Review of Roxy and the Beetles
In his book, Roxy and the Beetles, Jaiden Williams talks about Baby, Roxy, and her band. This book is written from a first-person perspective. Baby had always been indoors, but his parents persuaded him to go outside, explore, and make friends as the teenager that he was. Baby finally heeded his parents' advice, and when he went out to the mall, he bumped into his high school bully, Ricky, who at that point tried bullying him before Roxy, Ricky's girlfriend, came to his rescue. He later discovered that Roxy and Ricky were in the same band, but after their misunderstanding, Roxy left the band and rejoined her previous band, which included three of her friends. Baby joined Roxy's band when they told him that they would be participating in the Battle of the Bands Competition for a chance to win a hundred thousand dollars. Would Roxy's band win? Or would the prize belong to her ex-boyfriend, Ricky's band? Uncover the truth by reading this book.
This book is filled with action and romance. The book contains strong usage of profanity and sexual content, so those who would find this offensive should avoid reading this book. This book gave me an ideal idea of a supportive mother, as Baby's mother was there for him and even attended the competition just to show him her support. I learned the importance of cooperation from Roxy's band, as well as the importance of not giving up.
I loved the harmony and understanding between Roxy and her band. How Baby's parents were able to persuade their son to go out, make friends, and explore rather than just stay at home, and how this helped him find his purpose and what he had a passion for, was adorable. Likewise, I loved the band lifestyle, especially that of Roxy and her band. What I also adored and enjoyed about this book was how Baby and his mother had the same taste in music, which created room for a mother-son bond as he always confided in her before doing anything.
Some parts of this book were a little confusing for me, as the author didn't go into details, and it was kind of rushed, which is something that bothered me. One other thing I didn't like was how Roxy was just brought into the picture and nothing crucial about her life was discussed, apart from her life with the band, and I was expecting to be fed more details about the main characters. Furthermore, while reading, I noticed some errors in this book. So, therefore, for these reasons, I give this book a rating of 4 out of 5 stars. Other than this, this book was enjoyable and interesting to read.
I would recommend this book to those who would love a good story about a band, as they would find it interesting to read.
