Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: funny Review: This was pretty funny. I liked the story about a comic book seller who's a con. It's called Stan Lee Is Not Dead.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: I loved reading it and hope she'll do an audio tape Review: Very well written, entertaining, great achievement for such a young woman. The cominbation of her youthful romances and work as a private investigator is totally absorbing; she is so bright, honest, funny, and observant, I can't wait for more from Amy.
Rating: ![1 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-1-0.gif) Summary: WHY BOTHER Review: What a pile of poorly written, tree wasting self-indulgent trash. Why bother.
Rating: ![1 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-1-0.gif) Summary: obnoxious Review: What should have been a quick, breezy read -- cover looks cute, story seems fun and lighthearted -- is instead sluggish and cliched, with the author desperately trying to interest readers in her exasperatingly dull personal life and even duller work (it's like being a P.I., only not as cool, apparently).So much of this book is obviously not true that Ms. Gray may as well have just written a novel and been done with it. All the characters are stereotypes that are just ludicrous when not also offensive and borderline racist. The exception is the narrator, of course, the Carrie Bradshaw wannabe who always has a bon mot for every occasion and even though she's clearly a pampered, snotty rich kid to the ends of her fingers, tries to pass herself off as truly unique and not a caricature like the rest of the unfortunates depicted here. Maybe some heart was revealed somewhere, but I have to admit to skimming about a third of this one. Boring and trite, a poor start to a career in writing.
