Review # 1 was written on 2011-12-12 00:00:00 Matthew Boston The problem with writing a book that is topical is that things change and so when people pick the book up years after it was written there are references that just seem ill-advised. There were references in this book to Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Affleck being a couple (wow! We all know how that turned out), references about Survivor, Temptation Island-esque shows, Who Wants to Be A Millionaire, and lots of digs about Bill Clinton (what? We're still making fun of him?!) The author also kept referencing Darva Conger but never explained about her - I had to go to Wikipedia because who can remember the people who were "famous" for 2 minutes. I don't recommend this book because it is too outdated and the story wasn't strong enough, in my opinion, to fight through the past. There were a lot of liberties taken (such as the episode appearing on the same day they taped, the news media being SO nice to her, and everything coming together so nicely without ANYONE trying to take advantage of her situation which just doesn't happen in LA) and to me it just didn't hold water.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-03-18 00:00:00 Mark Morehouse Over all I think that this was a good book. Although this wasn't my taste in books I figured to try something out for once and it wasn't bad at all. This book was about a famous star(Marcy Mallowitz) who suddenly gets all of her money, relationship, and family away. All she has is her fame, but it's just about how her sweetheart dumped her. This bad attention gets other celebrities attention like Rosie O'Donnel, Oprah Winfrey, and Diane Sawyer. When Marcy looks for comfort with her family her mother doesn't care about her true feelings, but rather about her break up with her ex-boyfriend and is always pissed off at her. This book shows a true interest in a falling movie star and how they have to deal with reality. Although this book is not for everybody it shows that nothing is impossible without help, it shows the true meaning of being a "lone wolf."
