Summary: Fantastic Fun
Review: I have a long drive to work and have gotten into the habit of checking out audio books from the library. I was so pleasantly surprised by this book. I laughed out loud (in my car), actually cried at two different points (in my car); it was a blast to listen to, I didn't want it to end!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bloody awful!
Review: I'm a fan of all kinds of books and can usually say something nice about them (even the ones I didn't particularly like). In a nutshell: I didn't even finish this book. I didn't want to finish the book! It's supposed to be a witty story of an "IT-girl" type heroine who wants to land a husband. However, the way it was written makes you not care about the protagonist. This story was written pretentiously with over-the-top descriptions about people "in the biz," and many side comments about people in the book (in parenthetical form) that make you just want to roll your eyes at them. It was very hard to like this book, the characters in them, or to even find the story remotely interesting. Thank goodness I borrowed it from the library and didn't buy it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Takes me Back
Review: No matter how empty you may call it- this book is so true its not even funny. My husband lived in LA, and all he told me about was how empty-minded and unconsciously evil everyone in Hollywood is. I really truely didnt beleieve him untill we went there, this book isnt supposed to give you some advice for life, or have strong characters. The setting the book is given is how the story and characters follow. My husband lived in a "non-talent actors warhouse" and everything in the story is true, be it disturbing. I laughed hard with this book, and it was for me, a breath of fresh smog. I give it one enthusiastic thumb up!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not worth the required effort...
Review: Only rarely have I not finished reading every page of a chosen novel, but this uninteresting story with uninteresting characters has become one of those instances. Thankfully, it must be returned to the library, and I can finally start reading something worthwhile.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boring
Review: The main character reminded me of a Monica Lewinsky wanna-be. If you want a good read, try Trading Up. I wish I'd checked out Maneater from the library. Too bad.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Make no mistake, This is Chick Lit.
Review: Based on the hype, I was expecting a well-written novel with some depth, in the vein of Candace Bushnell/Laura Zigman, and instead what I got was something that could have just as easily been a Little Red Dress Ink property.

The characters aren't anything close to loveable, the trite cliches are not just peppered throughout the book, they are poured over every conversation that takes place.

PLEASE don't waste your time with this. Read "Trading Up" or "Cooking for Mr Latte" or "Family Trust" instead.

Summary: Maneater
Review: This book was beyond bad. In fact, it may be the worse book I have ever read and I have read a lot of books. The plot was lacking and total idiotic, the characters were cliched and truly loathsome and worse of all, the editing was non-existent. I have heard this book described as fun and light and instead argue that it is torturous to read. I truly believe the only reason this book was published was because of the author's married name. It just goes to show that in Hollywood it's not about one's talent but about the talent they marry.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Moralistic Tone-Ambitious but Empty
Review: Hello, if this book had been written by anyone else it would be hardly noticed. The writing is awful, a 1 out of 5, and the plot is very empty. There is a lot of talk about things that already happened, a girl decides love is what she wants after all, and there is a moralistic ending.

Cue Christian romance novels.
In Christian romance novels of the 50's there was always an evil girl or boy and one was redeemed at the end.
Explicit sex followed by a moralistic tone?
Feed it to 12 year olds.

You will only be entertained if you are under 20.
Everyone has been there and done that.
The writing is really awful. ...

Summary: Funny stage for a hilarious comedy
Review: Hoolywood and Los Angeles entirely contemplated from a woman's point of view, and not any woman, but a young woman who wants to marry a rich man. Her theory about that manhunt, her practice of that sport, her prey and her hunting technique that leads her to a quick marriage and a quick pregnancy. Unluckily she did not check who the man really was and accepted who he was supposed to be. Of course he is not who he is supposed to be and this leads to a tremendous imbroglio. The book is funny, extremely funny and positively optimistic. The author does believe in love and does believe love can survive any small or big detail that may be thought as capable of pooping the party. In other words, this book is not - and it does not pretend to be - very deep about women or Los Angeles. It is a vivid and dynamic picture of the scene and the action that takes place on that scene, or shouldn't I say that stage. Entertaining and relaxing.
