Suite Scarlett [NOOK Book]

Liv's Book Reviews

I've never been a huge fan of Maureen Johnson's. I know, it's a crime. It's just that none of the books of hers that I've read have made much of an impression on me. I do admit that she's a good writer and has some great story ideas, but out of the books I've read so far, I didn't really like them enough to say that she's one of my favorite authors. But, I think that may have changed after I read this book. While reading I thought to myself this must be the kind of Maureen Johnson writing that has made people fall in love with her. It's really good! She's witty, precise, clever, funny, and her whole writing style made this book completely enjoyable to read. It's got nice flow and has enough little quirky things to it that nothing ever gets boring. I'm definitely understanding what people like so much about Maureen. I'm a fan now. Besides the writing, there were, of course, other elements that I liked about the book. I really liked the reality of it all. Maybe not the reality of the plot, because I have a feeling that that part was meant to be not so real and more funny and captivating, but I really liked how the author was able to write about the setting and the characters so that it felt as if you were there and you knew them. I've been to New York once, like five years ago so I don't really remember a ton, but from reading this book I was able to understand the whole dynamic and feel of the city which was cool. I'd love to be able to go and spend a week or two among the crazy hecticness of New York. It seems like it would be a really cool place to live. And besides the setting, the characters were completely awesome. They each had some interesting personality trait that made them unique. I also liked how the cute guy in this story had things wrong with him! Yay! Cheers for realistic and screwed up guys. Sure, I'm not as fond of Eric as I am of more unflawed guy leads, but I do admire him for having the strength to defy the character mold. Ha. Overall, I think Suite Scarlett was a super great book. I loved every part of it and am looking forward to the next Scarlett book with tons of anticipation.

Great summer read

I bought this book for my summer reading collection. It was super funny and engaging. Scarlette was in a way like me and it made the book more interesting. I would definitely recommend this book to girls look for a good laid back, summer read! Now I need to get "Scarlette Fever".

Fantastic

This book was very well written it had many twist and turns. The beginig of the book was a little slow but then once it reached chapter ten it became more thatn i ever expected it to be. In this book it has family love, romance, completly crazy hotel guests, and many other twists and turns. This book is excellent for any one around the age of fifteen. It was absolutly fantastic. : )

suite scarlet is really sweet

This book is great for teenagers who are lookin for excitement and looking to find what a first love feels like. It's a book that will keep you flipping the pages never wanting to put down the book to see what happens next. Maureen Johnson knows how to write a book perfect for a teenager, it helps you realize never to let go of your dream and fight for it, also life isnt fair and you got to deal with it. I recomend this book to everybody because its great to read and rewarding for your mind.

absolutely amazing!!!!!

OMG!!! I absolutely loved this book. I recently went on a long road trip and needed something to do besides looking at bare land. I had picked up this book a month ago and brought it along with me thinkin that i might get bored. Sure enough i did so i started reading and the book just captured me!! I even stayed up late to read it. I was really sad that i finished the book cus it was SOOOO good, but i passed it on to a friend who might like it. I really hope that you read this book.... trust me you'll love it... if you like love stories. :)

Fantastic book

Great coming of age story about a girl growing up in New York in the hotel her parents own. Her assigned guest for the summer is a very eccentric former actress. Her brother is an actor and Scarlett has a big crush on one of his co-stars. But there is a catch. There is always a catch. The hotel is on the verge of going out of business, her crush is sending her mixed signals, and her guest is trying to help out but only ever seems to make things worse for Scarlett. Well written, a great alternative for someone who is sick of all the gossip laden, she stole my boyfriend so now she must die, even if only socially, novels that dominate the teen market.

Ok.

This was ok. I liked the characters, but the story got boring. Ended up skipping pages a lot. The humor was alright at times too..

Fabulous

Excellent read for all ages.

Very good

Suite Scarlett is a very good read. The climax took a little while to get there, but the author did not want to make it a nonunderstandable. I started to like Eric in the beginning but later in this book and the next kind of changed for the worse. He was there, but again his character seemed to change in every scene. Also, Mrs.Amberson is hilarious! I loved her charecter! She always made me laugh with all of her crazy antics! All in all it was an ok read. I do reccomend it.

Sweet

An enjoyable, quick-read book about Scarlett and her adventures living in her family's hotel. It's the first book I read on my new Nook and of the series. I plan to read the rest of the series, eventually.

The Suite Scarlett by Maureen Johnson

the book has its ups and downs. some parts are really good and just plainly amazing. others have a touch that was insipid. overall its a really great book. i recommend it.

cute story

This was a surprisingly cute story! There were several moments when I found myself laughing out loud!

Liked it

This was a good, entertaining story. I can't wait for Scarlett Fever!

Great story!

What a creative, witty story! Loads of 'situations' arise that make you laugh, even though you can predict a disaster is lurking just around the next page. I liked the way the author included real life drama to the characters and storyline (serious illness easily ruins finances and treating sick kids like they are super-special can turn them into monster-brats). But most of all I liked the message of hope - that if you stick together and love and help each other, amazing things can happen.

This is the first book I've read by Maureen Johnson. Can't wait to read the sequel!

WOW

This book is soooooooo good ! Johnson captures me in her amazing writing and I will remember this book forever ! It is definitly the kind that you share with your friends and reread over and over again... I love Eric and I think that their relationship is beautiful and sweet. I really want Spencer for an older brother. Also, Marlene was anoying but I think she came around... WOW
