Book Review #3: Dreamland

I recently finished reading the book Dreamland by Sarah Dessen. Dreamland is unlike any other Sarah Dessen book that I have read. It is different because, it isn't a boy meets girl, love story. It is about how the main character Caitlin changes in many different ways when she starts dating Rogerson. Rogerson does not get the approval from any of Caitlin's friends, in fact he gets the opposite. All her friends think that Rogerson is a bad influence on Caitlin. I think that they think that because Rogerson is a drug dealer and he takes Caitlin along with him as their dates.
Caitlin has these neighbors Boo and Stewart that are part of their extended family. Boo and Stewart are like a second pair of parents to Caitlin and her sister Cass (short for Cassandra). One of the reasons why Dreamland is unlike any other book of Sarah Dessen's that I have read is because of Rogerson. Rogerson is an intense guy, he is always on time and he absolutely hates it when he has to wait on people. The next reason is because her writing style is different. In one of the other books I read, all the problems that were in the book were at the beginning. In Dreamland, it is all though the book. This is my favorite book so far that I have read this year. It is a great book for all types of readers. I got this book from Ms. Tabor.
