One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies by Sonya Sones (review in verse)

Stars: 5

Summary:My name is Ruby.

This book is about me.



It tells the deeply hideous story

of what happens when my mother dies

and I'm dragged three thousand miles away

from my gorgeous boyfriend, Ray,

to live in L.A. with my father,

who I've never even met

because he's such a scumbag that he

divorced my mom before I was born.



The only way I've ever even seen him

is in the movies,

since he's this mega-famous actor

who's been way too busy

trying to win Oscars

to even visit me once in fifteen years.


Everyone loves my father.
Everyone but me.





Review:
 
This review
 
is going to be in verse.
 
One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies
 
is the first book I read in verse
 
it, was a success.
 
 
Ruby
 
is sad, mad, confused, and most of all
 
lonely.
 
LA is
 
lonely.
 
Ruby Dooby wants to
 
go home.
 
She is
 
instead
 
stuck with the father that
 
in her eyes
 
abandoned her.
 
At first
 
I was worried that
 
a book in verse, would be hard to read.
 
That I wouldn't relate to the characters.
 
I was wrong.
 
I read the
 
whole book in one
 
sitting.
 
I loved reading about
 
Ruby in LA.
 
What happens
 
to her.
 
 
 
Huh,
 
writing verse is fun.
 
 
 
(OMG
 
try to write
 
a comment in verse!
 
Yup, I am
 
a total nerd.
 
And loving it.)
