"And thats just fine. I mean,there have been plenty of people who have had perfectly happy,fulfilled lives without a signficiant other. I cant think of any right now. But I'm sure there have been. I'll just be like one of them. I'll just be Lizzie...alone."
Well..how freckin' ironic that the first book I decide to pick out and read would be the one that is utterly believable and coincides with no other then THEE. It's quite true, Lizzie shows so much potential you cant help but feel sorry for her-very generous, gullible, and sees the beauty in all men while still telling herself they are all the same. BUT GOSH SHE IS indeedly talkative. She does not know how to keep ONE secret. This girl cannot keep her mouth shut she just babbles and babbles hence the title of the book and her throne(see title Queen of the Babble). Dear lord this sounds like someone I know, as tu madre puts it "gosh suk, suk tevelti dough?! Meshtir ley tefetel"
So without giving the entire contents of the novel away Id like to get to the review---(I mean everyone does have the option of dragging their cursor the right and clicking the big red X bar to exit if you feel this is giving TOO much.
This coming of age story follows Elizabeth Nichols BKA Lizzie or Liz(only by Andrew though) in a whirlwind of adventures as she falls in and out of love with men, fashion, trust, and confidence. Lizzie a newly graduate of University of Michigan, or is she a newly graduate? Well the unsureness of her collegate status comes from her absentmindness which causes her to fail to turn in her thesis which doesnt allow her to recieve her degree. Sadly she does not realize this until her graduation party and going away party when her advisor comes to tell her. At the same time Lizzie is slated to go visit her boyfriend of 3 monthes, or 24hrs in England. Will she stay back in Ann Arbor and finish her thesis? Or will she hop on the next flight to England to visit the love of her life Andrew who may have caused her to not turn in her thesis. Yea, you guessed it-love conquers all and of course Lizzie goes to England..and the minute she hops out of the plane things go haywire. Lets just say as I truly believe nowadays "you think you have someone figured out-but you really dont and they suprise the shit out of you". Mr. Boyfriend Andrew, isn't what he is cut out to be as, Lizzie has this whole fairytale mr.perfect teach unfortunate kids and the ideal gentleman imaginary person all painted in her head and finds herself in turmoil when he is nothing more then a poor, greedy gambling governemnt welfare fruad! One thing leads to the next and she finds herself on a train to france..What happens there..is something you will find when you go READ it for yourself!
I recommend this book to anyone who wants a quick laugh, and just when I think I can't relate to anyone Meg Cabot tries to go and prove me wrong! Cabot's main character Lizzie-lord! Where do I start with this chick without giving away the entire story? Well lets just say she is a force to be reckon with. I often wonder if I will ever find someone sorta almost JUST like me? Well although we arent dead on clones we do share alot of similair qualities. No need to list them all( me and Lizzie both know) She definately second guesses everything she does, FALLS pretty FAST for every hot shot that comes her way, and makes excuses for every flaw she sees in her latest infatuation!
OK, I will be honest with you, it took me 29 pages before I FELL IN LOVE WITH LIZZIE. Dont get me wrong the first 29 pages werent a skim and turn the page quickly before I drool -it just started a bit blah-I mean for instance Lizzie just kept blabbing, its like hey can I sorta make inferences for myself? why is everything being told to me? But I did forget Lizzie, also known as LBS( Lizzie Broadcasting System) is known for going on and on(energizer bunny much-its like once you give her an inch she takes the mile). And if you are not very patient you might just put the book down and say the HELL?! But...................
Cabot almost on que sways you with the 29th page when BAM! Uh oh..things take a turn for the worst( DONT WORRY-not for you the reader) but for Miss. Blabber Mouth Nichols herself! This is when Lizzie faces something I truly fear within my whole undergraduate career!!!! Oh of course besides flunking out the next worst thing if not THE most worst thing is to find out you really didnt graduate because you forgot to turn in your senior thesis- I mean if that isn't the worst thing imagine your advisor coming to tell you at YOUR OWN GRADUATION PARTY ---you know the same one all your relatives are at praising you on becoming the "first graduate in the family"---Yea, Imagine that huh? Ok who would really want to? Well things just dont there for Elizabeth, well as her friends prefer Lizzie, and the rotten brit Andy preferes Liz!!
Ok, I do have a few questions, even im not this dumb--or actually in a sense I can be in the name of love..but really, who uses there whole savings to fly to England to go visit a boyfriend who previously 3 monthes prior to the visit you had only spent 24hrs with? And how does he recieve such a title? WELL damn it happens ...even to me..once..in the summer...no need to go on...REALLY!
Thats what makes ol' Lizzie so relatable...oh that and gosh can like the Luke thing hurry and happen? It does in my dreams every SO..SO..SO...SO OFTEN! I mean everytime I hope on a plane I only pray I get a seat with a complete hottie, and this is how I knew I was meant to read this book..LUKE had to be from Houston! oh really Meg? how did you know? It possibly can't be mere coincidence? Or maybe---If you knew what boils in my mind, although I dont care to share such contents with anyone except for my soulmate..ok Im rambling...gosh Lizzie has such a potent effect on me already.
Ok,so as I am browsing the WWW..I find there is a sequel and a super sequel and that Queen of the Babble is actually a series-AHHHHHH(Screams)-ok , so Meg Cabot is a God-because I finish Q.O.T.B(Queen of the Babble-acroynonms just made my life easier!) I felt sorta empty like "um what so thats it? I WANT MORE I WANT MORE!! and Meg Cabot again reads my mind--and so I will be heading to the library this weekend to pick up Queen of the Babble in the City to find out what happens when Meg and Luke , Shari and Chaz embark on a life in NY CITY! Soo a review of Q.O.T.B in the city coming soon-!
OUT!
