Rating:  Summary: if you've heard one, you know the story of most bands... Review: After hearing what a great read this book was, I was really excited about reading it. However, once into the book, I found myself dragging..I kept putting it down and finding other things to do. She had alot to work with but it somewhere just lost its excitement. It was interesting to see how the band was courted by the music industry and then what happened with the release of the demo.The story is great, but there is something about the book, maybe the way it was written, that makes it fall a little flat. Somewhere after her daring haircut and meeting Flowers, it just kinda lost the "spark". I was truly bummed out cause it seemed like it would be a fun read. For those new to rock and roll life styles, then read this book. If you've ever watched VH1's Behind the Music, then you basically can pass on this one.

Rating:  Summary: Bridget Jones' Diary Is [Nothing] Next to Jen's Review: Cool, hip, fun, funny, awkward, real, and touching. Do yourself a favor and pick it up. You won't be disappointed...
Rating:  Summary: It's great Review: I could hardly put the book down. This book is a very detailed insight into the mind of a young girl trying to start a rock band. It is written as a journal depicting all of the tourmoils, triumphs and adventure that she goes through to take her life from boring to exciting. I reccommend this book to anyone who ever wished they were in a rock band, tried to start a rock band or has an intrest in music
Rating:  Summary: A wonderful read Review: I have often dreamt of being a rock star. I have even been in a few bands so clearly this book rings true for me. However, the characters are great. The style is loose and easy to get into. I read the book in one day. It made me laugh out loud and remember with slight sadness the heartaches I have felt. This is more than worth your time if you have ever had a dream and your parents thought you were crazy or you thought you were in control but really weren't.
Rating:  Summary: WOW. Review: I LOVED this book. I found it halarious from beginning to middle to end. The characters were very well developed, and the journal-style entries made for a fun read. What an exciting glimpse into the music industry. I should also mention that unlike the previous two reviewers, I actually do not know the author. (It would be real interesting to know what terrible things she has done to 'NY Reader' in the past.) ha ha
Rating:  Summary: Amazing book Review: I picked this book up because of its strange out-of-focus cover. (I have never heard the expression "Don't judge a book by its cover") It waited in my apartment for a couple of weeks and one day I decided to pick it up. A day later I was done with the book. It's a great read and it was great to live vicariously through Jenny. It is an honest read. I would recommend the book to anyone who ever dreamed of being a rock star.

Rating:  Summary: Hilarious and brilliant! Review: It's about time someone exposed the music industry for the hell hole it is and band life for the soap opera it is! This book was laugh out loud funny, insightful, touching, and romantic! Oh yeah, and really well written. I've been in bands for years and this is the first time I've read anything that does all the craziness justice. I loved all the characters too. I miss them now that I'm done with the book! Bravo.
