Review (Spoiler Alert):
So you probably right now are judging me a lot for reviewing this book, but well I found this book on my book shelf the other day and I am now getting rid of it. Before I do so though, I have decided on reviewing this book. Sadly I got this book a year ago, when I was trying to be something I wasn't and trying to fit into the norm of other young teenage girls. Well they all just loved Jersey Shore and so this book was a must-have. Now I can't be more embarrassed that I actually bought this book....anyways back to the review.
This book is obviously ghost written, I mean I highly doubt that a girl like Snooki would actually have the patience to write a feature-length novel. Yes I just wrote feature-length novel, but well the book is the average size of a normal novel. The thing that bugs me the most about this book though is that the cover is only focused on the "author" rather than the actual story itself. It's like if Stephen King wrote another novel and instead of talking about the actual contents of the novel all they wrote across the cover is STEPHEN KING followed by a small title about the book and then a GIANT picture of the author. It would make sense if the book was actually about Snooki, but it's not at all. Well if you replaced the name of the Gia character with the name Snooki than the novel would be about her.
The plot in the book is pretty simplistic and there really isn't any meaning too it. It's just about these two cousins spending the summer on Jersey Shore and trying to hook up with people...I'm serious. That's the entire story, there are a few other events that happen but it's all partying and hooking up. Just like the show, it really wasn't anything special. I recommend this book for people who want a simple book that has nothing at all too it, or people who like Jersey Shore. If you don't like Jersey Shore, don't read this book. It's like watching the show in your imagination. There is no difference.
