Summary: best contemporary trash i've ever read
Review: I am usually a reader of murder mysteries and just happened to pick up this book. Without a double this is the best contemporary trash i have ever read. finished it in no time, laughing myself silly through the entire read. Several of my friends have recently become seriously ill and i have bought them copies of this book - they all report how it helped take their minds off of the illnesses. I have probably bought over 2 dozen copies of this book to give to family and friends. I hand it over with the words "enjoy - it's a terrific ride!". Thanks Olivia Goldsmith. This was the best book you've written so far - although Bookseller wasn't bad either.

Summary: Another Winner From Goldsmith
Review: I didn't think I could like any book of Goldsmith's as much as "Best Seller" but this novel is every bit as good. The primary character, Mary Jane, cannot get ahead in the acting world due to her looks despite her considerable talent. She thus transforms herself via extensive plastic surgery to Jahne and her acting opportunities at last open up. Or do they? Remember that adage of "Be careful what you wish for," for Jahne faces a whole new set of problems. Two other primary characters are two other women she acts with on a series, one on the run from murder and the other on the run from her aging but leading lady star mother. If you love Hollywood sagas, this one is a doozy!

Summary: i wish i could give six stars!
Review: i have never finished such a long book so fast-i whizzed through 800 pages as if they had caught on fire! the scenes were hot and delishously juicy and what an ending i didnt see that one coming! well all i can say is that it is such a summer read! while lying under the starz or under the sun its a must-have for a sizzling vacation! it was so wonderfully provacotive and sexy-but it was also a wonderfull insight to the way hollywood REALLY works everything in there usually happens well not those xact things but the same process--all i can say is WOW!

Summary: This is one book I don't loan (I'm afraid I won't get it bac
Review: I have read Flavor of the Month recently for the second time. Both times were in the summer when I needed something that I didn't have to think about, that was exciting, This book fit the bill. It is large, but I flew through the pages and was dissapointed when it was over. I pride myself on being able to figure out hidden meanings and pick up on endings, but this book totally surprised me! I am usually a literary snob who sticks to the classics and was a bit ashamed to be reading this one, but it really kept me interested and entertained. What is wrong with that?

Summary: One of the Best of the best
Review: I have read many books in my lifetime and very few of them have entertained me as much as this book has. This is by far one of the best books i have EVER read. I woould recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a novel that is engaging and hard to put down.
Rating:
Summary: Fast paced
Review: I have read this book twice. It is the perfect beach book - it does not require a deep philisophical committment - fast-paced story that while far-fetched kept me hooked until the very end. I read it before attempting to watch the "Crying Game" - I fell asleep during that movie but never while reading Goldsmith's book!
Rating:
Summary: Trashy but fun
Review: I know what you may be saying...you never read these type of books. Treat yourself to a guilty pleasure. Flavor of the Month deals with this simple idea, we live in an age where beauty can be bought, and if bought does it really make a difference. The book was engaging I flew through it in about two days. Since reading it, I've loaned it out to friends who remove the cover jacket so as not to be seen reading it, but pretty soon their recommending it themselves.

Summary: Very entertaining read but evil, hateful characters
Review: I liked reading this book very much. I'm on my second read now and the first time I read it, I could hardly put it down. But it's unique to me in that I've never read a book where almost all the characters were so unlikeable. I even wanted to smack the nice girls, Jahne and Sharleen, for just acting stupidly. Evertime I would feel sympathy for a character, they would start acting hateful(Neil Morelli), and I thought Sam was just dispicable. But nobody was worse than queen bitch supreme Lila Kyle. I have never seen such an entitled, self-centered, crazy, and all around mean character, and yet once in a while, I had to admire her ability to get what she wanted. It was a real eye-opener to read a book where there were really not many characters to root for, but I guess that's what intrigued me about it the first time. It kind of turned my expectations upside down, and that wasn't a bad thing.
Rating:
Summary: Pretty good but not her best.
Review: I liked the character Mary Jane but wasn't crazy about some of the others (Lila Kyle and especially her mother, Charlene and her brother and don't even get me started on Candy and Skinny). Parts of this one were a little too far out there for me. Still like all of Ms. Goldsmiths books I couldn't put it down and ended up reading it more than once.
