Predictions and Questions: Scarlett Fever by Maureen Johnson
Juliana Discher Bell 5
I just started this book, after a recommendation from a Half Price Book Store employee, and I think she did a good job in recommending it. I'm only on page 40, but I'm hooked. The bright purple cover and picture of a key adorned with hearts also attracted my attention right off the bat.
So far I predict that the main character, Scarlett, will have a relationship with Max, the mysterious but intelligent brother of a girl named Chelsea she works with. I believe this because in the next chapter Scarlett is going to go to a play with Max and the author foreshadows slightly that there could be some sort of romance between the two. I also predict that along with falling for Max, Scarlett will get over her ex-boyfriend Eric. I think there will be more drama with Eric, because his character is described as a very sneaky, slimy guy. My final prediction is that Scarlett is going to have some family drama because her younger sister is recovering from cancer and her parents are struggling.
I have a couple questions currently. My first question, is what kind of hotel does Scarlett's family work at? I believe that it is a hotel infamous for its plays, but I'm not quite sure. My other question is, does Scarlett participate in plays and is this how she met Eric? I believe these questions will be cleared up as I read further.
Seems to be a conflicting type of story between couples. I dont know if it would be something i would read, but would be nice to know what is alway sgoing around in Scarlett's head. I also wonder what will happen to Scarlett's younger sister.
ReplyDeleteWow! This post was great. I loved how you were very honest and straightforward in your post, instead of beating around the bush for every point that you wanted to make. Also, I liked how you made predictions, and then made questions so we kind of had a better understanding on what was going on. Enjoy the book!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like you're really enjoying the book so far, and that's good. It's also good that you're engaged and can make quality predictions. I don't think I would read this book, as it seems more on the female-friendly side. Ha and it's ironic that the first three comments will be from guys! Anyway, I hope you enjoy the rest of the book.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great book if you are already hooked from page 40. Sometimes good books are hard to find but this sounds like a book I would really enjoy! I hope by continuing to read that your questions will be answered and the book continues to keep you hooked.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds really nice to read . This was a really great post by the way . I like how you were very straight forward. Im not sure i would read this but thats just my opinion
ReplyDeleteGood job Juliana! I really like how you predict the book!!
ReplyDeleteYou can get book recommendations from Half Price Books? I didn't even know that. I like how you predict what will happen next. I probably wouldn't read this book just because it's not my style I'm interested in. Vernon is my bud
