Reader reviewed by Wiesteria

This book was pleasant in some ways and irritating in others. Since we all like the bad news first, what I didn't like about THE QUEEN OF SECOND PLACE was it's main character, Cassie. She was selfish and annoying for the most parts. How could she be in love with a boy she's barely met? Plus, he (said boy) wasn't too great in my book either---too wishy washy.

That said, THE QUEEN OF SECOND PLACE does have its good points, one of them being the idea of everybody having a unique (and someimes unfortunate) talent. The standing in lines talent was hilarious (if you want to know what this is about, read the book :)) I also liked Cassie's "annoying" little brother, who was extremely talent. Where can I get a little bro like him?

All in all, this was a pleasant, although a bit forgettable, read. I'm probably going to try its sequel, QUEEN B.
