Did not care for this book already wrote a review
Odd book about reality t.v. Show ,that gets out of control.
Half my interest all the way througg
I didn’t run across too many surprises in this book; the end was pretty much as I expected from the start. I found the characters unpleasant, without exception. I kept reading hoping for an upturn, but just felt grimy and cheated at the end (not so different from TV’s reality shows).
Give it a chance, slow at first, a bit strange, but good.
I enjoyed the book.
Too unbelievable as to how the characters acted. Not enough information at the end of the story.
Too many obvious holes in the plot. I couldn’t finish fast enough so I could read something else.
It was hard to follow and had lots of disagreeable characters. No happy ending
I didn’t care for the writing style, and found the story line predictable
Easy to read, although pretty predictable. It did not inspire me to want to read other books by the author. Wasn’t bad, just not my genre.
Very slow moving. Main character is lack luster and not really likeable. I was very disappointed.
