Teen Book Discussion: Rules of Survival

(May Contain Spoilers)


The discussion was very interesting. On the subject of which family they would rather live with, they were decidedly divided. Both groups brought up good points. For the DuBois', the point was that as long as you were not a step member and went along with the party line, you weren't really in harm's way. For the Walsh's, at least it wasn't forever.

The discussion about who was most evil out of the books that we read was also a good point. The majority decided that Lisette from Locked in Time was the most evil. Although, there were some votes for the warden from Holes and Mary from Everlost. Honestly, I didn't even think about the warden when I was coming up with questions. So, that whole part of the discussion came as quite a shock to me. Nikki from Rules of Survival was voted "has the most problems".

Also amusing was when we talked about which family you would rather live with, the Walshes got a lot of votes simply because Nikki got mad at the kids for doing housework, and a lot of people said it would be nice not to have to do chores.

All in all, a fun night. Next is: Evening of A Great and Terrible Beauty.
