Top 8 by Katie Finn

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
