Julie Neidhardt _ulie_eidhardt — It was hard to like the protagonist for most of the book. It had some really good concepts but the execution was very disappointing, and the resolution felt too pat, like the neatly wrapped ending of a sitcom. Full review: "Not That Kind of Girl" is a novel with some very important messages, which it tackles with great ambition but which is, ultimately, undone by a long buildup and then a far too swift unraveling. I loved the ideas it presented, loved the way it discussed feminine ideals in a very serious manner, but felt that those messages weren't delivered in the most effective manner. For me, the biggest problem with this novel was with Natalie, the main character. I liked the fact that she was focused and that she was savvy about the unsavory motivations of some of the boys at her school. However, I often found her strident, condescending, and, at times, downright sexist. She was a very flawed character, and the vast majority of the book is this unfolding of her flaws. This isn't problematic in and of itself. What is problematic is that the narrative spends most of the time building Natalie up for her fall--so much time that I began to fear she wouldn't show any growth at all. For much of the novel, she seemed terribly one dimensional to me. I actively disliked her and would probably have stopped reading if not for the fact that I just kept hoping against hope that she would learn something and show some growth. She ultimately does, but this is such a small portion of the novel that it couldn't undo the damage of the earlier buildup. In fact, I found the ending to be rather pat, like an after-school special. When she finally does realize her mistakes, Natalie is able to mend everything with far too much ease. I was very disappointed with her lack of deep introspection. She does show self-awareness toward the end, but it felt far too shallow when compared with the gravity of the events in the story. Though most of the characters did end up having several dimensions in the end, I felt the novel created too much of an impression that they didn't. Many of the characters spent the majority of the novel feeling like stock characters, which was really to their detriment. Vivian is exploring various aspects of adolescent female and male culture here but, at times, it feels like the characters are being firmly pushed into the boxes out of which they are attempting to break. This may be a flaw of telling the book solely from Natalie's perspective. Maybe if the reader had the chance to see what's going on inside Connor's head or Spencer's head, it would have done these characters more justice. While I do think that the characters are ultimately treated fairly, for the most part, I spent too much of the novel feeling uncomfortable. I was particularly uncomfortable with the way Natalie treated Connor. In the end, Vivian does show that being a feminist does not mean hating men, but I think that message was far too delayed in its delivery. I really hated the way Natalie treated Connor, how she justified this treatment. I also frankly couldn't understand what he saw in her. I couldn't help but feel that, had the situation been reversed and Connor had been the one behaving the way Natalie did, the book would have had strongly negative connotations. I really wish that the idea of equality in a relationship had been treated more deftly, that questions about power and who possesses it were given more weight than they were. I think these messages would have been better served had Natalie's comeuppance come a bit earlier and had its consequences been given more weight.

Emily Bargate emilybargate — It is amazing, how can a writer in 1948 could have all this imagination about things and techs that happen in the future! Yet it is very black drama about how our world could be in a very rude and cruel when it is controlled and dominated by holistic systems and administrations!!

Claudia Villarreal _lauu_illarreal — Excellent! I really enjoyed it.
