Summary: Eye Opener... Not All Bad :)
Review: It was an interesting book... it kept my attention, made me laugh a couple times, and it also made me realize the shallowness of Hollywood; and how painstaking it is to get to the top! Definitely something out of the ordinary to read, well-written... not exactly the most uplifting book, but what would you expect from a book about the "glamorous" life? ;)

Summary: Helpful and hilarious
Review: It's a laugh-out-loud book with truly helpful advice about becoming famous. Now, if only I had their connections! It was really funny and I couldn't put it down until I had read the last page. My only hope is that they quote me in their next book! Thanks girls and keep writing!

Summary: A How To Book Of Another Kind ---- Fun and Full of Laughs
Review: Love Gossip? Love Reading About What's New and Cool? Love finding out about the lives of the rich and famous? Well --- you don't have to wonder and dream any longer. There is a huge user's guide to "making it" on the A-List. Freelance writers, Melissa de la Cruz and Karen Robinovitz have expanded their Marie Claire magazine article into a hilarious and really witty tale of becoming famous for no reason and being the new names on everyone's lips. With mentions in all the New York papers and even a magazine or two ---- these girls have mastered the art of Manolo Blahniks, Bungalow 8 and getting into all the hippest restaurants without even having to sell their soul to the devil (we think). These women have a gift for writing and their sense of humor is the stuff of ...well... not quite legend, but sure is funny and a great trip into the world of New York socialites. Loved this book and recommend it to anyone looking for a great and easy treat. Cheers!

Summary: True Confessions from a co-author
Review: My true confession is that I have not read this book; however, I saw Melissa on television talking about it. She stated that one of the things she did was give the book an effusive review right here on Amazon. I appreciated her honesty. It confirmed my suspicions regarding a lot of the book and music reviews here.
An amusing lady. Look to the other reviewers for opinions on the book and be a little wary of five star reviews.

Summary: HILARIOUS!
Review: Such a tongue-in-cheek, celebratory, ironic look at life in the fame lane. These girls really get it and offer the most laugh-riot tips for pulling the wool over society's eyes and making yourself into a star. Becoming famous, especially today, in the age of reality tv and hot blooded hotel heiresses who are famous for nothing more than wearing short skirts, is a bona fide business - and Melissa and Karen show you how to manipulate the system and grab the limelight. J'adore!

Summary: Have you ever heard of the authors? I haven't.
Review: The fact that I have never heard of either of the authors should have been my first clue as to how ineffective their techniques are. Throughout the book so many names are dropped that the reader nearly trips over them at every turn. How are those of use who don't know Michael Musto and the like supposed to apply the advice of these two authors? The fact that they do have friends in high places and still couldn't become well-known speaks volumes. There is, in truth, very little advice contained in this book. It is mostly filled with anecdotes of the authors' exploits with very few practical tips for fame-seekers. In the authors' quest for fame they missed the mark. It wasn't fame that they achieved, but rather the ability to be anonymous free-loaders.

Summary: J'ADORE!
Review: The perfect escape from reality, this book will teach you how to find your red carpet moment and inner celebrity diva. The authors reveal their hilarious tales of success and failure as they attempt to grab the limelight, which is not just about who you know, apparently, but who you pretend to know. If you ever wanted to walk the red carpet and have a bit of glamour in your life - even if it means getting the best table at the crowded restaurant and living in a community where everyone knows you and wants to befriend you - read this and read it now. You will laugh nonstop. It's also a very poignant and smart commentary on society in today's age of reality tv and people who are famous just for being famous. A MUST!

Summary: Entertaining in a "Jerry Springer" /AnnaNicoleSmith way
Review: This over-the-top memoir of the glamorous slash grueling experiences of two narcissistic women left me satisfied as a reader. While I felt my stomach curl at passages describing how they sent fancy invitations to A-listers while sending el cheapo e-vites to their close friends, I still managed to enjoy reading about it, similar to the way I like watching Anna Nicole Smith make a complete idiot of herself on national television.

Summary: A truly fabulous read!
Review: Those who dismiss "K.Ro" and "Mel-DLC's" book as trite or annoying are so gouche -- and maybe a little jealous that these two were able to bootstrap up the ladder! The book is hilarious and a total confidence-booster, as you leave the book feeling, "Hey, I can do this! I can be famous!" You'll be designing your exclusive calling cards inside the back cover and snickering as you remember Melissa's crashing-the-bachelor party story or the story of the ladies' run-in with another fame-seeker, a dentist, who didn't quite leave the best impression. Do not listen to the one-star-ers or the "three barely flickering star" reviewers! This is an awesome read and definitely worth the time!

Summary: What a load of nonsense
Review: What garbage. Save your money. Don't even bother browsing through it at the bookstore. Whoever said in an earlier review that all the five star ratings were written by the authors themselves is spot on; the book is not clever, insightful, or even tongue-in-cheek cute. What's more these ladies are not glamorous, famous or even beautiful -- just desperate. If you're really dying to get on Page Six (yechh!) all you need to do is steal a celebrity's shoes or underwear . . . or worse (just ask Andrew Cunanan). So a couple of haggish, self-aggrandizing neurotics got to wear some nice jewelry and get written about in the newspaper? Who cares?
