Be Smart-President Hinkley

Books are such an important part of our education. No mater if we are three or seventy-three, we are all constantly learning.
Reading is an essential part of learning about the world around us. By picking up a book, we are bringing information, new thoughts and different ways to look at things, into our mind. Instead of turning on the TV, read something. Enlighten your mind, become more educated, like President Hinkley urges us to do.

The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks

The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks
Disney-Hyperion 2008

Summary
Frankie is known as Bunny Rabbit by her family, an innocent little girl starting her Sophomore year at Alabaster. But she's not innocent at all. When she find out about her popular senior boyfriend's secret society for males only, she's determined to put a stop to her innocent self. Soon Matthew, Frankie's boyfriend, isn't the only one who has secrets. Why does Frankie do this? You're going to have to find out on your own.

Personal Review
At first this novel intrigued me. It was thought out, and I loved how a lot of things, like certain kinds of words, were compared to Frankie. It would be really fun to go back and analyze everything in the book. However, it seemed that some parts were a little drawn out, and it didn't exactly end with a bang. It was however a fun read. I liked Frankie's character, although I thought everyone elses, except Alpha's were stock characters. This story was largely about Frankie fighting against society, and I was kind of hoping that it would branch out a bit into other people's characters. However, I'm not the author. The way it was written was very good.

Cautionary Notes
There's mention of the menstrual cycle, birth control, sex, girls underclothing and underage drinking and smoking. There are also numerous pranks that are pulled in this book.
