The Mystery of Melissa's First Date

Rating:
Summary: Predictible
Review: Mystery of Melissa's First Date was very predictible. Although the author did manage to crasp the lingo of the teenagers, the storyline has been told and retold many times in the form of vampires. This foe did not suck the blood from his victims but did take vital parts from "pretty young girls".
I enjoyed the humor and detective skills on the Oriental teenager and can see her being a big part of the next book in the series.

Summary: Realistic
Review: One of the things I liked about The Mystery of Melissa's First Date is that it is realistic as far as the real aspects of the story go. I am a 14 year old girl and I can relate to the things that were spoken in this book. I can see girls saying and doing the things that these characters do. The story keeps you guessing right up to the end about what is going to happen to Melissa. I read a lot and have told several of my friends about it. They are going to order it too. I think this story would make a great movie. I'd love to go see it - maybe on my first date!

Review: Three of my friends, two are 11, one is 12 and I am 12, play out the characters in this book. We enjoy becoming May or Melissa and pretending to go through the day "in character." It is lots of fun. But we are disappointed that the second installment of this series has not yet been published. The four of us immensely enjoyed this book and think that other girls our ages will also. It is a fun and scary book. I also think it should be in the cinema.
