90210

Morocco Junction 90210 would definitely be a story I would recommend to my friends. Its starts out as a jewelry heist and up until the end you think you know what’s going to happen, but then it takes a dramatics twist and BAM, you’re wrong, and everything you thought you knew was wrong. Morocco Junction 90210 was an interesting read because of its surprising ending and the way the narrator takes you through the story giving you facts and information about herself. These facts may seem of little importance sometimes, but in the end, with the knowledge we have about Minerva’s persona we understand why she keeps her newfound discovering to herself. Throughout the story I sensed that this was going to be a murder mystery, where in the end she would put the pieces together and we’d have our killer. The fact that didn’t happen was probably one of the reasons I loved this story, these kinds endings fascinate me, they make me go back and find clues that I may have missed or things I didn’t pay attention to. The dramatic twist was great, and I loved the way it fit into the stereotype we have of Beverly Hills. We have these rich people who don’t talk about all the bad things that happen and will do anything to keep their secrets hidden, embarrassed to be ridiculed by their peers. Some even go as far as killing themselves, as is the case with Eloise. She was so ashamed of her past, she knew that if it were discovered she would be shut out by her peers and her family would be left to bear the weight of her mistakes. Overall it was a good story to read, it made you think that Beverly Hills may not be the only place where people would rather die than clean out the skeletons in their closet.

  1. To be honest, I almost didn't comment on this but I just had to. It really caught my attention. I read your post before I even started reading any of the stories and it really made the story sound interesting and had eager to read this one.
    I tried not to read the end of your post though, so that it wouldn't be completely ruined but I couldn't help but notice your ending...
    "Beverly Hills may not be the only place where people would rather die than clean out the skeletons.n their closet." (: (: (: good job.
    ps. I totally understand what you meant by going back into the story and looking for clues that I've missed! That's when you know it's a good read.
