The Prom Goer's Interstellar Excursion
by Chris McCoy
3.5-3.75 stars
This is a fun, light read. I flew right through it. This definitely gave me a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy feeling. I laughed out loud several times.
I enjoyed the structure of the story, in which each chapter covered one day. I thought this would bother me because some of the chapters were very long (the first was 60 pages) but as I said earlier, this story flies by, so I didn't even notice that.
The characters were fun and quirky and I liked the dynamic of the band with each other and with Bennett.
The ending was a little unrealistic, which may sound ridiculous in a story about alien abduction, but I know that I'd been missing for a week and my parents thought I'd been abducted, there's no way I would've been allowed to run off to prom, especially not with the suspected kidnapper.
One more thing I really liked was that Bennett and Sophie don't end up staying together. That, unlike the silly race to the prom sequence, was 100% realistic to me. Not many couples who start dating in high school stay together forever, and them transitioning into a friendly relationship was a nice deviation from the typical YA contemporary novel.
All in all I would recommend this for anyone wanting a light, fun, quirky read.
