Zoey Redbird is a Mary Sue, far worse then Bella Swan will ever be. Unlike Bella, she doesn't hide behind her fake Fatal Flaw(s), the authors try to pass her off as perfect. Her attitude though is far worse then Bella and she is one of the most hypocritical teenagers I have ever met.
Cold hard fact about the series is, while the Casts claim this is the way teenagers act this day and age, not only is this not true, parents who pick up the book will be realing with the mere idea of their sons and daughters acting like the kids in this book.
The book makes it seem all right to belittle your peers and call them names despite the fact this is not justified by any given logic. Particulary when said word fits Zoey better and she is allowed to get away with the sleezy behavior she puts forth. Did I just say sleezy?
The content in this book is the kind that I would not give even to a mature thirteen year old, and my opinion is, while YA can be geared up to the twenty-one year old age bracket, if you can't give it to the youngest in the grouping, something is wrong.
Finaly point is, there is no plot to this series. There is no major conflict, things just happen.
First Book: It is NOT YA!!!
