Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. i love insane toxic lesbionic cheerleader media and i had fun! everybody remember to thank god i didn't read this when i was in high school or it would've been my whole personality ( ) I apparently need a shelf for things I read because it turns out that I need more books than I can carry for two weeks in Europe and there's no English language bookstores in the Swiss Alps and my library app limits what I can download internationally. This book is utter crap. Complete and utter crap. Paper thin characters. The least mysterious mystery. I'm not totally sure Megan Abbott was ever a teenage girl, but, wow, that is NOT what it's like. Also, it reads super slowly. I seriously considered DNF'ing it despite having literally no reading alternative. Not really any redeeming features. I loved this book in so many different ways; the ways the girls were described as "untouchable" as cheerleaders (who doesn't think that in the microcosm of high school) and the wonderfully descriptive writing of Abbott--such as the "squall of a blow dryer" ---sounds so much better than "after I blow dried my hair", don'tcha think? Loved the way her teen characters talked to each other. Loved the way Beth was so intense and changeable. Loved the plot and how I never saw the ending coming. If I had read this in high school, I would have yearned to be like these girl, so cool, so alive...so dangerous and full of mayhem.
A crime novel about a team of high school cheerleaders narrated by a member of the team? You think it sounds like something for the Seventeen crowd? Think again. In her previous four novels, Abbott has been expert at establishing dark but authentic moods in milieus foreign to most readers. With Dare Me, tensions among the cheerleading crowd lead to murder. Though little mystery surrounds the crime, the world of these adolescent queens —“air thick with Biofreeze and Tiger Balm and sugared coconut of tawny body sprays” — is creepily fascinating.
