Score:
Reed Brennan to escape from his house. In the monotony of their small village in the middle of middle America, where nothing ever happens, where he has lived all his life and where have to endure their mother addicted to self-medication. And what is the solution? Moving away from home and start a school year in a new environment. In a new city, a new school and new friends are totally different from it.
And thus Reed comes to Easton, one of the best U.S. schools, where children attend the best families (businessmen, ambassadors, senators, etc. . etc.) , which are totally different to her. And with that began his first adventure: fit into a world that is not yours, but begins to desire little by little.
Reed is a normal girl, pretty (but not too much), mediadamente intelligent, insecure, a tomboy and very introverted. Never has had a true friend and has always felt more comfortable with the guys. But he decides to change, decide to be a new Reed and face the new challenge of living in Easton.
The story is slight, the chapters are simple with titles that give you a comprehensive overview of what you will read. The book is told in first person, which leads directly to thoughts and desires of Reed, which are like those of any teenager, sometimes unpredictable, stupid others and governed entirely by hormones and the desire to feel belongs to a place.
But in this story not only Reed is the chief. There is another group of girls: The Billings. Girls most diabolical around the campus beautiful, rich, successful, intelligent and get everything they want regardless of boundaries. are the tip of the social pyramid and Reed wants Easton (at all costs) be like them. And I must say that when these girls powerpuff on the scene, things get more fun (or heavy, depending on how you look XD).
with Reed trying to do whatever it takes to be with the Billings and change your sad life, the Billings doing what they want (because they are Billings, and Billings = importance, duh) the story is entertaining and enjoyed very much . Obviously, there are some frustrating moments where you'd like to give a jolt to Reed for being sooo stupid, or uttering some decent insults nothing against Noelle, Ariana, Kiran and Taylor, the Powerpuff main leaders of the Billings.
But we must admit that without the evil daring of these four, the book would not be beaten. Reed is flat and often silly , but sometimes gives his moments of lucidity that makes you say: Well, girl!
But I am of those who love evil, so watch the action Billings has been what has led me to give the perfect score. So you're a history with which entertain and enjoy once again the superiority of popularity in American schools, this book is what you want. Furthermore, it is clear that as good teenagers' book, there are sooooo many cute guys and relationships.
Fresh, youthful, and a simple script, Private is a must read if you enjoyed the series as Gossip Girl.
