Review Detail

Unlike regular superhero stories, Hottie brings a fresh new outlook on the definition of superheroes.

What I loved about Hottie was the comedy and the genius-ity of the entire thing. I had this déjà vu when I was reading it and realized at the end that it reminded me of the 1-800 Meg Cabot series. Especially with that whole being-zapped-by-lightening-can-produce-superpowers thing. Did anyone else get this similarity?

I loved Alison. She is so funny. And not only does she have a sense of humor, shes also really smart and outgoing when shes not being shunned by the world. I loved how she seemed to have a split personality especially when she wore that Hottie costume. When she wore it, she became this whole new confident-boosting gal which is so unlike her typical self especially after she was shut out from all her ex-friends and stuff.

In the really beginning though, I really didnt like Alison. Why? Because she was so stupid. Seriously. Well, stupid in a naïve way. She believed everyone her friends and family. And when her mean, nasty friends thought that she needed a symmetry surgery to fix herself even when they knew that she didnt need to do it, she believed and trusted them and put herself in incredible danger. That danger turned out to be a good thing&at the end.

And the villain? Totally predictable. Well, thats only to me because I read too many superhero books so I can kind of guess my way through.

The ending&was something I could totally see from my head. When I was reading it, I imagined it how it would be if it was a movie&and was reminded of this witch in the Wizard of Oz that got squashed with only her legs sticking out.
