Back In Black: An A-List Novel, #5
By Zoey Dean
Little Brown & Company, 2005
The
A-lister’s are back and having a more exciting time than ever.
When they go to Las Vegas for their senior trip things start to
come unraveled and secretes come unveiled, when they go the hypistist
too the stars and reveal some of there darkest secrets.
My personal favorite part of this novel has to be when; Parker picks
up the rich, but ditzy southern girl. He wants her money and nothing
more and it turns out he can act. Some of the parts make no sense
at first like Cammie going off for a mysterious visit with an old
friend, you think she’s cheating on Adam, but her thoughts
tell you other wise.
This
novel has an interesting plot line that keeps you wondering at every
turn. It leaves you wanting a bit more depth and less Hollywood.
Like for example Anna the smart gorgeous brainy girl, thinks about
guy the whole time she in Vegas and you start to wonder if that’s
all there is too her. Some things in the beginning seem thrown in
for no reason, and could be a little smoother, but they do come
together at the end. Like Dee, she’s strangely out of place
in the glittery, commercial world of Vegas and you start to wonder
what her purpose in the story is.
All
in all this novel has a good plot line but it is kind of mixed up
in the beginning, though it becomes untangled as the story unfolds.
I would not recommend this novel to any one who wanted to get away
from the superficial and earn greater depths by reading it. I would
recommend it to some one who was looking to get away from their
life and into a world of glamour, lies, secretes and half-told truths.
So in the end I very much enjoyed this book, but it is not for everyone.
