Why I choose this particular book: I was looking for more books to read and came across this one during a library catalog search. It seemed like a quick, creepy book. I requested this through my library's catalog and received it through inter-library loan.

First impression: This may not be as creepy as I thought. It's published by Disney. Then again, you never know. The cover art is kind of disconcerting, though.

Bad Girls was alright. It's definitely a Young Adult book who's target is teenagers. The story was simplistic and the main characters weren't really developed; they were very reactionary and didn't question what was happening, they just went along with the plot. The adult characters in the book are stereotypes - the mother an overbearing workaholic, the father a man-child, the high school teacher a petty creature who treated the 'outcast' students poorly but who played nicely with the popular kids. There was almost no deviation from the stereotypes set out. Once an adult was cast a certain way that's how they stayed throughout the book.
