Product Description

Product Description
It's the first day of the rest of Charlotte's life. She isn't going to be invisible anymore. And she's not going to stop at just getting noticed, she's determined that she'll be envied! Much to Charlotte's surprise her plan actually seems to be working: Petula, the most popular girl at school has finally acknowledged her existence and her lab partner for the rest of the term is none other than Damen Dylan, school heart-throb and object of Charlotte's desire. It's only a matter of time before she's accepted into their elite circle...that is until, in her excitement, Charlotte chokes to death on a gummy bear.

So, ok, it's the first day of the rest of Charlotte's death - why should that change her plans?

3.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous book, contents don't do justice to cover, 9 Sep 2008
By K. Rose "Kirstin Rose" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I first spotted this book in Borders, the sheer beauty of it caught me. It's a lovely book to handle, really beautifully made. It has been well thought out, and it's a delight to flick through. However, the same delight can't be said for reading it.

The story is shallow. From reading the synopsis, this was apparent from the outset, but while I expected a character who was shallow in what she did, I did not expect such a shallow, cardboard cut-out character. Really, I don't care about the character. It would be better if she were dead and quiet.

I had high hopes for this novel, I've struggled to finish it. It was enjoyable in places, but I wanted so much more. The packaging was outstanding, and perhaps that was the problem - as the story itself was not.

But don't get me wrong, the story is readable, and enjoyable on it's own terms. It's an OK way to sit through a train journey or rainy day, but I wouldn't make a point of rushing to buy it or read it, perhaps wait for a paperback version, or pick it up cheap in a sale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Utterly brilliant - do not miss out!, 6 Aug 2008
This book is brilliant! Heartfelt, funny and dark it will appeal to anyone who has felt invisible at some point in their lives! Make sure you get the hardback which is just the most stunning thing of beauty ever - it's even printed with pink inside. Wow!

5.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too, 5 Aug 2008
By TeensReadToo "Eat. Drink. Read. Be Merrier." (All Over the US & Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Ghostgirl Bk1 (Hardcover)
"Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
And if I should die before I awake,
I pray the popular attend my wake."

This is the year for Charlotte Usher. The year that she's finally going to be noticed. She's finally going to have what she's always wanted: to be a popular girl and fit in with the head cheerleader in the school, Petula Kensington. She feels that the first day of school will be the start of her new life. She'll finally have the attention of the most popular guy in school, Damen. Who is, of course, Petula's boyfriend.

In a way she does start a new life. Although it's actually her afterlife. Poor Charlotte chokes on a red gummy bear just before she leaves her first period physics class and dies. Her hopes of starting over fresh and finally being noticed for once are all crushed in an instant. Especially when she finds out that she still has to graduate even though she's dead! There's a whole class of students from her school who have died and are still attending classes there.

Charlotte isn't giving up, though. She's still determined to win over Damen. And with the help of Scarlet Kensington (Petula's younger sister) she's sure she'll be able to do it. Scarlet can actually see Charlotte and Charlotte isn't about to let that fact go to waste. She figures she can hang out in Scarlet's body and get through to Damen that way. But her new dead classmates aren't liking Charlotte's plans too much and are making it incredibly hard for her to get anything done. Plus, the more time Scarlet spends time with Damen (when Charlotte isn't in her body, that is) the more Scarlet is starting to like Damen herself.

Charlotte is determined to be noticed. She thinks that if she can just get noticed and be popular that she'll finally move on. But is popularity really what Charlotte needs? Or is it just finally realizing that you don't have to be the center of attention to matter?

This book was great. I couldn't really guess what would happen throughout the book, which I always like. Poor Charlotte has such a rough time! Especially in the beginning of her afterlife. But she pulls through and even learns a valuable lesson along the way. I loved Scarlet's character. The way she acts towards her sister is hilarious. They are total opposites in every way. I loved all the nicknames the other dead students have, too. And I thought the ending was cute. It might not have been totally realistic, but then again this book wasn't really all that realistic in the first place. So I thought the ending fit pretty perfectly. I highly suggest checking this book out.
