A review by wrenl
Kind of a Big Deal by Shannon Hale
2.0
I made a mistake when I read the reviews for this book. After having finished it, though, I can see why people might give it 1-2 stars. Josie is whiny but in a way most teenagers are. I really enjoyed the hopping into books thing, even if I think she should have had less control over it.
I really admired her character development even if it didn’t make much sense. What got her to change exactly? And the supernatural elements kind of came out of left field.
And the ending? Well, I’m not sure what the book is trying to say. It’s great that she’s open to new opportunities, but why bring in Justin? Is the moral of the story about boys? I’m so confused!
