Summary: how desperate can you get?
Review: it's hard to believe this drivel has been published, but i guess anyone with a gimmick and a title can get a deal these days. it's a sophmoric, obvious snore fest. Why should we care?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Charming yet scandalous at the same time.
Review: Jen Sincero is hilarious! That is all you need to know. Anyone who has spent anytime in the music industry (no matter how "small") can really relate to this story. Anyone who knows nothing about music will still love it! The characters are interesting, the plot is fun and the writing style is massively witty. I sat down and read the book in one night because I wanted to know what was going to happen next!
Knowing some of the story already and about Jen's music career prior to publishing the story (the parts that were more autobiographical anyways) makes it a bigger kick in the pants to read. (wink wink)
Congrats to you Jen for such a success!

Summary: Scathingly Brilliant
Review: My stars and garters.... Miss Sincero held me in her relentless
grip to the very end. It was JAWS meets IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.

On the first page she dedicates this book to her "excellent mom"
and then spends the next 30 pages dissing her... I am in love!!!

It's a splendid trot through the hot spots that pepper this
glorious globe of ours! An incandifferous attempt at turning
chicken caca into chicken salad! ...P>I LOVED this book. I can't wait for the next one.
I haven't laughed this hard since "Lust in the Dust"

"Don't sleep with your drummer" is spectacular... a hilarious
look at the music industry, secret love, overbearing parents,
and the staggering throb of best friends....

Santa Claus is coming to town....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book! But the photography smells.
Review: The story line of this book rocks! But who did the photography? I think there is a girl in San Francisco who can do a way better job of photographing the Queenie in her element!

photographically distraught,
anonymous

Summary: dreaming of rock stars
Review: This book is a must for those girls who's parents f*@#ed them up and who dream of rock stars. Even wannabe groupies will enjoy this book. It reminded me of my circle of friends and Jenny bore the strickingly same personality as my friend Mary Ann. The part about the Mary figure in her mother's front yard had me rolling on the floor laughing because not only was it funny but Mary Ann actually expierenced it. This book is hilarious and I found myself passing it around to my circle of friends. Despite being a book about becoming a Rock Star, this book is very relatable. Most of the time you'll find yourself comparing aspects of Jenny's life and memories to your own.

Summary: THIS BOOK SHOULD BE A MOVIE!
Review: This book is funny, insightful, introspective, and a true adventure. I couldn't put it down. The character development was masterful; rather than having an indepth description the characters' psyches rammed down your throat, the reader gets to know and understand each one by what they say and do, and how they interact with the main character. This, together with the fact that the book provides a great satirical look inside the music industry, makes it perfect for a movie. I hope that's where it goes!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You Wish You Were This Funny
Review: This is laugh out loud funny writing - not just some dopey chick book. The characters all have texture. The language is whip smart. There's core drama that keeps you turning the pages. And great images -- "The building was eerily silent when I walked in. As terrifying as I find the death rock band across the hall, it's almost more upsetting when their not jamming and I'm alone. At least when they're making noise, you know where they all are. If it's silent, they could be lurking around every conrer. Or hanging by their feet from the ceiling of their practice space sleeping with their wings wrapped tightly around their bodies."

Much more where that came from. You'll be a 60 Foot Queenie fan.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Bust a gut funny
Review: This semi-autobiographical novel is filled with the eccentric characters that inhabit the low rungs of the music scene. The bit where Our Heroine winds up tutoring not only her bassist, but several of his classmates in order to secure permission from his mother for him to play gigs is screamingly funny. Ms. Sincero has a good ear for dialogue. This is an excellent train or bus book, as it rewards the reader with humour, but it is put-downable.
