Book Review: Real Life #3 by Nancy Rue

I got Tournaments, Cocoa and One Wrong Move for Christmas -- and I've already finished it. I couldn't help it. You know how it goes -- "Oh, YAY, a new book. I'm gonna read it slowly so I won't be back with nothing to read." But if the book really is that good, you won't be able to. Unless you have really good self-control or something.

Anyway. One thing I love about the RL books is how, from page 1, you're thrust right into the life of the character -- in this case, Cassidy. (Or as Coach calls her, Brewster, which is her last name.) You know -- some books start at the bottom and then go up the 'hill' -- reach the climax point. With these books, it's more like up, down, middle, up, up, up... down...middle...up.

It's like you know something is about to happen. And that is what I consider to be a page-turning book -- for me, anyway. It's not boring. It's exciting. Fun. Interesting.

There's a clear description of all the characters -- although if you're like me, you tend to skim some description in books and you're left thinking -- "Wait, since when is her black and curly?" -- and you've already imagined her with blonde hair in piggy tails or something.


One thing I love in a book are those random thoughts or lines that make you smile. The ones where a laugh falls out of my mouth or my mouth just grows wider in appreciation for the humour of the character.

Cass's mum reminds me of Lily's mum -- in fact, in some ways Cassidy reminds me of Lily. There was one part where she was talking about 'gathering the details' -- at the very end, actually -- Passport to Paris, anyone? :) And as we know, Lil's mum is pretty cool.

Have any of you read this book? If you haven't, GO CHECK IT OUT!!!! You'll love it. And if you have read it, tell us what you  did and/or didn't like about it.
