Pants on Fire Meg Cabot Books

While Tommy Sullivan is, and will continue to be, my favorite Cabot boy, this book is nowhere near one of my favorites. The first thing that I disliked about the book occured before I even opened it--the cover. I originally had to have it shipped over without the jacket, just so I could have the book in the house without my parents' objections. It's a disgusting cover, and one that I'm sure had to turn some readers away, right? The other thing is the title. While Pants on Fire does describe the character well, the original intended title, Tommy Sullivan is a Freak would have worked so much better and been entirely more catchy. Reading through the book, it is more evident than most Cabot books (although I'm realizing more and more that this is true for most all of them...) that the main character is a spoiled, snobby, popular kid. I used to find these books so identifyable, until very recently. Yeah, the characters have their issues, but at the root of things, they are all ridiculously popular, even Mia, the one who most would probably easily identify with (if you object to this statement, you clearly haven't read the last two PD books). Kind of makes it hard to sympathize with them... Tommy Sullivan is the only thing that breathes life into this otherwise dead book about a flirty, slutty, teen. I do agree with the more rebellious aspects of it. (For heaven's sakes, I live in a football town. No truer statement has been uttered than Katie's rant, "I hate the way we worship the Quahogs, and for what? They don't save lives. They don't teach us anything. They just chase after a stupid ball. And for that, we treat them like gods." EXACTLY what I've been saying for years.) This is just going to have to be another one of those "It had potential, but..." books.

Rating: 3/5

Pants on Fire Meg Cabot Books Reviews

This is Just a time filler. Not really an "on the edge of your seat" plot. But it is mildly entertaining.
This book by Meg Cabot is adorable, exactly what I was searching for in a Meg Cabot book, a turn-your-brain-off kind of read. Very enjoyable.
Let me start off by saying, I LOVE this book. I read it when I was in high school and I am looking forward to reading it again. The reason I give this book three stars is because of the condition that the book arrived in when it arrived. The top looks as if it got wet, and the corner of the front cover is falling apart. I am very disappointed. I am one of those people who like their books in pristine condition and I like to keep them that way. This book was supposed to arrive in NEW condition, however, it seems as if this book has been read several times by people who didn't take care of it.

Not happy
Cute book!!!
This is neat to read once, if you are a teen maybe twice. The lead is not all that likable, I wish I could say she grows through the book, but not really. Not one of Meg Cabot's best, but if you tend to like here books you might like this, there just isn't really any heroes, just lots of kissing.
This book is a great teen novel...it kept me reading and the characters and action are developed well throughout the story. Ending is a little shocking.i just read something about quahogs randomly the other day which was a funny connection.
this was a fun and not to deep.
