This is a spoiler-free review! As Meg Cabot requested on her blog, I certainly do not intend to reveal anything that might ruin it for you, but I do want to share some of my thoughts on Airhead.
Emerson Watts is a video-game-playing tomboy, a loner at a school full of those she and her best friend, Christopher, have dubbed the Walking Dead. Christopher seems to be Em’s only friend, but she likes it that way, for the most part; she just secretly wishes that perhaps he could be something more than a friend.
What seems like an annoying but relatively routine trip to the opening of a new Stark Megastore in her neighborhood, an event at which Christopher and Em are chaperoning Em’s annoying little sister, turns out to be far more important in Em’s life than anyone could have predicted. In fact, it changes her entire existence, but that’s all I feel comfortable sharing with you at the moment–you’ll just have to wait for the book to find out what happens there!
Airhead is definitely one of my favorite Meg Cabot books, and she’s written some really fantastic ones. I loved the characters, the whole premise of the novel, and, of course, Meg’s funny, distinctive writing style. Meg Cabot fans will adore this book, but so will those who aren’t necessarily fans; I gave this to a friend of mine when she had nothing else to read on a school trip, and she quite enjoyed it, even though she usually only reads fantasy! I’d say that says a lot about the awesomeness of this book, and hopefully has convinced you to preorder it (the book will be out 1 June). Like many of Meg Cabot’s books, this is a fun and entertaining read, but also a smart, and at times thoughtful, novel. I’m really excited for this book, and already can’t wait for the next book in the series! It’s not quite a cliffhanger, but the end does leave the reader itching to know what happens next. But first, you have to read what happens to set off the whole series, and for that, you’d better mark 1 June on your calendar!

Eh. I’ve never been a fan of Meg Cabot (gasp gasp) but this one looks interesting.
April 11, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Sadly, I read the spoiler somewhere, but I’m still looking forward to this one. I need to read more Meg–I completely adore her blog!
April 11, 2008 at 5:47 pm
Don’t worry, Melissa, I don’t think that would ruin the book, by any means! You’ll still have great fun reading it. Jordyn, you should definitely read this.

Sadly, the only Meg Cabot books I’ve ever read were All-American Girl and Teen Idol. I really like All-American Girl though, it’s really funny! This books sounds interesting…is it any different from her other books?
February 3, 2013 at 5:18 pm
Definitely, it is so good, I would read it all night if I could. School.😠

Josette- yes, it is fairly different from Meg’s previous novels, as it’s more sci-fi, and this is pretty much her first sci-fi novel. But her humor and relatable heroine still exist in this book- it’s really great, honestly. Pretty much the best of her career, I’d say.

i’d say toobook chic.

I ADORE Meg Cabot! She is definitely one of my all-time favortie authors! I can’t wait for Airhead! :D

I’ve read a LOT of Meg Cabot books–and I mean TONS–and I can’t wait to get my hands on this one. Seriously. Meg Cabot and sci-fi… That has got to be the most awe-inspiring/scariest literature combination ever. I CAN’T WAIT!!
April 18, 2008 at 3:00 pm
I wouldn’t say that it’s really sci-fi. The premise is a little sci-fi, but the book itself isn’t, if that makes any sense.
April 23, 2008 at 1:33 am
Yeah. it sort of makes sense. I can’t wait though!

May 21, 2008 at 12:44 am

May 28, 2008 at 5:33 pm
I just finished reading Airhead! And I was so sad when it ended. I usually don’t read that much but I’ve been in a phase latley and that was the third book I have read this week. I am in the middle of the examns this week, and found myself schedualing study time at like 4 in the morning just so i could keep reading this book.If you haven’t started reading it yet, you have to go to the book sore right now, trust me this is one book you have to read!

I read this book and i thought it was pretty good although it was a little werid and didn’t quite have a happy ending… My #1 Meg Cabot book would have to be All American Girl-i like stories to have a happy ending to them unlike Airhead Em Watts never got to talk to her BFF/crush Christopher it left the story hanging but there is a sequeal so maybe that has it somewhere in it.
June 14, 2010 at 2:29 pm

I love them all airhead was the best series of all time just wish there was a forth book would have loved to know what happened with Lulu and Steven, Em and Christopher and of course the real Nicky and Gabriel but more than that they should totally make this book into a movie
October 14, 2011 at 6:06 pm
I love this book! It shows exactly how shallow people can be! I love how Em, even though i a super model’s body, sticks with how she used to be before the brain transplant!:) An amazing and easy read, only about 300 pages, I finished it in 3 days!:)
