Based on the blurb, I expected it to be far more interesting than it was. I spotted a few obvious Britney references, but I don't think the book revealed anything shockingly new - however, I'm not a fan of Britney so I don't really know for sure, all I know is that this book was a let down for me personally. But I'm sure it will sell well regardless. :)Bookalicious Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03811880304474779063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237074318510841576.post-73991718656014243452009-06-26T01:29:14.282+02:002009-06-26T01:29:14.282+02:00The author worked for Britney Spears for a long ti...The author worked for Britney Spears for a long time. If you've followed Spears closely through the years you'll find this book has major reveal sections throughout, like the whole Fred Durst fiasco to the breakup etc.<br /><br /> Yes, the grammatical errors bugged me too but I overlooked it because I thought the story was interesting. Knowing that this story is about Britney, It was nice to get to know what she was really like. I always figured her manager was probably the one pulling the strings all along when she was falling apart!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237074318510841576.post-3437841092407084242009-06-08T00:43:19.798+02:002009-06-08T00:43:19.798+02:00Oh, I see. I must say I'm quite surprised as I...Oh, I see. I must say I'm quite surprised as I felt that the book provided surprisingly little "behind the scenes" insight - there was faaaar more of that in Hollywood Car Wash. I'm quite surprised myself that the book was such a let down for me, but the more I try to think back and make some sense of it, I just can't. Plus I didn't find it entertaining at all, except for the occassional ghetto talk, but otherwise I didn't really make me chuckle, let alone laugh (thumbs down for that too). Maybe it's just me, who knows ... Either way, I'm looking forward to more reviews.<br /><br />As for covers - I know what you mean. I'm a sucker for beautiful covers and I've been disappointed so many times, but I still haven't learned my lesson (the plot may be useless, but at least the book looks pretty on my shelf, hehe). On the other hand, I think that a fantastic book with a beautiful cover is the perfect combination - as shallow as it sounds, the cover really adds to the whole impression of the book. :)Bookalicious Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03811880304474779063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237074318510841576.post-66093110561279045082009-06-07T23:51:43.376+02:002009-06-07T23:51:43.376+02:00They weren't so much reviews as "This boo...They weren't so much reviews as "This book is fabulous": http://chicklitreviews.wordpress.com/2009/05/16/book-news-pop-tart-by-kira-coplin-julianne-kaye/#comments<br /><br />I can't wait to read it to see how much I like it. I hope to get a hold of it at some point so I can review it! <br /><br />It's such a shame when books sound great and have great covers (like me with the Seven Year Itch - the cover is gorgeous and the synopsis on the back made it sound great) and it just completely disappoints. xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237074318510841576.post-58752972493771386762009-06-05T23:39:03.360+02:002009-06-05T23:39:03.360+02:00Hey!

I'm really curious what others loved about it. To me, it was just a pointless mess. I tried to like it and I still can't quite dislike it, I was just disappointed. Too many characters that hardly contributed anything to the story, too many boring events - it just didn't work for me, sadly. I can't say the book is bad, just expressing my opinion. :) I look forward to reading other reviews though, including yours. :)Bookalicious Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03811880304474779063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237074318510841576.post-54167468639694649292009-06-05T23:26:37.475+02:002009-06-05T23:26:37.475+02:00Hi!

This is the first bad review I've read of Pop Tart - and believe me, everyone so far seems to have raved about it! <br /><br />I still can't wait to read it but will have to ignore the grammatical errors - they drive me insane!<br /><br />Leah xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
