Summary: Enjoyable Read
Review: Wendy Holden entertains with her witty writing and, as I am a woman, I never feel so "girly" as I do when I read the tales of her heroines.
This portrayal isn't as clever as some of Holden's other protagonists but the pages fly by.

Summary: Another great read from my favorite British author!
Review: Wendy Holden has been my favorite since I read Bad Heir Day, and I've now read all of her books. Gossip Hound is just as funny and lighthearted as the rest of them, I'm happy to report. The characters are interesting and I loved the mean and nasty Belinda Black most of all. You can't go wrong with Wendy Holden, so if you're wondering whether this book is worth buying, I say YES!!

Summary: A glimpse into the literary world
Review: Wendy Holden's fourth book, "Gossip Hound" deals with Grace, who worked as a publicist for Hatto & Hatto, an obscure and struggling publishing company. Hatto & Hatto's authors never made it to the bestselling list, and this made Grace's job of securing decent publicity for the authors even more difficult. This was vivid in Grace's latest client, Henry Moon. From one blunder to another, Grace was convinced that her career, before it even began will end soon. An opportunity came when Grace was assigned to work with Red Campion, one of the hottest movie stars around. At the same time, Belinda Black, an unethical journalist was dying to get her hands on Campion for an interview which she was sure would make her the most sought after journalist in London. This is the fourth book of Holden that I have read. Holden has a unique of style of writing and her books are usually relatively fast-paced. "Gossip Hound" unlike "Bad Heir Day" is witty and funny. My only problem with this book is that, like Holden's other books, it is quite predictable. There is always one character like Belinda Black, who is arrogant, beautiful, unethical and annoying that appears consistently in all her books. In addition, each of her heroines is usually a pushover, meek and has an egoistic boyfriend. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy her books and her plots (with the exception of "Bad Heir Day") are fun and interesting. "Gossip Hound" is definitely different from other chick lits and I definitely enjoy the glimpses into the competitive literary world.
