Wow! Where do I start?I'm a HUGE fan of Simone Elkeles, anyone who knows me personally can attest to the fact that many, MANY of my stauts updates include quotes from her books. While many of her other books are humorous, they also take us to a deeper, darker place and teach so many life lessons that I seriously think they should be required reading for all teens in, say, 8th grade english.The Ruined series, however, not only teaches lessons but cranks that humor up about 12 levels. This woman,I really enjoyed reading this series. Though it took me a while to get through it, all the books were great. I loved reading about Amy and learning about her life.In the first book, How to Ruin a Summer Vacation, Amy is dragged to Israel with her non-existent father and there she began to find herself. I loved Amy not discovering who she is but finding her place in this world. All the time she felt lost and insecure. She is one heck of a feisty person. I loved her nicknames for the people for
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! She needs a final book summing it up about how Amy finishes senior year to were she marries Avi and have kids and what not i just loved Ruined and cant stop thinking about what will happen next! PLEASE WRITE ANOTHER!
This review can be found at ReadingAfterMidnight.comRATING: 3.5-4 stars I don't really have this edition but since I read all books together (in 1 day and a bit I must add), my review got all mixed-up and maybe this is the place to post it. 1. FIRST BOOK When I started reading this series I didn't know the 2nd and 3rd were continuing the story form the 1st book (I just assumed this after reading PC series). So I was just enjoying this sweet love story, with lots of funny moments and at the end
A light-hearted angst-free romance read.The thing that I usually hate about YA romance is that they are FULL of angst. And I can't stand angst. Really, I was a teenager once, and I work with teenagers every day... very rarely do I see students with the amount of anguish in their lives that you find in YA novels. I like to read books that make me happy, not depressed!I have read every book by Simone Elkeles. I have enjoyed all of her books; however, this was my least favorite. I agree with
This had three books in one. I'm going to rate them separately. Amy started out flawed, but quirky and lovable. I knew there were 3 books so I was expecting emotional growth, maturity, character development...didn't happen by book 3. She was actually even more immature, selfish, vacuous, ridiculous, and annoying in book 3 than in book 1! I had a hard time understanding why Avi still loved her by the end. She lied, was inconsistent, and obnoxious. I know it's a high school book, but I was wanting
I enjoyed this series of books because I loved the main character, Amy, plus when the story took place in Israel, It was interesting. Amy's got moxie! Wish I had her confidence when I was that age. And she is hilarious! I also loved Amy's spirituality. You don't really get any religion in mainstream literature, unless it's done with a mocking tone. Fun read! I'm sad my time with Amy and Avi is over.
