Synopsis.
What does a girl when the shoe fits but I do not want to use?
Jess Parker, aged sixteen and has always felt how does not fit. So when you receive an invitation to join the Cinderella Society, a secret society of the most popular girls in school, is like something out of a fairy tale. Carried away to the magical world of transformation of Cindys, and catching the attention of Prince Charming, Jess feels that at last found the opportunity to engage.
Then the Wickeds-led by the arch-enemy of Jesus, begin to take the girls look innocent as he declared war on the Cindys, and Jess discovers that Cindy be a transformation means more than appearance . It has become, without knowing, part of the battle for centuries of good versus evil, and now commanded Cindys Jess need to complete a mission that could change everything.
Overwhelmed, Jess wonders if the Cinderella Society made a mistake in electing. Is it a coincidence that her boyfriend does not want to be seen with her in public? Is your new glamorous secret life he really wants, or will be risking his own happy ending in order to meet the expectations of their new sisters?
Opinion.
I liked this book enough. Not only is fresh and easy to read, but leaves a very strong moral message (though very direct, maybe too much) to be yourself and learn to use your "girl power" in a productive way for you and your future.
Although the story in parts is a little slow (especially at the beginning) is easy to follow and it is sentence: the beginning is almost all about morality and self-improvement, but as the story progresses, the plot becomes increasingly interesting intrigue, espionage, global associations fighting against each other in a fight in disguise ... fascinating. Besides the author's style is fresh and direct (perfect for teenagers).
characters do well, maybe not as fast as should be expected (growth begins to show after the middle del libro) pero lo hacen bien dentro de todo (y tomando en cuenta que no es una historia terminada, sino que aún le falta la segunda parte). Esperemos que la continuación mejore en este aspecto y nos muestre no solo el inicio de la evolución, sino el desarrollo y descenlace de la misma. Será interesante.
No es dificil identificarse con el personaje principal (cualquiera que halla sentido que no encaja en algun lugar podrá hacerlo) pero es algo... molesto hasta cierto punto ya que tiende a quejarse continuamente y a negarse a si misma el proceso de madurar (es como si tuviera voluntad propia, contraria a la autora) Pasa por situaciones de madurez, la trama le pone enfrente no una sino varias de esas conversaciones where people tend to realize how wrong they have their point of view and change it .. But Jess Parks, no, she regresa your complaining attitude of the previous scene ... Infuriating!. Detail in paticular that I did not like.
The cover is striking, but, admittedly, does not say much about the story itself. Could be improved (which gives me a wicked idea then tell them xD).
As always, the villains are the best (although I almost feel sorry to say this book, because the girl's positive attitude is something I'm all in favor). True, they are abusive and evil, but the psychological background tends to be more Interestingly, the more tangled mental clutter, the power exercised is greater, and are giving headaches to the good natured. (Yes, I love the villains in general xD). only bad thing about this villain in particular is that it is a girl. Sometimes she takes the role of spoiled and / or hurt and sometimes the role of villainous superpower. Goes with the context, but does voluble and counterattack. In all happen, but more than anything else, by the context.
Even "Guapito-of-the-story" has an interesting background, not your typical cute cute handsome, but there comes a little further : falls, fears, mistakes, is hurt, ask forgiveness, you xD interesting family ... in general is a good looking guy.
In short, I liked the book to dry. Neither me nor my displeasure loved nigún time. Even I found it quite useful as a handbook for raising the self esteem of adolescent problems. (I think mainly because of that and because of my profession, I'd be more tempted to buy it for me). But as the novel did not quite fill the eye. Maybe if I was about 5 or 6 years younger would find more compelling, or perhaps the prelude to the real adventure (which would not surprise me at all.) Wait for the second installment of this author, wishing with all my heart the offspring of history that was cooked in the first book becomes pumpkin-carriage.
I give a four
with potential.
