A very quick read which kept me guessing. I never even suspected who Madison's hacker was, which was surprising!

This book was just okay and I basically ordered it for a quick read at work. Someone hacked the main girl's online profile (a lot like facebook) while she was on vacation and she is dealing with the consequences and trying to figure out who did it throughout the book.

When you read the back of the book you think it's going to be better than it was but this book was not one of my favorite reads. To me it seemed like a high school student wrote it. It was hard to read and it was more predictable than I anticipated.

Anyone else surprised that Ruth, Madison's best friend, was one of the people that hacked her? I was. I was like, Ruth, why?! But I kind of understand why too...

This book didn't knock my socks off. I think the whole solution to having one's friendverse site hacked would be to delete it. Or is that just me? Despite this, I think it had an interesting message about dissing people behind their backs. The hackers (of which I guessed very, very early) parroted Madison's own comments about people on her myspace-like site while she was on vacation. So while she had been hacked, she couldn't really defend heself against the comments. An interesting predicament indeed.
The formatting throughout is very interesting as it shows Madison's actual profile page including the changing top 8 friends, comments and so on. This got a little old after awhile as the msn's were also included in the text. I am not against their inclusion but I have a problem when they are pretty pravalent in a novel. What I really did enjoy was the great songs and quotes listed at the start of each chapter. One of my student's (grade 8) read this book and really enjoyed it so maybe I am just being old and jaded? Or maybe it's just something to read

this was actually pretty cute, with a nice "this is relative to NOW" kind of feel. It's light and good for those type of readers that don't read too often (or too deep) stuff!

this book is a nice and light read. i love how her actual profile was put into the book as well. i kept trying to figure out who hacked her and kinda figured it out but still enjoyed it. kinda crazy how everyone had motive tho so it made u think.

This is a timely subject -- Madison comes home from a two-week spring break trip to the Galapagos Islands to find that her "friendverse" (aka facebook) profile has been hacked. The hacker has portrayed her as a partying, promiscuous backstabber, who spills secrets entrusted to Madison about her friends. Needless to say, her friends are NOT pleased. Luckily, her closest girlfriends accept her explanation readily, and vow to help her uncover the hacker. This is a fun mystery, told partially in 'staus updates' and text messages, and while some of the plot twists I could see coming a mile away, the ultimate ending I did not.
