I really enjoyed the first book in this series, but this one was a bit of a letdown. I found it very boring at the beginning - it took forever for anything at all to happen. When the mystery finally got going, I was intrigued, but then the whole thing fell a bit flat again. Bummer. Still, I like the illustrations and the diary format. Maybe the third one will be better. ( ) This is the second novel for the character who started life as a T-shirt design. It is more conventionally structured than the first book where the reader and Emily are dropped in at the deep end from page 1. A comparatively slow build-up leads to a big problem for Emily; herself. Yep, the reader is faced with a variation of that terrible cliche, the Evil Twin! This being Emily, though, the fun is as much in the Strangeness as anything and Evil Emily is still Strange... Perhaps not as much fun as my first encounter with Emily, in The Lost Days, where amnesia abounds and I knew as little about Emily as she did, partly because I am now familiar with the character and the design ethos, but still very worthwhile. I found Emily at a time in high school when I really needed her. And even today at 26yo she still feels like a huge part of me. I was able to accept myself and all my weirdness because she showed me it was ok to be different. I love all of these books! I recommend them to anyone feeling left out ,weird, or like they don't belong. Fun in a snarky, dark kind of way. Diary format does not really allow you to experience the story, but I think the authors did as well as they could within that format. It's a little hard to know what to think about a character like Emily who's supposed to be a hero and anti-hero at the same time, but I'm sure there are a lot of outsiders who will identify with the mad scientist/painter/skateboarder. Personally, I found the cats more sympathetic than Emily. Reviewed by Lauren Ashley for TeensReadToo.com Emily the Strange is back in her second novel, STRANGER AND STRANGER. The last mystery has been solved and now her, her mom, and her awesome cats are off to another oddly-titled city. Once there though, Emily finds a way to duplicate herself and now has an OtherMe to deal with. Things seem great at first: the two of them work on a Master Prank, turning everyone in the town strange; Emily finds a secret sewer to design a mural on (though she keeps this to herself); and each generally enjoys having a copy of the other. However, things get bad when OtherMe believes she is the real Emily and turns into EvilOne. Can Emily stop things before her cats abandon her forever and she's stuck with all the blame? And just who exactly is her strange neighbor, Venus Fang Fang? More than she seems, of course! Emily the Strange is not for everyone. The story isn't realistic in any way, but that's what makes half the fun. She's a strange little girl who loves cats, drawing, and being scientific. She hates company though, so having a double is bound to get annoying for her no matter what...if only that double wasn't a complete evil being. I had a hard time getting through this book in places. I feel the first book flowed a lot faster, while this one seemed a bit more on the "Oh gosh, get on with it!" side. If people are fans of Emily, they are bound to love it. If you're not, or not yet, then obviously you should stick with the first book first and see what you think of the style. I do love that the EMILY THE STRANGE books include fun drawings on basically every page and that it's told in a diary format. Those make it fun to read even during the boring bits. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
