lucyllama 's review for:
Treasure Island!!!
by Sara Levine
I'm torn with this one. I don't think it is necessary for a protagonist to be likeable at all times; how boring would that be? Generally, the more broken the character the more I love them. However, there is usually something about the character to keep you hanging on- maybe a little charisma or remorse or... I don't know... a glimpse of humanity! There isn't much with this character...the parrot mimicking her tears is one time, maybe, when we see a little depth, but that's about it. The book is well written, though; the author certainly has a flair for language, so 2 stars for that and an extra star for the excellently drawn characters of Patty and her girlfriend, who see right through the narrator's shenanigans.
