MUY BIEN!

this book is awesome...it just continues the story from the first two books with its outrageous events that happen to Cindy...poor Cindy. i havent finished it yet and i don't want it to end but i want to see what happens too.

This time it's personal (and, as usual, hysterical)

What would holiday travel be without an Apostalina book along to keep me chuckling? A heck of lot less fun, that's what. I'd been eagerly awaiting another slice of Cindy/Meri smackdown, and this round sure did not disappoint. I wouldn't dream of spoiling anything, but trust me, if you think you know Meri (or Cindy), you ain't seen nothin' yet. Grab your shades, find a comfy couch, and bring a beverage, because you're going to enjoy the ride.

Apostolina has done it again!

Not since "The Devil Wears Prada" have I had this much fun reading. I really really hope they make a movie out of it!

Absolutely Hilarious!

I loved this! Cindy Bixby just keeps getting better and better as a character. She totally has to battle Meri Sugarman this time, and the writer really coms up with some funny offthewall things for her to do. I agree with the other review - the supporting characters are great. I especially loved Lindsay, the girl with the umbrella, and Bud Finger, whose romance is both really dirty (because of Bud) and really sweet. Plus I loved Cindy's new romance, too. But the best part of this series is Meri and Cindy, with their back and forth battle. The ending has a surprise that I totally wasn't expecting! I hope there will be more Cindy and Meri books!!

DARK CINDY is the perfect conclusion to the battle between Meri and Cindy. Sort of like a delicious chocolate éclair after a scrumptious twelve-course meal at some fancy gourmet restaurant. I just couldn't get enough! Hazing Meri Sugarman, Meri Strikes Back, and DARK CINDY are easily the best collection of teen chick-lit I've ever read! In the latest installment of this sorority girl good vs. evil battle, Cindy decides that she's done playing nice. It's time to roll up her sleeves and play dirty. Buh-bye Cindy Bixby...hello Dark Cindy. After all of the pain that Meri has caused Cindy, the girl has got it coming. Meri just doesn't know what's hit her when suddenly her sweet little bow-wow transforms into a leather-wearing, skateboard-riding, bad girl. Dark Cindy doesn't mess around. She's going to get her way, and she's not going to feel bad about it. In so many books, the protagonist decides that they need to "take the high road" and not fight back. It's so refreshing and satisfying to see Cindy stand up to that standard and really stick it to her enemy. It's not that Cindy abandons all of her morals, but she realizes that you have to fight fire with fire. It's not going to be pretty, but sometimes there are no alternatives. Cindy's a tough girl and she comes up with some wildly clever schemes to defeat Meri. But all the while, she maintains a vulnerable side in her diary entries that makes her a lovable character. What really separates M. Apostolina's writing from average teen chick-lit is the depth of the supporting characters. All of the characters, from Cindy's friends to Meri's henchwomen, come to life and play an important role in the plot. Cindy's little sister, Lissa, provides comic relief throughout the story, with her wannabe ghetto rockstar antics. Overall, this is a fabulous book that I would recommend to girls and guys of all ages. Reviewed by: Amber Gibson
