Book Review Time: AIRHEAD

Airhead II Pictures, Images and Photos 
TITLE: 'Airhead'
AUTHOR: Meg Cabot
PAGES: 340
SUMMARY: (Thanks to goodreads.com)Emerson Watts, 16 and female, loves playing video games, hanging out with her best friend, Christopher, and has made peace with her less-than-supermodel-esque looks. But when she's involved in a mysterious accident, she wakes up to find she's now in the body of...a supermodel. Who was behind this switch? What was the motive? And how can she get Christopher to realize she's still the same person inside?
RATING: B-



I personally felt this was a cute book. It has a good idea, and normally I really like Meg Cabot (my favorite book from her is 'Avalon High'), but I thought it fell short. I felt that the personal connection I made with Em in the beginning, was somewhat lost. I liked the idea behind it, but the execution in the details is what was lacking that spark I needed. I also felt that Christopher's character was a "barely-there" one. He was not a huge part of the book even though he is a huge part of Em's life. I borrowed 'Being Nikki' from a friend, so maybe it'll answer some questions. Overall, a cute book with charm, but nothing more!
