Query: Devoid of interest

This book is so low on plot and characterization that it's practically transparent. It's filled with ostentatious references to "cool" consumer items like cars and electronics, features teenagers treating themselves and others badly, and lacks even the small trashy pleasure one gets from reading, say, the Babysitters Club or Hardy Boys books. Simon and Schuster should be ashamed to aim this elementary-level book at high-schoolers. Blech.
