Something is wrong in Ridgemont. Evelyn MacIntire senses it. June 2017 will bring an end to more than the school year. Parents and teachers have told her and her friends they have their whole lives ahead of them. After high school they can be anything they want to be. They've been told that they are special and unique. Turns out their "whole lives" might not last past the end of the school year. Reality is shifting. The powerful and wealthy in Ridgemont have more than money to play with. The Ridgemont Chamber of Commerce has their own end game. And for Evelyn and her friends, what should be a coming of age teen comedy is about to descend into madness and terror. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Having said that, I think the audience who would enjoy this is limited to those who are fondly familiar with Fast Times at Ridgemont High (which by definition also probably limits the audience to mostly Americans). I was in high school when it came out; it was a cult classic of my teenage years. So one of the things I enjoyed in reading through the book was picturing the scenes from the movie. I think without that frame of reference, the story would be less captivating, and the descriptions insufficient to imagine what is happening.
The concept of taking this every day coming of age type story and tacking on a sci-fi horror story as an overlay intrigued me, and it was fun, if a bit silly. Not much character development (again, because we know the characters from the movie), and frankly, the additional characters like Evie's parents are totally flat to me -- which may have been the point? There's not much explanation at all; it mostly feels like the author thought it would be fun to try this out, but didn't really fully develop the sci fi horror bit. Despite that, it was fun to see what would happen next. ( )
