lyderature 's review for:
The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks
by E. Lockhart
Mmm, the political commentary in this was spot-on.
All of the underlying messages in this novel — that we need not blindly accept the double standards put on women in this society; that humor and parody, rather than being tactless, can sometimes be the best way to bring about social change; that we so easily dismiss people sometimes because of their appearance; that we constantly underestimate the power of the human mind and settle for less — were so good.
It was witty.
It was clever.
And the best part?
E. Lockhart used this wit to make a statement.
"She will not be simple and sweet. She will not be what people tell her she should be. The Bunny Rabbit is dead."
Amen.
