It's three a.m. We're in my father's law office on the forty-seventh floor, or what's left of it. Gobi walks over to me, kneels down and wraps her arms around me, and presses her lips to my ear, close enough that I can make out the words.
"Perry," she says, "I had a very nice time tonight."
It's prom night. Up till now, Perry Stormaire's only worries were finishing his college applications and getting his band its first big gig in the Big Apple. But when his mother makes him take geeky, quiet Lithuanian exchange student Gobija Zaksauskas to the prom instead, Perry figures the night is going to be a disaster.
He has no idea how right he is.
Gobi has a special mission--five targets by daybreak--and Perry's roped into it whether he likes it or not. Now they're off like a prom dress on a reckless, no-brakes blitz through nighttime Manhattan in his father's red Jag, going eyeball to eyeball with Russian mobsters and teen angst, high-velocity bullets and high school bullies, all thanks to the most beautiful girl that ever almost got him killed.
Crammed with car chases, heists, hits, henchmen, eyeliner, and even a bear fight, Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick is a pedal-to-the-floor, rapid-fire thrill ride that will hold you captive to the last page. And remember, it's not over until "au revoir."
My thoughts and opinion: READ THIS BOOK. The only reason I picked up this book was because I thought it had French stuff in it. You know the "au revoir" stuff. But I also thought it was going to have a unexciting plot because of how short the length of the book was. However, cracking open that book was the best decision of my life. This book is like packed with action; I felt like I was reading something similar to Jackie Chan or Matt Damon. Exciting action and awesome adventure!
I kind of think Gobi isn't that crazy. I mean, why does she drag Perry into her problems and murderers when obviously he is a chicken and useless? Gobi is not really shooting people randomly because she feels like it. So I don't think she's crazy; I just think she wants revenge for her twin sister.
I really hate Perry's father. He should really be proud of Perry! He has raised a son who graduated high school. I hated the way Perry's father acted like he knew what was right for Perry; he doesn't even know how to be right! Having an on-going relationship with a fellow worker? So many wrong things there.
I gotta admit though, that was AWESOME the way Perry turned down that university lady. I would have been jumping up and down with excitement.
The dialogue that Perry has with Gobi is witty so I liked that. Overall, this book was scrumptious and I enjoyed reading it!
