General Comment Either Hilary Duff dates really small guys, is a really big girl, or a lesbian Really, the whole shoe thing is just not one I ever understood not that I understand much about trends and fashion.
But this is a great book that creates an interesting and probably fairly accurate scenario about how trends get started, how they spread, and why they seem to come and go so quickly. But what if there's a group that's trying to undo the work of all the marketers and trendsetters these would clearly be my people? Are they the anti-cool? What i Why did it have to be about shoes?
So Yesterday by Scott Westerfeld
What if they themselves somehow become cool? This is the premise of Westerfeld's book. When Hunter a Trendsetter discovers the ultimate shoes in an abandoned building in Chinatown, he's determined to find out where they come from and whether they have anything to do with his boss's disappearance her phone was found in the same building, but nobody seems to know where she is. What he learns about the "cool pyramid" and it's relationship to revolutionary France makes him re-evaluate his own status as a Trendsetter. It also gave me a lot of food for thought on the subject.
This was really, really good. Infact, I was considering this as maybe one of my favorites That was until the last 50 pages or so The final twist, the gripping conclusion to the mystery It was totally ridiculous, and ruined the book for me. Also, the characters seemed pretty flat You can tell this is Scott Westerfeld just learning his chops in This was really, really good. You can tell this is Scott Westerfeld just learning his chops in the YA field, it definitely has echos of his humor and wit, but whilst this is VERY easy to read, the writing is all over the place.
I would recommend this for existing Westerfeld fans If you're new to this author, start with Uglies or Peeps Nov 09, Amy Bailey rated it liked it. I really don't get what people think is so great about this book. Yes, the plot was unique, but it was also just rather odd. I didn't get what was so important about it and I didn't like the characters all that much. It seemed sort of superficial. I guess I just don't give a crap about shoes. Dec 06, Dana Schmidt rated it it was ok. Not one of his better books. However it does shed a seriously sad light on what the future of our world will most likely look like.
Especially if the next generation is in charge. The concept of the story itself was interesting, but the delivery overall was mediocre.
I didn't find myself very invested into the characters. And to be honest, I'm still not totally sure when this whole thing takes place. Sep 09, Angie rated it liked it Shelves: I had so much fun listening to this book.

The story was fast paced and the characters were a lot of fun. I did feel like the plot kind of lost my interest the last couple of chapters. Maybe if I understood economics and trends a bit more? Mar 23, Tony Nguyen added it. This book is a excellent book for readers who enjoy reading mysteries. There is a great twist in this book and the author hooks the reader constantly.
Who knew how important these shoes really are? Jun 08, McNeil Inksmudge rated it it was ok Shelves: I listened to this on audiobook, and I'll rate that the reader was decent. Nothing bad but nothing truly exciting either. Made me wish books words made into radio serials with multiple actors. The book itself was decent. It was funny in most places. And had the sarcasm and jeering that a teen would have.
I didn't expect it to be a mystery I admit I chose it without knowing what it was about, but simply because it was an audiobook and was easily available to borrow so that was interesting.
So Yesterday
Teen I listened to this on audiobook, and I'll rate that the reader was decent. Teens investigating something is a fun concept because you know their resources are limited and they aren't taken seriously by adults, so you hope that they achieve above average feats.
The plot was interesting because it was a part of society I wasn't familiar with - big businesses consulting teens on pre-launch and commercials and "cool-hunters" and "innovators," or people who break the trend and march to their own beat and influence others inadvertently. I liked it up until the points where the theory about "cool" and the corporations deciding what's cool for us were really approached. I'm not a fan of big-business and it's affect on American culture and morals, so this part really turned me off.
I'm not sure what the moral of the story is, besides to be an innovator yourself. I guess that's an important theme for teens, and that's what they think about. The book did have that benefit: The emphasis on being a predetermined "cool" is what made me give the story two stars though. I didn't think there was much for teens to learn from it. Relatable, yes, but not very redeeming in its value to make up for the frequent language or materialism. The protagonists are chased by a scary looking bald guy in a dark building.
Sadly that's the most exciting part of the book. Language - a lot of taking the Lord's name in vain. Some other farmer's curse words. But too much of the former for me to be completely comfortable. Aug 25, Julia O'Connell rated it really liked it. The premise of this story was a little ridiculous, but with Scott Westerfeld behind it it was well executed. Companies pay him and give him free products in return for his participation in focus groups where he gives them feedback on their advertising.
He spends his summer days out on the New York City streets searching for the next coolest things and sending pictures of street fashion to his boss, The premise of this story was a little ridiculous, but with Scott Westerfeld behind it it was well executed. He spends his summer days out on the New York City streets searching for the next coolest things and sending pictures of street fashion to his boss, Mandy. This is how he meets Jen, an attractive innovator with a talent for tying her shoelaces in unique ways.
After documenting her shoelaces, Hunter invites Jen into the cool-hunting world. But when Mandy suddenly goes missing, Hunter and Jen must team up to find her. The entire plot is motivated by Hunter's crush on Jen--he follows her into risky situations, she comes up with clever plans, and she always knows where to find trouble--but their romance is sweet and fun, and doesn't feel too much like a tired old trope.
Awkward and a little nerdy, Hunter is constantly amusing the reader with an onslaught of random trivia--part of his nature as a watcher and information-collector. Jen is spunky and impulsive, a risk-taker who lures Hunter into situations he wouldn't otherwise be in. The other characters come off a bit as caricatures, but were still enjoyable to read about, particularly Tiffany Hyphen. I hate to say it though, but So Yesterday is now a little Such things are bound to happen to books that rely on pop culture references and in which current technology features prominently.
As the book was originally published in , the characters are constantly marveling over new, advanced cellphones that can take pictures! And the light of the screen can even serve as a flashlight! It made me realize how quickly we've become accustomed to the world of smartphones--but sense of datedness kind of diminished the excitement of these passages.
Overall, it was a fun read. Certainly not Scot Westerfeld's best, but definitely a great audiobook to listen to while doing menial tasks at work. Nov 02, Amy Holiday rated it really liked it Shelves: Any book that has an escapade is a good book as far as I'm concerned, so of course I liked this one. Hunter the Cool Hunter yes really, meh is near the top of the trendy social pyramid. He's paid to find the newest trends, and bring them back to a marketing company who evaluates them, then sends them down to the next level of "cool" the trendsetters. Hunter spots an innovative way to lace a pair of sneakers, and makes friends with the shoes' owner, Jen.
When Hunter brings Jen to a focus grou Any book that has an escapade is a good book as far as I'm concerned, so of course I liked this one. When Hunter brings Jen to a focus group to evaluate a commercial for its "coolness"," Jen is skeptical of the whole process. But she still agrees to meet Hunter and his boss Mandy the next day. But Mandy doesn't show, and they find her phone nearby in an empty building--with the coolest sneakers either of them have ever seen. Hunter and Jen set out to find Mandy and solve the mystery, with hilarious results. But I think we can chalk that up to being a 10 year old book holy crap, yeah, published in And Hunter and his compatriots were really just cool nerds, which made me like it a little more, actually.
Looking forward to reading the Uglies series next! Dec 10, Jessica Lewis rated it it was ok Shelves: Ok so what can I say. This book was a combination of a mystery and a love story with a teenage twist.

I enjoyed parts of the book mainly when the chapter was left at a cliffhanger but some of it was vey poorly written or thought through I feel. The fact that the author wrote about certain product without using its name directly although we all knew was he was talking about was very irritating. The scene at the party where the underage characters got drunk I found a bit hard to read through it's Ok so what can I say.
The scene at the party where the underage characters got drunk I found a bit hard to read through it's not that I am a saint or anythig but I feel if adult authors that our kids look up to develop storyline that make it seem acceptable for our kids to drink and do other illegal things like steal cars ehat does it tell us about the world we live in. As a mom to a ten year old boy and step-mom to a thirteen year old girl I would have to discuss this with my kids before they read this book.
I feel that all parents should make an effort to keep up with some of the trends of what infulence our kids because of we are blinded by what our kids are reading and watching or even playing we are only fooling ourselves. Jun 01, Angela rated it it was amazing Shelves: After a rereading and think of this novel non-stop I've change it from a 4 star to a 5 star.
Witty, fast-paced, and unique it had me hooked the whole time, I just couldn't put it down, nor could I figure it out. Seventeen year old Hunter is a Trendsetter a person who looks for Innovators and their latest new-to-the-world never-been-done-before fashions. When Jen says something creative at the meeting, Hunter's fellow Trendsetters and his boss Mandy are thrown. This one seemingly minor moment throws Hunter's world into chaos and soon he and Jen are running for their lives.
A great mystery, while at the same time a thought-provoking look at advertising and trends, So Yesterday is a fun read that will make you lulz, fall in love with the cutie Hunter, and get you thinking. I would definitely recommend this novel to just about everyone. View all 3 comments. Apr 15, Melissa rated it it was ok. Mystery So Yesterday follows Hunter Braque, a trendsetter whose job it is to find the newest and coolest things to start a trend in the retail market. But then his boss goes missing and he and his crush Jen are thrown together in a hunt for answers. The premise is an interesting one, Hunter and Jen must find their way alongside a shady group whose aim is to force the downfall of consumerism.
However, the conveyance is somewhat lacking. The most annoying and at the same ti Melissa Wickelhaus Genre: The most annoying and at the same time interesting thing about this book is that the author has chosen to avoid using any brand names. So whenever a brand name comes up, Westerfeld provides just enough information to help the reader guess which product is being talked about without saying the name. This draws the reader into a guessing game and ends up taking away from the story itself.
Jun 04, Trin rated it liked it Shelves: Westerfeld is really good at creating interesting characters and putting them in exciting situations, and this works very well as a one-off. May 14, Colleen Venable rated it really liked it Shelves: It's not really about "cool". It's about art and knowing that anyone who says "it's all been done" is just too scared or, more likely, too lazy to try. Found myself crying like a big sap when reading the nonfiction "list of innovators" at the end.
Devoured it in two sittings. Totally underrated and if you are i It's not really about "cool". Totally underrated and if you are in the design or art or writing or science worlds it's pretty inspirational. The cover tried to go for "cool" vs graphic representation Almost as if the person who designed it didn't read the book inside the jacket. Dec 27, Cameo rated it liked it Recommends it for: This is the YA version of Pattern Recognition, basicly.
Where Gibson went a little too esoteric, Westerfeld stays sane and keeps to the action. Some major plot points regarding tech were a little too glaringly wrong for me to take seriously in some points, but overall, I think Westerfeld nails the allure and fun of coolhunting, and offers great use of lingo and philosophy. This book is much more fresh and youthful than PR, yet lacks the depth that made PR so eerie and futuristic. While this may sound negative, I'd actually highly recommend this book, I was laughing at the witty side notes and history lessons, and Westerfeld's highly developed sense of lingo, cultural awareness and youth are unparalleled.
Jun 12, Jen rated it it was amazing Shelves: Westerfeld's writing here is simply amazing: I couldn't put the book down until I'd read the entire thing in one sitting.

This is my at-work book for the week. Well, that didn't take long. It shares elements with a William Gibsonovel I enjoyed. Here's something I love about Westerfeld: Complications ensue, as do interesting hair June 30, Westerfeld is so fun to read.
Complications ensue, as do interesting hairstyles and outfits, amid a deep philosophical conversation about culture as exemplified by sneakers. An amusing romp, thoughtful, but never tedious. Jul 29, Laina rated it it was ok. Well, when I first started this book, I thought it was promising. The story seemed a lot like his other ones, but at least socially metaphorical. But then I lost interest I didn't ever see they point. I didn't understand the big deal. In short, I think it was pretty dumb. Unoriginal compared to all of Scott Westerfeld's other books, and a bit shallow actually.
However, I do really like Westerfeld's writing style That was all I really l Well, when I first started this book, I thought it was promising. That was all I really liked, though.
