This got me to thinking, after I read All New Mallory Pike
The thing with Alexis seemed very real
the girl has had numerous problems with other roomates and she destroyed Mallory's care package and it didn't mention that the girl could have been suffering underneath. it gave that feeling like Alexis is supposed to be viewed as a horrible evil girll, but most people don't just destroy care packages without having some sort of deep roots emotional trauma.
I kinda felt lik Alexis could have been written on further, and maybe one more Mallory Book to clear that up (and talk about more about her)
Then again, i still have books 127-131 to see if any closure happens. I heavily doubt it. It kinda bugs me when a book is written about someone and then it kinda ends and the person drifts off into the unknown
I really would have liked to see, the problem be resolved in the middle of the book, Alexis getting therapy or something, and Mallory helping her through it and they become more friendly at the end.
Alexis strikes me as a girl like Lou McNally who has a lot of emotional distress in her life.
I would have liked to see something along the lines of Alexis feels abandoned at Riverbend, like, her parents dumped her off there and her real friends at home didn't miss her and she's got that want for friends but is scared to take a chance due to her feelings and past.
i like when a BSC book has a strong issue at hand to try to help and resolve such as:
kinda like the chid abuse issue that arouse.
and the anorexica issue
and Lou McNally's problems as well.
and the breast cancer
and Watson's stroke
Danielle Roberts being more "reckless" but, i thought in the book it was gonna stem from a "I'm gonna die so who cares if i do reckless dumb things" it was a little discouraging to see Danielle just being a brat due to her parents lax-ness
Stacey's blood sugar skyrocketting.
Robert's depression
i like books that have a root of a real problem in the world that could very well happen to you, a person you know, etc.
but maybe its a little too much for 8 year olds to be reading.
however, i think Ann did do more 'seriousness' in the California Diaries with the 5 friends of Dawns
any thoughts on this??? :3
