Book review: Psychos: A White Girls Problems Book

Title: Psychos: A White Girls Problems Book
Author: Babe Walker
Rating: 1 out of 5 stars

Summary:  Babe Walker is fresh out of rehab and looking to get her life back. She has the luxury of endless money, so this book is about her post-rehab adventures. 

Review: I felt a lot better about disliking this book when I read in People magazine that Britney Spears loved it, although I'm not sure I believe she actually read it.  I don't really see Britney as much of a reader.  I digress.  As I mentioned in my review on You Should Have Known, I'm getting a little tired of reading about characters that are rich and don't have to work.  This is a mocu-memoir (If that's not already a real word then I'm making it up right now), I think.  I'm pretty sure this person isn't real but is some persona that somebody made up.  But again, I'm becoming older and out of touch, so...who knows.

Perhaps this is a sign that I'm getting old, but I didn't really get this book.  In fact, I started reading it awhile ago but then put it down because I couldn't get into it.  I like to think I have a pretty good sense of humor but I didn't really find this book that funny.  All I kept thinking was, "she would be more interesting if she didn't get bailed out all the time".  To Walker's credit, she has a blog too, which I enjoyed more than this book.  But not enough to provide any sort of link on this review.  

Book review: Clever Girl (DNF)

Title: Clever Girl
Author: Tessa Hadley
Rating: 1 out of 5 stars

Summary:  This story follows Stella's life from her childhood with her mom into...adulthood?  I'm not sure how far the book goes into Stella's life.  I gave up on the book about a third of the way in.

Review:  This book wasn't unreadable, it just wasn't very interesting.  Thus the Did Not Finish (DNF) status.  I read about a hundred pages and just...lost interest.  It could be my mood.  Maybe I'll revisit it one day...
