Customer Reviews

Johnny Voodoo

This book was very intriuing. I was so interested and fascinated with it that I read it in one day. I highly recommend it. Two thumbs up!

A Must Read Book

I read Johnny Voodoo for my 2nd period English class. I thought that it was one, if not the best book that I have ever read. It is about two outcasts who are brought together through love. It is more of a romantice book and some people are not in to them but if you are I think that you would enjoy this book. The two outcasts are Deirdre and Johnny and the story takes place in Charmette, Louisiana. Deirdre moves to Charmette from New York and she is very lonely there until she meets Johnny who is a homeless teenager. Deirdre classmates see them together one day and they make fun of her because some of the girls think that Johnny is good looking and they are jealous of Deirdre. So, she does not have many friends in Charmette. Deirdre has one other thing that upsets her and it is her father. He is not the nicest person to her and her mother died when she was little. But, like I said it is more of a romance so if your in to that I recommend that you read this.

This is a must read!

Johnny VooDoo was by far one of the best books I have read. Not many books will get me reading to the point where I don't want to stop until it's finished. Dierdre is an outcast in her town. She just moved there and she has no friends. She feels all alone between her home and school worlds and her mother had died years before. Then she meets Johnny and everyhting changes for Dierdre and she learns a valuable lesson. True love always lasts. But is the love between her and Johnny true love or is it just a game. Will their love last?

This is my FAVORITE book!

I love this book. The language is so rich and captivating. I can almost see myself there, and I can completely relate to Deidre. I've read this book three times since I got it two weeks ago. I tear through it, it's so good. I love Johnny, too, and the whole experience Deidre goes through is so heartbreaking and easy to relate to. If anyone who reads this enjoyed this book, too, I recommend reading any books by Francesca Lia Block, as well, because her characters are just as loveable and her imagery is spectacular, as well.

For anyone who has ever been in love
