Customer Reviews

This is an Awesome Book!

I thought that this book was really great. It's about a girl named Lulu Dark. She goes to a party one night and her beloved purse is stolen. She goes to find out who took it and she starts to become more and more like a detective everyday, the very people she despises, as she puts the pieces of the mystery puzzle together, trying to figure out who took her purse. The plot took many unexpected turns which made the book suspenseful, which is the main reason why I liked it. In the end, I was shocked to find out who the culprit was. I REALLY liked this book and can't wait for the sequel to come out.

a smart fun read

What a wonderfuly quirky little book! It is the small things that made this book for me, the plot had its twists and turns and the overall story was imaginative and well thought out but my favorite parts were the small, seemingly insignifigant character traits that made the characters have real depth. Lulu's cowboy boots and fringe, Daisy's obnoxious mother and all the idepth descriptions of Halo City's funkiest establisments made the whole thing come to life. A hoot from begining to end. I cant wait for the next one!

cute book

Even though I'm in my twenties and this is a teen book, I still loved it! Lulu is an adorable, funny, cute character that really keeps this story moving along. I won't tell you what the story is about because every review here has it. I will tell you that Bennett Madison is a great author! He knows how to write and I hope he continues to do so. (...) he says there will be a sequal called 'Lulu Dark and the Summer of the Fox'. I hope it comes out soon! I do think this should be a whole series of little adventures and mysteries.

Perfect for jaded teens.

This book is an utter delight. It's witty and a little campy, but the author manages to keep the tone relaxed. You'll cheer for the mean but well-intentioned Lulu. You'll fall in love with the sensitive Charlie (swoon) and you'll cringe at the evil-hearted Swede Svenska. Mr. Madison has constructed a mystery for the everygirl. If you hate girls who wear sequined tube tops or cringe at the thought of losing your knockoff Prada purse, this book is for you.

Awesome! So smart and entertaining!

Lulu Dark Can See Through Walls at first brought back memories of my own reading material when I was a pre-teen, but after the first few chapters I really got into the plot and forgot that I was reading a book aimed at young adults. The first person narrative is witty and smart and draws on a lot of pop culture references that I was fortunate enough to get. I think that young girls who are looking for something a little different from the mainstream books that are usually marketed to them will really enjoy this change of pace. The characters are snarky and a little jaded for their age, but they always remain morally centered and essentially honest. The twists and turns of the mystery will also keep them intrigued until the last chapter.
