Lockhart is my favorite author. She appeals to my sense of humor, and she writes very light, but thought-provoking reading that I think about long after I'm done reading. Thanks for putting her on the list! :-) E. Lockhart is my favorite author.

I love this book. I read it so fast it was like I'd down a pint of Ben & Jerry's in one sitting and still didn't know what hit me. So good! But anyway, did you notice that in this book Frankie fights against the penopticon (a term I'd heard floating around for ages, but finally "got" thanks to this book) that isn't really there, and in The Hunger Games, Katniss gets to experience a real live kind of penopitcon experience. So are penopticons literal or figurative? Okay, that's my moment of strange and over-deep literary connection for everyone to think on. Thanks for listening.

It makes you feel more intelligent just reading it... and shows a new kind of feminine figure in teen literature.

I read recently on Lockhhart's blog that Frankie was out and I hadn't blogged it yet, so I knew I had to get cracking! Enjoy, it's a good one.

Now I'm desperate for this and everything else E. Lockhart has written. I can't decide if it's a blessing or a curse that the more I read, the more there seems to be to read. It's made "The List"!
