Binding: HardcoverEAN: 9780061253102 ISBN: 0061253103 Label: HarperTeen Manufacturer: HarperTeen Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 304 Publication Date: May 01, 2007 Publisher: HarperTeen Reading Level: Young Adult Release Date: April 24, 2007 Studio: HarperTeen Editorial Review: Product Description: In this exciting collection, bestselling authors Meg Cabot (How to Be Popular), Kim Harrison (A Fistful of Charms), Michele Jaffe (Bad Kitty), Stephenie Meyer (Twilight), and Lauren Myracle (ttyl) take bad prom nights to a whole new level—a paranormally bad level. Wardrobe malfunctions and two left feet don't hold a candle to discovering your date is the Grim Reaper—and he isn't here to tell you how hot you look. From angels fighting demons to a creepy take on getting what you wish for, these five stories will entertain better than any DJ in a bad tux. No corsage or limo rental necessary. Just good, scary fun. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - DisappointingBesides the fact that most of the stories have some kind of "open endings" (which means that they probably just run out of pages and had to end the story wherever they were typing at that moment), I only liked the last two stories, Michele Jaffe's one made me laugh out loud, and the Stephenie Meyer's one was good too. The rest was poor written in my opinion. Rating:  - Fun Supernatural Prom Stories With Too Many Loose EndsReviewed by Jocelyn Pearce on 07/13/2008 These are not your typical prom nights. Each of the five authors has written a spooky, supernatural story about Prom. Some great authors are included in this collection, and it's certainly worth reading! The stories include a range of supernatural characters, from vampires to demons to fortune-tellers, and one is even based on a work by Edgar Allen Poe. They're all absorbing and interesting. So much so, in fact, that it would ... Read More Rating: - prom nightThis book was a real let down. It was boring and the endings were a not very well written. Rating:  - Entertaining but not greatIt is what it is, an anthology of short stories. With that being said, I really enjoyed Stephenie Meyer's story "Hell on Earth." It was an interesting concept; angels, highschool deamons, and mischief galore. The only story that I wasn't to fond of was Meg Cabot's "The Exterminator's Daughter." It seemed alittle like Buffy the Vampire slayer, a concept that is slightly overdone. Maybe it's just me but I once read an article about Meg Cabot and how she didn't like the Twilight series, calling them antifeminist. ... Read More Rating: - It was pretty good...Well, I'm not really familiar with any of these authors beside Stephenie Meyer (and I love her - I'm addicted to the Twilight saga). I mean, I've heard of most of these authors from somewhere or another, but I've never read anything by them before. That being said, I might be a little biased towards Stephenie...just a little though. The book, over all, was pretty good. I wasn't blown away. And like some other people have said, the stories were all really open-ended. So, here are my individual review for each ... Read More |
