Okay so first book in what seems to now be a series, The Red Blazer Girls: the Ring of Rocamadour got some awesome reviews. Check them out. Five stars from amazon readers and then starred reviews from journals. What? Did I read the wrong book? Well technically I didn't read it, I listened to it on cd. It was weird because I picked it up and realized it was read by Tai Alexandra Ricci, who had read the very last two books on cd that I listened to, My One Hundred Adventures and A Crooked Kind of Perfect. How weird is that? I really like how she reads, she is really awesome! But I wonder if Red is the right kind of book to listen to because it has a lot of math puzzles in it. I am not big on math as it is and having someone read the math puzzle, instead of seeing it, makes it even harder. I am not sure if I can give this an accurate review!
I mean, I like the idea, Catholic school girls from NYC turn detectives. And I like the idea of bringing math into a fiction book, but I don't really like math! Literally, most of the math was over my head, I am definitely not smarter than a fifth grader when it comes to math.
I didn't enjoy Red Blazer at all. It just seemed to go on and on and it actually made me groan aloud when I watched the car cd player click, click, click, to yet another track, yet another chapter.

The plot? The girls meet up with an ec- you know what? Just read it off the link to the catalog I provided above. I can't make myself talk about it anymore. This is one book I hope I won't ever even have to shelve!
