"I think I laughed when the knife whent in. At least, I made the motion, but blood came out of my mouth instead. I remember seeing the perfume bottles on the matelpiece as I fell back and, aside from the faint, somewhat implausable realization that I was dying, nothing else.
So, my friend told me to read this, due to the fact that the main character and narrator, Jane, reminded her of me. Funny enough, a lot of Jane's reactions and adventures are all things that I would probably do. Haha. I'm really glad that she recommended this, because it was really a great book. It's about Jane, the spunky, super-smart, albeit outcast, high school senior, Ally, Jane's needy, more-of-an-outcast best friend, a demon hiding the midst of their school, a dead boy, a deal with the devil, and evil cupcakes. Oh, and a plot thrown into all of that.
I really liked this because even at the parts with the most tension, Jane's mind had to think of something that could make anyone laugh; such as making plans to convince her sister that earth actually has a second moon, it's just made of glass, therefore you cannot see it. The characters weren't perfect, which is what I love in a book, because they had all of these little quirks and things that you could find unique to anyone one the street. The way it was written really got me, too, Johnson stitches together this odd story with all of these little, unbelievable things that make the story all the more believable.
Heh sounds funny and creepy at the same time. It sounds pretty good and might be up my ally..... but then again i never know what im gonna like :P
