(Also the second time, why I chose to read it again is beyond me.)<br /><br />This would have been an okay book with a fun ironic ending if the fake money was not Monopoly level phony. If I recall correctly, the money has a guy with a backwards baseball cap, his tongue out and various other markers that say, "THIS MONEY IS BOGUS!"<br /><br />Those bitches counted the money right? Buried it, dug it up, showed it to the skeezy boyfriend and never noticed? <br /><br />I can't feel bad for Sydney for being insane now. It is her own damn fault for - a)not noticing she got a cartoon in place of Grant and b) being unaware that her boyfriend and best friend had been screwing around behind her back.<br /><br />This is long and pretty intense for a Fear Street book. I swear I don't take this shit super serious.Adamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047632800446883420.post-80501044649891403112008-09-16T09:00:00.000-06:002008-09-16T09:00:00.000-06:00What is RL's issue with the poor vs rich thing?

At the end of the day, Reva Dalby's still a protagonist, after all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047632800446883420.post-44651740410118650502008-09-15T22:45:00.000-06:002008-09-15T22:45:00.000-06:00I told you this one was good!
