The Short Version:Plot: 10/20Characters: 15/20Writing: 18/20Originality: 20/20Entertainment: 8/10Recommendation: 5/10Total: 76/100I picked up the next Privilege book when I wanted a quick, fast read that I didn't have to think about. Knowing Brian's books, I knew that was what I was in for.The plotlines of this series are just crazy insane. I don't think they would ever happen in real life, and that makes Ariana a hard character to understand and relate to at times. However, even with crazy wild storylines, Brian keeps me hooked on her series and I keep reading more!If you are looking for a book that is entertaining, but would never happen in real life, this is a series for you. Perfect Mistake is a great addition to the Privilege series. I read other reviews and they claimed this book, this series, was a guilty pleasure, or a car wreck they couldn't help but watch. I was by turns bored and appalled. I am clearly not the age group this book is intended for. Ariana Osgood is an A-lister at the elite Atherton-Pryce boarding school and she's okay with the fact that she had to murder and impersonate someone to get there. But it's not okay that her roommate had done the same thing. When both juniors are tapped for the school's secret society it becomes a race to see which classmate will die next. Neither Ariana nor Kaitlynn will hesitate to hurt another classmate if it means getting their way even though Ariana at least believes she has some moral high ground but there is no one to root for, not even Ariana. She will happily, willingly, humiliate or hurt others to further her own ends and it gets boring reading about teens with too much money and too little heart.
What do You think about Perfect Mistake (Privilege (2009)?
Amazing, Brian combines realistic fix to mystery to make a scintillating book!
