“I loved everything about this book. Really amazing writing it kept me interested the whole time. I love the plot of this story, it's kind of on the edge of may or may not really happen type of thing. I love the character Em Watts who is having to live in the body of someone she had never respected or admired, Nikki Howard. ”

“An easy read, Airhead, a humorous 340-page science-fiction novel, by Meg Cabot, is an intriguing yet semi-predictable book. Set in the busy streets of New York, it recounts a tale as old as time of an average high school girl named Emerson Watts who does not fit in at her school, TAHS, and the accident that changes her life. While at the opening of the new Stark Megastore, she is crushed by a huge plasma screen and rendered unconscious, however when she wakes up she has an out-of-body experience. Literally, as in order to keep Em alive, surgeons transplant her brain into a super model's body. She is no longer Emerson Watts. She is now the face of Stark, Nikki Howard. Through her quest to find herself in this new body, she learns the usual lessons of such stories - that everyone has problems and no one is perfect.

"To most people, zombies are the undead. But to Christopher and me, zombies are the popular people at TAHS, who are very similar to the undead in that they have no soul or personality. But they are, technically, alive." (13) A typical example of the writing style employed in the novel, the above is simply put and easily understood. Airhead, though an enjoyable, quick read, is the perfect stereotypical teenage girl novel. It fails to provoke thought, and is simply intended to pass the time. Its word choice is rather elementary, and few analogies are used.

For the above-listed reasons, the book would have deserved a rating of one star, however it does offer a few interesting ideas. This being the reason it received a three-star rating. Em or more so her thoughts and brain are still very much alive, and yet her body no longer exists. Nikki Howard, on the other hand, the body Em's brain is transplanted into, no longer has her rational mind. Her thoughts are Em's thoughts, and yet her body still functions. Leading one to ask, how is death defined? How is identity defined? Is Em now Nikki Howard because she is in her body? Or is she still Em Watts because of her thoughts?”

“I love this book! I gave it a 4 star rating because it has some bad words in it. It is kinda weird because this girl's brain is put into this supermodel's body. Otherwise you just have to read this book!!!!”
