Sticky Fingers Niki Burnham Rodrigo Corral Books

I will first admit that it was the cover that first caught my attention... I mean seriously! If you don't want to know more about this book just by looking at the cover then I don't know what you are thinking! But let's be serious folks. Sticky Fingers was a wonderful novel! Jenna is straight laced, both in school and in life. She has just received early admissions into Harvard, has an amazing boyfriend who is popular, hot and faithful, and an amazing best friend - overall Jenna has a pretty good life. Sticky Fingers is about Jenna finding her own path without worry or doubt of other people's actions and opinions. In particular, Niki Burnham explores the one decision many teens face: to have sex or not. Jenna feels the pressure to finally sleep with her amazing boyfriend after over a year of dating. All he wants to do is relax, and he wants Jenna to relax... with him.

I have read many reviews that say this novel had a very slow pace for more than half of the book. While this is true, I actually enjoyed it. The novel's slow paced movement worked in it's favor - you really get to know Jenna. While the novel's synopsis tells you that Jenna is a hard worker, you come to understand why and just how much throughout most of the novel. I loved Jenna's character completely. While being pressured to have sex, you also find Jenna's character to be honest, wholesome (in a non-annoying way), and just overall a good person. But of course she is far from perfect (even though she is a smarty-pants going to Harvard). She struggles with herself, her actions and her decisions. What does she do when she find her best friend is having trouble, while lying to her? Does she look beyond the lie to find the truth, standing by her side, or does she wash her hands completely?

Honestly, the only thing I can say that did not do this novel justice is the amount of time (or lack there of in this case) spent on exploring the issue of Date Rape & Date Rape Drugs. While this novel is about so much more than this, I feel it is such an important issue that needs to be examined more. The book just ended a little happy given this. HOWEVER, you must read this! If you pick up books solely because of their cover (which I sometimes do), you will not be disappointed if you do so with this novel!!

Sticky Fingers Niki Burnham Rodrigo Corral Books Reviews

Knowing one's self is one of lifes greatest accomplishments. Many spend their whole lives not knowing what they truely want to be happy. Jenna is not one of those people. She is smart, driven, and accomplished at only seventeen. Although, the one thing that she may not have planned on is how others decisions can also influence her future. Sticky Fingers is an entertaining read, as well as, a learning lesson for the younger generation. Sometimes even the people you think you can trust can not always be trusted. I was torn in rating this book. The first half of Sticky Fingers was slow paced and felt a little bogged down and struggling to maintain my attention. Although, the second half of the book picked up pace and intrigue leaving me entertained and attentive. In the end I am settling with a four rating I feel that it is a fair and honest rating to leave room for improvement, but also to congratulate a well writing book. Many things in life begin slow and soft, and end with a boom. This book is a particular example of this theory.
Not as good as I expected. Not very developed and it just wasn't a good book I wouldn't recommend it
This book was in very good shape when I got it. Very few noticable bends. Im very happy with this product
This was one of the best books I have read in quite a while. I love the way she loves she writes her books and how she puts it. Great book highly recommended!!!!
This book had me guessing what was the issue Jenna was going to face. I loved the book. A few grammatical errors but I will manage. Awesome book. Great lesson!
This book was not at all what I was expecting, and that's a good thing. I figured it would be the pretty cliched deal about a heroine whose on track for great things and then decides to start partying and chucks it all away. Jenna, and Niki Burnham, really surprised me.

Jenna was a pretty consistent character in the story. She stays strong, she stays on track, despite the fact that her friends are the ones self-destructing around her. She does make a couple bad choices, but on the whole, she stays pretty true to who she really is...working toward her Harvard goal and staying pretty focused. She does spend a great deal of her time angsting over what her friends are up to, but this was a pretty realistic reaction to some of the things going on around her. The fact that she's able to power through and continue speaks well of her character.

This is one of those stories that if I said too much more I might give away something really important. I will just add that when "the big event" happens later in the book, I was completely thrown. Boy, did I never see that one coming. It was the furthest thing from my mind as being a possibility. It wasn't until it happened, and I thought back over the events leading up to it, that I realized how well the author had set us up for this event to occur. I was shocked, but not surprised. Great job, Niki Burnham!

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is up for a more serious read about some real issues that teens face, both on a daily basis, and on a not so common basis. Despite the fact that "the big event" was inexcusable, you could definitely see the "villain's" point of view and see where "the villain" would think their actions to be explainable. To me, that's the best type of villain...the kind where you hate their actions, but at the same time, you can understand how they might think they didn't do anything wrong.

A very good read... well worth the time.
