hungrylindsay's review against another edition
3.0
Like most story collections I've read, this one started strong and finished with a whimper. (I admit, though, that the only one to make me laugh out loud was the Conan O'Brien story, which was near the end.) I'm not sure if the stories were progressively less interesting, or if the shtick just wore thin after a while.
One final thought: I was horrified by the Lindsay Lohan story, where her mother consents to Lindsay being sexually abused as "punishment" for failing to get a role. Totally out of left field. The other stories, even when they were dark, felt good-natured. That one wasn't.
