Hazing Meri Sugarman *Review*

Hazing Meri Sugarman
By: M. Apostolina

Product Description:

Poor, dear Cindy Bixby is a total loser. Has been all her life. But now as she enters college, Cindy hopes to shed her loser ways -- get some friends and maybe even (dare she think it?) get a boyfriend. Her first move out of loserdom: pledge Alpha Beta Delta.
There Cindy meets Meri Sugarman. Meri is not only beautiful, she controls the sorority, a position that gives Meri more power than...well, maybe not God, but certainly any person within a one-hundred-mile radius. (How, you ask? Think of today's technology and what you could do with it if you were so (illegally) inclined. Get the picture? ;-) )

Meri teaches Cindy that she, too, can be perfect. She can be beautiful, sexy, and popular, influence teachers and politicians, and even have a boyfriend!

But when the new Cindy crosses into Meri-only territory (hint: where there's trouble, look for boy), new -- very scary -- Meri emerges. And Cindy realizes that behind all that beauty is an evil beast that must be stopped.

So how did I come across this series? Which so far contains three books. Well my friend and I were talking and she recommended it to me. She owned all three and loved them plus I read a lot of positive reviews on it. So I borrowed it from her and gave it a shot!

The back of the book and cover are definitely funny and so is the main character. I started out liking her in the series, but of course later on she becomes alittle more annoying and ignores her old friends who aren't as cool. I'm sure we've all read or watched something like this before. Luckily it doesn't stay that way for long.

By the end of the book I either loved or hated any of the characters. I just never got attached to any of them, which I think is an important part of reading. Luckily the story is funny and it was nice to read a book about a college freshman going to college at the exact same time as I was. Other then that I might read the other books in the series if I ever am bored and have run out of things to read.

 Overall Rating: 5.5/10
A funny book. Especially a nice read for high school seniors or college freshmen, but that's it.
