Filthy Rich Boys by C.M. Stunich
3.0
I want to like this book, I really do, but I find it quite difficult to when there’s so many things wrong about.
The book burning was just bizarre. I don’t understand how Money got to upset about it (like, she cried???)Firstly, it’s handwritten, ain’t nobody gonna read that un-ironically. You can burn my favourite book in front of me (handwritten) and I wouldn’t bat an eye. Like so what, they payed for it, so, sorry Money they can do whatever they want with it (dog-ear it and all!). I understand Money has memories tied to it, but…you can legit buy that book anywhere. Secondly, TTOBAB is kinda boring, I guess, like there’s no story at all. And they all laughed like they actually did something? So sorry Tristan, you ain’t done shit.
Something strange for a change: the buildings. Burberry Prep is built around a chapel, but next to it is an ungodly sight; a monstrous twelve story building. Don’t forget, that the elevator opens up into the classrooms, so I just imagined a tall ass tube (which was sKIny heh) beside a church. Something ain’t addin’ up son.
These 15-year-olds are smoking, drinking, playing poker, gambling, getting tatted-up, having smexy times, yet nobody seems to care. Also, they may or may not be jacked up on steroids…specially Tristan, my god.
Not to mention, they all seem to have pRobLeMS?
oH nO!
Don’t even get me started on the hierarchy. Five out of the six ‘Idols’ are first years, 15-year-olds, freshmen! Let me tell you this in case you never stepped into a highschool, upperclassmen do not listen to their inferiors.
Now for the rich people speel. Just because rich people are rich doesn’t mean they have to give half their life savings to the poor family starving ‘cross the tracks. I won’t comment on that any further, but that certain topic brings in many other factors that people just don’t seem to understand. This type of commentary comes up in (nearly) every book that features a poor MC, and I’m honestly tired of it. Besides, nobody likes a charity case (I kid).
In case you’ve forgotten, Burberry and Money’s (and Zach’s) hometown is a “days drive” away from each other. So at the very least 13 hours (Lizzie’s school bla bla bla). So, you cannot tell me that these guys, who live on opposite sides of the country, know each other, and have BEEF with each other…
Speaking of, Zach. Apparently his family has enough money to send him to a private school, but the school he somehow ended up attending was had metal detectors and a police force on hand (Money’s words not mine). I’m sorry, no “rich” and “elite” parent would send their child to a school like that. “He’s private school material”, bull-fucking-shit.
And Malinda or whatever just happened to go to school with Money’s half-sister? I guess the author really needs to show that these people have connections.
But it’s all okay, because it’s fiction
