Pretty good, BUT the Danish soundbook had me moaning from time to time in frustration of the voice actress! A lot of the English words were prenounced in a Danish way and that is really sloppy work.
Also the book ends in a MAJOR cliffhanger I haven't seen in the earlier Shopaholic books. But hey - if you are a fan; read it

I really enjoy this series as a whole, but it took me a while to get into this one. Becky gets sucked into the hype of Hollywood (like we all knew she would), but a lot of it felt expected and some was especially ridiculous. I'll definitely read the next one. All the books have been open for the next in the series, but this one has more of a cliffhanger.

I can't help loving these books. They are utter fluff but such quick fun. I am looking forward to the next one in VEGAS. :)

Okay, this wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The ending is annoying, but I found myself more interested in the plot than I was in some of her last books. Maybe once the next one comes out and everything wraps up, this will bump up to four stars. For now, 3 stars because of the ending and because there's too much reliance on formula, which is getting old this far into the series.

Oh man, I don't even know how I'm going to type this review. Okay, so this is a reread and the first time I rated it 3 stars but after reading this again I'm downgrading it by one star. Shopaholic to the Stars just wasn't for me I guess. But don't worry I'm still going to finish out this series, I mean there's like one more book left? So I might as well finish that one.

While reading this book I did have a few laughs in the beginning because Becky is just so ridiculous. But throughout the book, she just does even more ridiculous things and just becomes even more selfish. It's like she doesn't even care about her friends or families feelings - it's just all about what she wants - and it's getting really annoying. I don't know how I've read seven of these books and I'm just now bringing this topic up. Also, I hate how she just constantly lies to the people she loves and how they just automatically forgive her just like that.

In the end, Becky's dream didn't seem like anything she wanted anymore. She wants to go find out where her dad and Suze's husband are and bring them back. I don't know why it took Becky twenty-three chapters to figure this all out but whatever I'm glad she's on the right path now.

I really hope the next book is a lot better.
