A Review of Zoey 101 by Diane Jakubas and Marina Jovanovic
A Review of Zoey 101 by Diane Jakubas and Marina JovanovicZoey 101 is the first official product to feature the spirit of celebrity tutoring. It is a sequel to Zoey's Chemistry, a popular children's book that was so popular that it was adapted into a successful TV show, The Secret Life of Pots. It follows on from the success of the original because it is very funny and you find yourself laughing out loud several times as you read through the book, just as you do when you watch the show.In Zoey's Chemistry, Zia, Zoey's chemistry teacher, introduces Zoey to her various teachers, or little brother, before introducing her to the world of science. They will be working together in Zoey's Chemistry to create a series of different substances with different properties that can be used to create different items. This concept continues in Zoey 101, where the two lead characters are going to be using their chemistry knowledge to make fun new items for themselves.As with Zoey's Chemistry, the mai n character, Zoey, is going to be using her chemistry knowledge to help create something in her life that she feels she might use to impress her chemistry tutor, Zia. As with the original book, the characters in this new book are people who are a little bit less than fully developed.Zoey's Chemistry tutor was a very interesting character in this book. She was much more than a teacher; she was also an author, who wrote her own books. We see that in this book, we'll also see that she isn't completely horrible and that she has some good points as well. The tutor herself is almost unbelievable in the way that she has developed over the years, she now has to battle with weight issues and has diabetes.Like Zoey, you will also be introduced to a teacher, called Pots, who is also somewhat unbelievable. Pots was a much older man who was passed over for a promotion, so he decided to take matters into his own hands and decided to teach kids instead. He teaches Zoey and later on you'll find out that he also taught the tutor and the teacher.The tutor, named Zia, is a very interesting character in Zoey 101. She wants to become a doctor in the future, but as soon as she gets this dream she puts everything she has into achieving it. She is a very bright girl and tries to help everyone around her, especially Zoey.Zoey's chemistry tutor is the real focus of the book and she is going to be the main character for the majority of the book. There is something about her that never fails to capture the attention of the reader, but all that seems to work against her is the fact that she really doesn't have much substance. At first you think that she might be the main character, but she really isn't until the end of the book.Although this book is not necessarily good, it is fun to read. It has plenty of humour and quite a few great characters. The first part of the book was a little bit slow, but by the end, everything has worked its way through, and the characters are at the forefront of the story.
