- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I didn't like the book because I thought it was to predictable 3/5 BS (10th grader) I selected this book because I thought the summary.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love love LOVE this series and I wish that Jaffe would write more. Kitty Kitty was hilarious and clever. The footnotes (and chats) make the book even more amusing. I wasn't sure that Kitty Kitty would be as good as Bad Kitty, but I needn't have worried. It was pretty great.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Second in the "Bad Kitty" series, though I read this one first. The week before school starts, Jasmine's father (nickname: Dadzilla) packs up her and her not-at-all-evil step-mom and takes them to Venice. While this is a non-ideal situation (leaving behind rock star boyfriend, and the crew of friends who get her through everything) she makes the best of it, becoming Model Daughter, taking Italian, and staying (mostly) out of trouble. Until her already crazy Italian class friend starts acting even more crazy, and believes her life is in danger. Jasmine tries her best to stay out of trouble, but of course, discovers she can't.This is my first book by Michele Jaffe, and I am very happy to have discovered her. Jasmine is smart, sassy and up-to-the-minute, and American to the core. This is a witty, intelligent book for teens and teens-at-heart. The crime is a nice bonus -- keeps you guessing to the end and plausible enough. Pure pleasure.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5In BAD KITTY, Jasmine Callahan discovered a murderous plot afoot in Las Vegas. In KITTY KITTY, she leaves the canals of the Venetian to the canals of Venice, only to stumble across the path of another murderer. Only this time, she isn't soon enough to prevent tragedy. She can track down the killer and prevent more murders, by following the guidance of Mr. T and using her Italian gleaned from Commissario Rex and translated episodes of CHiPs. Little Life Lesson 1: Mr. T might not be the best role model. ESPECIALLY if white leather pants are involved. Of course, the rest of the cast is still along for the ensuing mayhem. The Thwarter has morphed into Dadzilla, a more dangerous version of the breed. Jack just might be off with another girl who can stop a rhinoceros in its tracks with a single look. And while Polly, Roxy, and Tom are in the United States, they've just had a very worrying IM conversation with Jas. (Princess P: "Ah. I see that we are using the alternate universe definition of "plan" meaning "a massively horrible idea.") Oh yeah, and there's the Evil Hench Twins - call them Sapphyre and Tiger's*Eye (the star is silent). BAD KITTY knocked my socks off when I first read it. Hip, funny, and clever. Jaffe follows it with a sequel that's every bit as fun. I want Polly as my fashion designer, with Roxy providing the armament. Jas's horrible Italian adds to the book's strong sense of language. Jaffe has a knack for teenage lingo. Instead of copying current slang, she - like any self-respecting teen - invents her own. The language Jas and her buds share, as well as that of the Evil Hench Twins, rings true with any teenager because it evokes the private words they share with their friends. Many books aimed at young adult girls in the market today feature bad role models. Jas's ideas of bad are incredibly funny because she's such a good girl at heart. Reading a mainstream YA book where the teens use their brains and don't smoke, drink, or do drugs is a pleasant change. So parents, don't worry if you see your daughter or son reading KITTY KITTY.
