Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys by Kate BrianMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
A list... Because I am in a listy mood.
1) Plot in a sentence: Megan’s parents get a job overseas, she refuses to go, they let her stay with the McGowan’s, the McGowan’s are a family of 9, no girls (except the mom) all boys, Megan makes friends (and more than friends) and has an interesting experience altogether. Boy, that was a long sentence.
2) What I thought of the plot: 8/10. I thought it was an interesting idea, and in the end, I do think the author pulled it off.
3) Writing: 4/10. Okay, readable, thank god it was only told from one point of view (unlike some of her other books). But it wasn’t that great, I could read it and understand it and it felt teenagery enough, but I guess I just didn’t like it. But that’s my opinion.
4) The characters: 7/10. I could go on forever here, but I won’t. I liked how all the boys had different personality’s, and sure, the parents were a little stereotyped. But that was okay; it would have been a little odd, if the parents weren’t. I however did not like the main character. I found her whiny, annoying and I just couldn’t connect with her. I just didn’t like her. In saying that again, I repeat all the boys were great and that’s why I gave it a 7/10.
Because if it was just Megan, I would give her a 3/10.
5) Enjoy-ability: 7/10. Light, fluff, not great but okay. If your looking for something that fits that description. This is it!
Yep, no Michael Jackson though.
6) Overall interestingness: 8/10. It kept me reading, there were enough twists and turns to keep me interested. I read it all in one sitting.
I don’t know if I would recommend it to anyone so depending on how you took that I shall let you make a decision.
