My review of Geek Girl All That Glitters by Holly Smale
Blurb from the back cover
Harriet Manners knows many facts.
*Toilet roll was invented by the Chinese in 600AD
*A comet's tail always points away from the sun
*The average healthy heart beats 70 times per minute. Even when it's broken.
But she knows nothing about making new friends at sixth form. And even less about being a glittering supermodel success. Which she now is - apparently...
My thoughts on the book
This booked is aimed at 11+, but even as an adult, it's a good, easy read. Ideal if you fancy a good book but don't want to have to concentrate too much. I love the central character, Harriet. She is someone I think young teenagers could very easily relate to. She is warm, kind and just wants to be liked, but as a bit of a misfit, she finds it hard to make friends. The story tells of Harriet's brief success as a model, and how she is instantly popular. A story of shallow teenage behaviour and true friendship. This is one of a series of books, and although I haven't read any of the others, I didn't feel lost or like I didn't know what was going on.
Conclusion and rating
Ideal for teenagers, this is a good book to teach kids that beauty isn't skin deep, and the importance of friendship. I also like the random facts that are often thrown in. Very interesting and overall a good read! 4/5

Check back Friday, when I will be running a giveaway to win a copy of this book and a copy of Demon Road by Derek Landy. If you missed my review of that one, have a look here.
I was gifted this book in return for my review, but all opinions are my own. As an avid reader, I would never recommend a book I didn't really enjoy!
Recently, I reviewed Demon Road by Derek Landy and Geek Girl All That Glitters by Holly Smale. They were both brilliant books, you can read the reviews here Demon Road and Geek Girl. And now, I have one copy of each to giveaway! How exciting is that?!
