At least it's cheaper than the hardcover
2 of 2 found this helpful This is the story of Star Wood Leigh, a naïve, small-town girl who finds fame and fortune through a series of purely coincidental, unplanned events. Chapter one is interesting enough - a fairly cute intro with a gratuitous lesbian encounter thrown in as a hook. But unfortunately for Star, the line between being naïve and being too-dumb-to-live gets crossed too many times, and her story quickly turns from cute to just plain stupid. After the first few chapters I put this book down several times and walked away for days on end as it became increasingly (for lack of a better word) lame.
The story takes a major downhill slide when Star arrives in Hollywood, at which time wealthy men throw themselves at her, she lands television roles without even trying, and sleeps with every guy in town. In short, we have a hollow character who is ridiculously beautiful, with ridiculous good fortune, who ends up ridiculously rich and famous. Nothing bad ever happens to her, unless you want to count her disappointment in the outcome of her breast augmentation surgery (I'm not kidding here).
This novel has been described as semi-autobiographical, which translates to an autobiography in which the famous names and television shows have been changed to laughable substitutes, like her becoming the "Hammer Time Girl" and the star of "Lifeguards, Inc." Really, if Pamela Anderson wanted to write a memoir, she should have just done it, and spared us this silliness.
I might have been willing to say "nice attempt by a celebrity author," if not for the fact that a ghostwriter put this mess together. Knowing that a presumed professional was responsible for the prose makes it all the more embarrassing. There were times when I wanted to rip my hair out from the bad grammar and painfully redundant use of certain words and phrases. If this novel didn't have a celebrity named attached to it, I doubt it would have ever been published. It's just that awful.

It could have been worse (barely)

I actually bought this book based on some positive reviews I had seen in respected publications. Now I have to wonder if those reviewers actually read the book, or were simply giving two thumbs up to the naked photo of Pam on the inside of the dust cover, which is probably the single best reason for buying the thing.

Fabulous cult classic.
A rock opera based on the stories of "Phantom of the Opera" and "Faust," this film is a brilliant and often hysterical send-up of the music industry during the rise of glam rock. Great characters, and an amazing soundtrack by Paul Williams (who is delightfully sinister in his portrayal of "Swan"). This is Brian DePalma at his finest! A must see for horror/fantasy fans.
