Hilarious. And refreshingly multicultural. And classic cars!

This humorous novel tells the story of Eunice "Bug" Smoot, an 18-year-old, fiesty girl who finds herself sitting beside the devil in her prized Cadillac. She discovers that her grandfather sold his soul in order to obtain it. I really enjoyed this book and regret not having read it earlier!

This was good but didn't quite meet my expectations since it was on ALA's list of great books. It was humorous but the stylizing of the book w/ pitchforks and such was actually better than the writing. Some of the humor felt forced and Bug the protagonist wasn't all that likable. The cursing was overly dramatic and may be cause for some challenging the title for YA readers. The bilingual aspect of the text and issues of racism and multiculturalism will appeal to all types of readers.

Lots of fun & heroine with lots of spunk and attitude who fights instead of laying down and giving up. What more could you want?
