Title: A Bad Day for Voodoo

By: Jeff Strand

🧟 First look🧟

I don't know what made me want to read it but I saw the word voodoo and had to see what it was about. Then I read the back and I was hooked.

☠️ Summary ☠️

When Tyler’s jerky sophomore-history teacher falsely accuses him of cheating, his somewhat psycho best friend Adam pays to have a voodoo doll made of their teacher.

Despite Tyler’s initial disbelief that the doll could be real, the two try it out the following day. Tyler sticks the doll’s leg with a pin, and his teacher’s leg flies off, spurting blood everywhere. The paramedics take him away. The two boys proceed to freak out—Adam much more so than Tyler, because then he has a voodoo doll made in Tyler’s image to blackmail him from spilling their story to the cops. All of this happens in the first 45 pages, and what ensues is a ridiculously stupid chase to rescue the doll from car-stealing thugs, a Rottweiler and a host of other bizarre and mildly humorous characters before Tyler meets an untimely demise. Strand’s best-selling point is his ability to create authentic teen voices and craft wacky plot twists that baffle and surprise readers. The novel’s assets stop there, however. The characterizations are shaky. The plotting is haphazard and dissonant, and the author occasionally inserts his own commentary into the novel at various points, advising readers to “take a break and read the Hunger Games again.”

🧟The writing🧟

I love the way Author writes is amazing. He's beyond detailed with his words and has a sarcastic yet serious tone to him. He throws in amazing punch lines and now's when to add a sarcastic element to add suspense or to pull something up. I definitely love his work and see myself wanting to read more from him.

🧟 Favorite part🧟

My favorite part would have to be a chapter where the author goes off about saying who he hates super longs chapters and make this chapter a half of a page.

☠️The rating☠️
