The Fame Game

The Fame Game by Lauren Conrad
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lc has another series and I am hoping to gobble it up just like I did with her LA Candy series. The main character of the book seems to be Madison, (from LA Candy), but I think there will be a shift as the series progresses so that the true main character is Kate. This book really captures that Hollywood is the place to go for fame but who knows whether you've got what it takes. Lying, deceit, deception, body augmentation, the list goes on for those that hope to make it. The biggest point being the connections one has. If you don't know anyone good luck because your journey is going to be 20 times harder. This book was similar to the show the Hills but the new characters were different and I cannot peg who Lc would have them reflect from the series. A quick and easy read with drama, romance, and gossip. In some cases this is almost better then the Tv show, but since there is no more Hills to watch it's definitely a good replacement.

Darkly Dreaming Dexter

Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I thought this would be more graphic and in depth in the murder situations. And it never really got to the detail I was hoping for. Dexter in the book kind of is a mysterious but also kind of a bumbling fool with spurts of very great ideas. I didn't like any of the characters and I felt that I was dragging my eyes while trying to keep reading to the end. I tried reading it, finished reading it but won't be reading another one.

Inferno

Inferno by Dan Brown
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I was really eager to read this book and I liked the first 200-250 pages, after that the book just went splat. I am not a Robert Langdon fan to begin with but that's not why I chose to read the book. I found what Robert and Sienna were able to accomplish in such a short time frame unbelievable and unreasonable. I really liked Sienna's character and she is much more dynamic then that of Langdon's character......(Brown should really consider making Sienna his lead character instead of Langdon. Sienna has so many different layers and types of knowledge, it would be nice to see how she would handle and explore critical situations.) Needless to say, when I found out what the contagion was I was very disappointed and just did not have the passion to finish the book quickly. Quite often it would put me to sleep. I was hoping for a more disastrous virus, something that would be really interesting and have me flying through the pages, but nope.....major let down.

Boo, Dan Brown, Boo!
