ADULATION BY TIANA WILKINS

ANOTHER CINDERALLA STORY WITH A TWIST. A MUCH NEEDED TWIST. AS A READER ONE OF THE MOST OVER DONE STORIES OF ALL TIME WILL BE THAT OF CINDERELLA OR ANY VARIATION OF IT. THIS STORY IS ONE OF SUCH WITH A YOUNG HIGH SCHOOL GIRL CASSIE WHO LOSES HER FATHER ONLY TO BE RAISED BY HER "EVIL" STEPMOTHER WITH HER TWO DAUGHTERS. CASSIE IS FAILING ALGEBRA; HER MATH TEACHER'S NEPHEW IS A MATH WIZ WHO GOES TO THE LOCAL UNIVERISTY. HER TEACHER GETS HIM TO TUTOR OUR YOUNG CASSIE IN THE SUBJECT AND OMG THEY FALL FOR EACH OTHER. SHOCKER!!! ONE TWIST TO THE STORY, BUT HAS BEEN SEEN IS THAT OF HER STEPSISTERS CAUSE THEY ACTUALLY TURN OUT NOT TO EVIL. ONE OF HER STEP SISTERS IS THE SKINNY YOU GUESS PRETTY SINCE SHE IS SHALL WE SAY A TAD LOOSE AND IN THE BEGINING DOES NOT LIKE THE MAIN CHARACTER SO DOES NOT TREAT HER VERY WELL. THE OTHER IS OVER WEIGHT AND HAS LOW SELF-ESTEEM THAT IS ONLY MADE WORSE BY HER MOTHER AND SISTER SO SHE BEFRIENDS CASSIE. THE OTHER TWISTS WILL JUST HAVE TO BE FOUND OUT WHEN YOU READ THE NOVEL SINCE IT WOULD PROBABLY TOTALLY RIUN THE STORY IF I WAS TO TELL THEM SINCE IT IS TOWARDS THE END. THIS TWIST I WILL SAY FOR ME WAS A FIRST IN THE VARATIONS OF THE CINDERELLA STORIES, IT HAS A GRIMM FAIRYTALE FLAIR TO IT!

OVERALL THIS STORY WAS A ROLLERCOASTER FOR ME IN THAT THE FIRST 50 PAGES FLEW BY THEN THE NEXT 40 WERE REALLY SLOW. THEN NEXT 30 AGAIN WERE FAST PACED AND FULL OF EXCITEMENT AND PLOT TWISTS... THEN THE LAST OF THE BOOK WAS SLOW CAUSE IT WAS ALL "HAPPILY EVER AFTER THE END" TYPE STUFF. SO WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK? SURE IT IS ONLY 139 PAGES SO IT DID NOT TAKE ME LONG TO READ IT AND IT IS A SWEET LOVE STORY UNDERNEATH. THEN THE REVENGE CERTAIN CHARACTERS GET IS PRETTY SWEET TOO!

BUT THERE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT I FIND ANNOYING OR OFF TO ME IN A WAY, BUT OTHERS MAY NOT FOCUS ON THEM LIKE I DID...... SUCH AS THIS KID, CASSIE, IS IN HIGH SCHOOL NO MATTER IF SHE IS A SENIOR OR NOT SHE IS 17 AND THE "PRINCE CHARMING" TUTOR CHARACTER IS IN COLLEGE AND OVER 21. OTHER IS CASSIE WAS SUPPOSILY A VIRGIN, BUT SHE WAS ON BIRTH CONTROL... WHY? AS WELL AS THEY DO IT ON THEIR FIRST REAL DATE?!?!?! YEAH OKAY.... THAT'S ALL I WILL SPOIL FOR YOU LOL

THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE AT BARNES AND NOBLES AND AMAZON.COM IT COST RANGES AROUND $17.99 (WHICH FOR A PAPERBACK I DO FEEL IS A LITTLE STEEP).

SO HAPPY READING!!!!

P.S. TO THE AUTHOR TO ME THIS WOULD MAKE A COOL MOVIE!
