Basically this books is about a bunch of beauty queens who are
left stranded on an island after a plane crash, leaving them with very little
food and water. The beauty queens must now work together to survive and find a
way of the island.
Racism, Sexual
orientation, Feminism, sex, self-esteem is just some of the many themes in
Beauty Queen. Sometimes when you read a book with this many themes it can
become quite boring as it just focuses too much on one themes and not on the
others or it focuses too much on the themes and it makes the book drag on. In
this book this wasn't the case, Libba Bray covered so many themes and still
made the book funny and interesting.
The style of this book itself was amazing, you are given character
profiles which helps you learn more about the characters and connect better
with them. You have bits in the book
where it looks like the corporation have gone through the book and took out what
they don't want you to see and not forgetting the corporation advertisements which
I just have to say brought a smile to my face.
Normally if I read a book with this many characters in it, I
get confused and can't remember who is who, but it wasn't the case with this
book the characters were all so unique, every single one of the beauty queens
had their own set of issues and were all relatable.
I didn't expect to like beauty queens as much as I did, but I absolutely
love it and I can't wait to check out more of Libba Bray books. I gave this
book 5 out of 5 stars
