TaylorBryant787-Killer Queen: A Masterpiece  

Title

I like the title. The title does catch my eye. It sounds more like a teen-fiction genre than a Humor genre story. It does match well with the story since— from reading the blurb— the narrator sounds like she's a walking disaster in the sense that there are things that are going to go on that probably shouldn't.

5/5

Description/Blurb

I definitely got a good sense of what the story is about and what to expect. I would open the book up. The blurb is interesting and it sounds like an exaggeration. It's unique, not like other blurbs I've read because it sounds so ridiculous in a good way though.

10/10

Cover

There's a lot going on with the cover. It's not appealing to me. One is the fonts, I like the killer queen font, but the second one not so much (personal opinion though). And there are three layers to the cover (pictures in the cover) I don't feel like they blend well. But, it does pertain to the story and gives me a sense of what the story is about. I wouldn't pick it up based on the cover though.

3/5

Plot

The start of the story was confusing. I had to re-read the prologue twice because the back story was given to us in the middle and the flow was too instant. I had to ask myself wait is she talking about Daniel, when it was actually Adam. There's more narration than dialogue. The dialogue is a bit odd, different from what I see in other books. It seems like a little bit of screen play dialogue where you have the name and their dialogue. Either way, it just didn't work for me. Each chapter does further the plot though, but it moves a slow.

18/20

Characterization

The narrator definitely sticks out. I don't get a clear picture of her, but she feels realistic. Everyone else isn't as memorable. The only reason why Daniel stick out is because he is all the narrator talks about. Not even Ally really stuck out to me. We were told how she was, not shown.

16/20

Creativity/Originality

There isn't really cliche's. I feel like the story is creative and definitely original. I don't see many stories about a person dealing with narcissistic personality disorder. The narrators voice was clear and distinct. Although the other characters lacked, the main character was unique.

9/10

Spelling & Grammar

There's a part in chapter two that's a typo I believe where Ally "about falling out of her chair". There were also points where there were multiple punctuations which are not needed.

14/15

Enjoyability

I enjoyed the story. I wanted to read on so that way I could find out who this guy Kiwi guy that was mention in the blurb was. I was hooked on the storyline.

4/5

Literary Devices

There were some literary devices here and there like 'sweating like I was in the dessert' and 'all over the floor like dollar bills at a strip club'. They were witty and worked well with the voice of the narrator.

3/5

Description

As I mentioned before there were hardly any descriptions. What we mostly got was a visual picture (actual picture) of the characters how they looked like. What the houses looked like. I really wish there was more descriptions.
