Book Review of Monster High (Monster High, Bk 1)

Monster High (Monster High, Bk 1)
reviewed on


I was thinking this would be a book for younger readers, but it reads more like Stephenie Meyer meets Sophie Kinsella. The surface message is, "Be comfortable being your Real self!" But with all the couture brand-name dropping, the message falls rather flat. Harrison goes into excruciating detail about the color and label of every piece of clothing or drop of makeup the girls are wearing. More like a very long Teen Vogue advertisement insert... complete with high fashion, teen angst,secret lives, and oh-- did I mention monsters? There are some pretty cool monsters.
