I was skeptical to read Jungle Beauty Goddess’s Pretty Blue Ball because I’ve never been
into science fiction and the only time I’ve read the genre was for specific
classes. However, as soon as I began reading it I was compelled to read
further. Ultimately, the book makes the reader think about his or her place in
the world as well as the condition of the planet we live on, but the biggest
message I received from the book was that family should always be a top
priority. I also believe the book included a message about coming of age and
making the proper decisions as well as learning from our mistakes.
The love the parents showed their children was undeniable
and the bond the sisters had was comparable. I enjoyed being acquainted with
each Goddess and their thoughts about their plans for their planet as well as
their own intimate desires. The pictures were added bonuses because it made the
story whole. One of my favorite lines in the story was when the sisters would
say, “I love you sister. One as the same, the same as one—without you—there
would be none.” The story was told very well, conflict and all. I am hoping for
a second story to see what happens further. I’d recommend everyone to read this
book!
