Ilustration Toward Books Epic Fail

At Coral Tree Prep in Los Angeles, who your parents are can make or break you. Case in point: - As the son of Hollywood royalty, Derek Edwards is pretty much prince of the school--not that he deigns to acknowledge many of his loyal subjects. - As the daughter of the new principal, Elise Benton isn't exactly on everyone's must-sit-next-to-at-lunch list. When Elise's beautiful sister catches the eye of the prince's best friend, Elise gets to spend a lot of time with Derek, making her the envy of every girl on campus. Except she refuses to fall for any of his rare smiles and instead warms up to his enemy, the surprisingly charming social outcast Webster Grant. But in this hilarious tale of fitting in and flirting, not all snubs are undeserved, not all celebrity brats are bratty, and pride and prejudice can get in the way of true love for only so long.

Evaluate Regarding Books Epic Fail

I have a love/hate relationship with retellings. On one hand I want it to be close enough to the original that I can see the parallelism. On the other I want it to be different enough that it's its own story. Because if I wanted to read the original, then I would just do that.Given all that, I actually liked Epic Fail. I liked how the author wasn't afraid to change stuff in order to give the story a contemporary feel. She axed one of the sisters, changed names and scenes... and I thought it

I am tempted to create a shelf called the gobblers. Gobblers are books that you soak up in one sitting and are usually oodles of fun. I used to be a gobbler fanatic. Picking up these types of books frequently and reading them like candy. I miss those days sometimes...Anyways this particular story centers on Elise Benton. She's moved to a L.A. with her family and the changes of course are taking some time. Elise is going to a prep school where everyone knows a movie star, and her mother is the

Epic Fail... to me this book was an epic fail indeed. I did not like this book. The characters were boring. The storyline went all over the place. At time, I almost wished we could read more about Juliana and Chase because Elise and Derek were so boring. There's just too many things I didn't like in this book. How the parents were so controling and old fashion. For example, the girls all have a cell phone but they can't use it at school or at home!?!? So I guess that gives them the ride back

I seem to be on a streak here. Got some free time and decided why not go for light reads. No over thinking and complicating things.Just plain entertainment. Guess what?? I got to read one of my favorites in a modern package. If you check out the synopsis you will know which book I am talking about. It is none other than "Pride and Prejudice". Now I knew the premise resembled the book when I decided to start it but was not sure to what extent it would go. After reading the book I must say this

I want to make an intelligent review about this book but I can't find anything else to say except that this book is... CUTE. Sort of.It's the kind of book you read without having to think much about it. It's entertaining and if you've read Pride and Prejudice, then you can pretty much get the gist of the story.There is nothing spectacular here and I find the writing too juvenile, which, I conclude isn't really a bad thing because it's obviously marketed towards the younger audience. I cannot

3.5 starsCute.Not mind-blowing, but it was a really cute young adult retelling of Austin's Pride and Prejudice.Dereck's (Darcy) parents are famous Hollywood actors, and he's learned to be cautious around people.Naturally, he comes off looking snobby...Elise's (Elizabeth) mother is the new prep-school principal, and her father is a teacher. Both are embarrassingly strict/wacky...The plot sticks relatively close to P&P, but it still goes off on its own here and there. Only one sister is

Epic Fail = Epic FailI didn't like the story at all. Nah. An elite school filled with rich spoiled bastards and bitches. The main characters are pretty unlikable (count the other characters as well. Whiny damn sisters.). Elise is too whiny and Derek is an arrogant jerk. I'm so annoyed with these two and they are not cute. They are both boring in my opinion. This book is just plain boring.
