I received an ARC of this book thanks to NetGalley and publisher ECW Press in exchange for an honest review.
This book was such a treat to read! It is essentially a collection of essays about the film Jennifer's Body, exploring the various themes and its cultural impact both when it was released and now. The mistreatment of the film at its time of release might not be an entirely new story to everyone, but this still covers a lot of detail and factors which I wasn't aware of personally and that I enjoyed reading about. The various essays about characters and themes are expertly written and are immensely enjoyable for any fans of the film. There is a strong focus on feminism throughout and what Jennifer's Body says about being a teenage girl. Overall, this is a brilliant book for both fans of the film and fans of movie analysis, and it is well worth checking out. I shall be trying to get the others in the series.
Overall Rating:
