Dream Factory

i just finished reading this book.  can't say it's one of the best books that i've read before, but it's good. it's has its own way of being and having a good story. i can also say that this is the MOST depressing book i've ever read. swear. i just feel so depress when i'm reading it. maybe it's because of the narrator and the way the narrator feels about herself. she's sooo SAD. and i don't like it very much. 


also, i just bought this book yesterday at Powerbooks, 'm having second thoughts right now if this is the right book that is worth spending my money for..... i think not. :(


here a short description:

"Maybe letting someone know me past the costume, past this summer, past this very moment, is just too much." After her brother dies and her missionary parents move to Africa, recent high-school graduate Ella takes a job performing as Cinderella at an enormous Disney-like amusement park. Luke, who works as Dale the chipmunk, is drawn to Ella, even though he's dating "perfect" Cassie. As in their debut collaboration, Scrambled Eggs at Midnight (2006), the authors contribute alternating chapters, flipping the funny, intelligent narration between Ella's and Luke's voices. The gleefully detailed theme-park background, with its oppressively manufactured "magic," is an excellent foil for the characters' sly, cynical humor and also their earnest questions about how to trust and recognize intuition and individuality, beauty and truth. The hot-pink cover shouts chick lit, but the strong male voice, the upended fairy tale, and the characters' honest struggles will broaden the audience for this thoughtful romance.
