There isn't much detail in this book, especially on characters. The storyline seems to kind-of drag along, so that there are a couple of bits that might be vaguely interesting, but most of the scenes in the book seem to just drag on. It is unrealistic, especially with the plane crashing in the airport. I have never heard of a disaster like that happening. The book seems to revolve around sex way too much, and those scenes are just cringeworthy. Actually, that is the perfect word to describe this book; cringeworthy.

Sometimes it's worth taking a look at human existence from a grand perspective, rising up and seeing the bigger picture. These are the massive concerns of the flailing "hero" who lollops from adventure to misadventure, via catastrophe, in Meg Rosoff's intrepid new novel.

by Xin ZhaoSionSnow This book is one legendary or maybe not.
This novel is about FATE and his delicate decision about treating people who they are and what will their future be like? This novel is alright....... I had to read in for school. The introduction was BORING, however during the complication and nearing towards the climax, it get INTERESTING, such as sex, suspense, and complications between the main character named, Justin. Overall I've read 3/4 of the book so far, but I would recommend the novel having a better complication such as Justin dying in a horrific situation because he always GETS SAVED!

by nickyy Please don't read this.
Ridiculously unreadable. How could anyone even rate this more than 1 star. There is no storyline and the characters are not described very well. I had to read this book for school and had to write a review of Agnes, a character from the book. Impossible as Meg Rosoff cannot write and uses to much description of "fate" and none of any story. Please, for your own good, DON'T read this!

This was a wonderfully written book that tackles a subject that most teen authors don’t dare to tackle, fate. The main character, David Case, suspects fate is out to get him after his brother experiences a near death situation. In fear of fate making his life worse he changes his identity, and name to Justin. In his race to escape fate he comes in contact with many deadly situations that turn his life upside down, like contracting a disease to being one of few survivors of a terrible plane accident. I can easily relate to his 5-year old logic that, if I can’t see it It can’t see me. His logic and thoughts behind his actions, sometimes rash and sometimes comical will always hit you in just the right spot.
My main reason for liking this book is that sometimes fate is narrating the story. Some high power that David/Justin believes his controlling every ones lives always has some remark about what ever David/Justin does. The view is fine up here. I can look out across the world and see everything. One of my favorite sentences from fate is “For instance, I can see a fifteen-year-old boy and his brother.” It was going completely against David/Justin’s Logic and he is completely oblivious to it. I found this aspect of the book comical but almost creepy.
Meg Rossof uses such common language that every one can understand to weave such a complicated-at-first-look kind of plot. She makes David/Justin so paranoid that those fears begin to grow on you too. And that is a exceptionally good thing.

WOW the book was ok . But the plot was really hard to follow. I nearly fell asleep and I'm surprised to hear that this book won the Carnegie medal for the best children's book in 2007.
Stranger than fiction, blending tragedy and farce, How to Create the Perfect Wife is an engrossing tale of the radicalism, and deep contradictions, at the heart of the Enlightenment.
