This was just ok. It was a very quick read. The story was very cute and parts were very funny, but it wasn't the greatest book I've read this summer. If you only have a few credits I'd pass this up, but if you have some to spare this might be worth a read.

A cute, brainless book - great read when you need to get your mind off something but can't concentrate too hard on your book!

Quick, light read. Won't provoke much deep thought, but you'll enjoy it if you watch a lot of reality TV.

I read about 50 pages and couldn't get into it. It kept on losing me and I didn't feel like trying to figure it out.

Quick, funny chick-lit read.



This timely media spoof focusing on a parody of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" is read with style and aplomb by veteran narrator Mary Peiffer. Peiffer charges 30-something heroine Marcy Mallowitz with energy and emotion. When Marcy is dumped on live TV by her orthodontist boyfriend for giving him the wrong answer, she becomes a media darling, sought after by Diane Sawyer, Rosie O'Donnell, even Oprah Winfrey, and others. Fast-paced and funny, Samuels's story and Peiffer's performance team up to sweep listeners into today's frantic world in which the media creates TV stars out of ordinary people
