Review

I dislike several things about this book. With eight sisters, it was confusing about who is who at the beginning of the book, and it was kind of 'noisy'. Also, they are octuplet, so they should be identical. I was confused that how can they be different in height. "Each was one inch taller than next." In other words, the tallest one is taller than the shortest one 8 inches. It just does not make any sense. One more thing I dislike about the book is that I think it might have bad inferences through children readers. For instance, an 8 year-old girl was driving in the story might make kids think they can drive too. The story itself is okay. I think there are enough excitements that readers can flip page after page.
