Dead Is So Last Year (Dead Is Series #3)

Reviewed by Karin Librarian for TeensReadToo.com

The Giodano sisters are back from a summer vacation in Italy, and things in Nightshade are as strange as ever when they get back.

The first thing Daisy wants to do when she gets home is see her boyfriend, Ryan. She has missed him and can't wait to get over to his house. Daisy is disappointed to find out that he is at football practice, but heads over to the school anyway. She is very surprised by what she sees. Ryan has really buffed up in the weeks she's been gone and so, it seems, have most of the other football players.

Since there are still several weeks left in summer, Daisy decides she should get a job. She notices that Slim's has a "Help Wanted" sign in the window, and with her love of cooking, she feels this would be a perfect fit.

After leaving work one evening, she notices someone digging in the dumpster in the alley. Strangely, it appears to be her missing father. After other strange appearances in town, the Nightshade City Council comes to the conclusion that Doppelgangers are on the loose, causing havoc in town.

Daisy and her sisters have to figure out what is going on. Is there something strange causing the football team to get super-strong in such a short time? Who is creating the Doppelgangers? Is Mr. Giodano really back or is he a Doppelganger, too?

DEAD IS SO LAST YEAR is a fun conclusion to a cute trilogy. Marlene Perez has a knack for writing with user-friendly, non-intimidating language. The only drawback is you definitely need to read the trilogy in order. So, readers, take heed - read DEAD IS THE NEW BLACK, then DEAD IS A STATE OF MIND, and finally DEAD IS SO LAST YEAR.

BEST BOOK EVER!

Have you ever wanted to clone something or someone? If you have then you should read the book, Dead Is So Last Year, by Marlene Perez.
This book is about a girl named Daisy,her mom, her grandmaw, and 2 sisters, Rose and Poppy. They go to Italy for 2 weeks on a vacation. When it's time for them to come back home, Daisy's mom can't come back with them because she is working on a case. When they get back to Nightshade, Daisy goes to visit her boyfriend, Ryan, at football practice. When the football players get finished, Daisy and Ryan go to Slim's Diner. Daisy also gets a job there. The big problem Daisy faces is that her dad is back in town, after leaving her 6 years ago. When he comes back she is not sure if it's her dad or not. The reason for that is because someone is making clones of everyone, that can take over their doubles life and ruin it. She is afraid that her dad is one of the clones. Is he a clone? If he is a clone will she find her real dad? If you want to know the answers to these questions then you have to read the book.
My favorite part is when Daisy meets Slim. This is my favorite part because Slim is invisible and Daisy doesn't know he's there.
I would recommend this book to girls ages 11-15 who like to read science fiction.

Dead is so last year is awesome

i absolutely loved this series. this is a good series to just relax with. its not a book that i would say is my favorite, just a good book to read when you are tired and you just want to rest. its fun and not too serious and it has an interesting plot thats not TOO out there. i would definitely recommend this series. if you just want something to relax with, i also recommend killer cruise and sleepless. if you are looking for some more books about things like vampires and ghosts i recommend marked, twilight, and the mediator series. for more books like this, check out my b&n page :)

Dead is so Last Year review.

I found this book full of suspence. It had so many twists and turns it always kept me wanting to read. This was a great way to wrap up the Dead Is series. Some of the caracters also become very differnt from the caracters that I read in the first book. This is a truly great book for anybody who likes to read and for people who love supernatual mystries.

Amazing

This book is recommened to anyone that wants to read for hours. I am in a book club and we all tought this book was amazing. We have read the entire series and it just blew our mind away. Marlene Perez is an amazing author who should get a "Book Grammy". Marlene brings a new understanding to reading. After my book club started we said we would just start with just 2 chapters then when we say each the next day we said NO!!!!!! we nedd more chapters then 2!!!! It was an amazing 2 chapters of all these books. You are amazing Marlene Perez!! If you ever want more D's just email med back Marlen

Your biggest fan and her book club,

B-BOO

AN AMAZING BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Daisy Giordano misses her father, who dissapeared several years ago, more than anything else. So when reports that her father has been seen in Nightshade, California, her hometown, Daisy cant help to wonder if it could be her real dad. But now everyone is seeing double! Is this the work of another mystical person in Nightshade or is this REALLY her dad? In the middle of all this, the football team is getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Are they going to extremes to win this year? You'll the answers to all these questions and more!

Overall Great book!!!!!!!

I loved this book it was so good....Im going back this weekend to get the third book in the series. I wish she would make another book in the series. The book is so good I bout it on Sunday and Started reading it on Sunday and before my parents made me go to bed I was done. I defintly think that you should get this book.
