10 Sec Lit Crit (special prom edition): Prom Dates from Hell

Back when your friendly neighborhood burger-flippers (ie, the bookburger masterminds) were going to proms, there were no books to get you into the prom-season spirit...you just had to get all anxious, dread-filled, and dress-obsessed on your own. Now, big publishing houses are sending prom-themed novels out into the world like so many corsage-pinned debutantes....and we've got Hannah, our teen reviewer extraordinaire to get all Simon Cowell on them. So here's her first prom-novel review...

If you have a slight fear of demons, or of mirrors, then Prom Dates from Hell by Rosemary Clement-Moore is not, and i repeat, NOT the book for you. I'm pretty sure I was up till five this morning wondering whether i was imagining the putrid smell of burning. (Don't worry, I was)

Anyway, this was a great book. The writing was fabulous, the plot line made perfect sense, and I couldn't put the book down. I highly suggest it for anyone who does not fall into the catagory of extremely afraid of everything or easily influenced by thought. Or for people like you who don't actually mind being afraid.
Or maybe you're like Maggie, a hero with pretty good intuition and enough salt to save the world. That's all she needed--or had--when well-known people in her school started suffering odd accidents. Was this just a coincidence, or was something 'hellish' happening? Read it before your prom--or else!

PS Bookburger's on vacay til next week...see you then!!
