Foxfire: Confessions of a Girl Gang
reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


Ok ok ok, I admit it. I only read this book because of the movie with Angelina Jolie (before she was a super mega star, and cooler). Well, I was in for a surprise. I had to force my eyes from left the whole time, it seems. Some parts were intriguing but the writing is sometimes seamless and other times -usually without warning- jagged and confusing. Subjects jump around with no logical order and then chapters fly by full of violence and devious plots. I think the only reason I was able to choke this read down, was I knew -KNEW- that all this bad girl gang stuff: drugs, violence, etc would eventually lead to sex, right? Nope! Total let down.

First time EVER that a movie was better than the book.
