** spoiler alert ** When I first picked up this book, I thought that the premise of it could lead to something not completely predictable.

How wrong I was.

I dislike Poe. So much. I understand what she's trying to get at, but she feels so arrogant and has a 'I am always right how dare you defy me' sort of attitude. Rebellious characters are acceptable, but being excessively so is a bit much.

Not to mention that nothing really goes badly for her. And we're talking about almost every single little thing. Even the parts where she experiences some sort of humiliation or frustration with the system and so forth end up with her succeeding in whatever she's doing.

I'm not even going to mention the plot. Basically, the underdog can apparently get away with essentially everything and wins in the end. That's it. There's no real depth or lesson involved, except for maybe that you should stand up for what you think is right. Even then, this book gives the misleading message that doing so will always result in a near-immediate (if not immediate) victory.

All in all, I felt that she didn't fail enough to have any real character development, the plot was ridiculously predictable, and that it sends out a distorted message.
