I don’t know how to say this nicely so I’m just going to say it honestly. I hated The Girl With The Mermaid Hair. I couldn’t get into the story and I couldn’t get past the main character’s personality.

The Girl With The Mermaid Hair is the story of Sukie Jamieson. From the very beginning I knew I wasn’t going to like Sukie. All she cared about was herself. She was obsessed with the way she looked and she was so full of herself. A major part of the book was Sukie talking about how gorgeous she was. One of my problems is that if I don’t like a main character, I don’t like the book. Obviously this caused a problem for this book.

I would go into the plot but I don’t know what it was. There wasn’t a whole lot going on in the book. At first I thought there might be some romance to the story but it didn’t pan out. In the end Sukie did a little growing but not enough to redeem the book.

Overall, The Girl With The Mermaid Hair is one book I won’t be recommending. I hate to write such a negative review but this was not a good book for me. If you are at all interested in it, check it out from the library but don’t waste your money.
