SRP 2012 REVIEW: I thought the characters were too stereotyped and rather flat. The plot was all over the place and quite odd. I was disappointed because I like the author's previous books, and this one just did not seem like her writing style.

SRP 2012 REVIEW: This book satirizes American culture today, particulary its obssession with appearances and celebrities. It's punctuated by hilarious commercial breaks and "Messages from Your Sponsors".

SRP 2011 REVIEW: I love this book. It is so twisted and unrealistic its amazing. I think it's a great summer read and is very funny. SO, there is a Corporation plane that crashes with a bunch of beauty queens onboard. It crashes on this deserted island where they start to learn to live on their own without makeup and medicine and razors. They also come to find out who they truly are and not just the pagent girl on the outside. This is a long book. It does have a lot of action and intresting parts though. This book contains profanity, the topic of sexuality, and some very random things. I recommend this book to any girl in high school. TRULY A FUN READ :)
