst, however, is the abusive, anti-woman/girl message that permeates the novel. Great for a critical thinking discussion with older students but that's about it. I'll admit, I found it hilarious due to the poor writing and scary "love story" it promotes but it's unintentional humour on the part of the author. I would suggest that any teacher or parent who sees young girls reading this have a very serious talk with them about abusive relationships and being a strong, independent young woman.
