"Why do my nipples hurt? was Star's first thought as she woke from a strangely deep sleep, her hands gliding along her naked body to the tender nipples that had awakened her. She winced as she made contact, realizing only belatedly that she was naked. Star tried to open her eyes but couldn't; the room was too bright. She raised her hand to shield her view, only to be blinded by a huge diamond ring that hadn't been on her finger when she went to sleep."

NEED I SAY MORE!!!

You choose to read a "novel" by Pam Anderson, you don't go in looking for literary genius or scintillating drama and intrigue. I gave it three stars for the laughs I got; intended or not it is pretty amusing. Fluff, fluff and more pathetic fluff, but that was exactly what I was expecting.

I know, I know, why did I read this in the first place? I didnt even think the first was was worth a review, I just marked it 2 stars and got on with my life. So why am I reviewing this one? Why did I read it at all?

The second question is endlessly more complicated than the first. Chalk it up to growing up poor and not wasting anything, or a minor compulsive type work ethic to finish anything I start. It probly didnt hurt that it was under 200 deckle edged double spaced pages, and both of these were already in my bookcase.

As far as why I am reviewing it, it was just sooooo bad. The writing, never stellar in the first was terrible in this one. It went from a semi-believable mild fictionalization of real-ish people and events, to a bad coke trip. For example, where star is a peacenik who just bangs everyone in a 25 mile radius in the first one, in the second she is faithful to one guy, and oh yeah, becomes a paparrazzi serial killer. That is to say her and Jimi tommy Lee Deeds, kill multiple paparrazzi in turn, not that they shoot photos of celebrities, and kill people.

If the writing wasnt bad enough, the content was so self-indulgent - A big movie company is evil because they expect you to show up and do your job? THE HORROR. Get over yourself. One of the things that made the first one a little bearable was star played the loveable dork, willing to work, and not complain, or take any of that celebrity entitlement seriously.

Cap off the book with the fact that whoever edited it must have been doing it for the first time, and possibly for free. Awkward sentences abound, some with no noun, some with no verb. Some without spaces after the period. I can handle bad fiction, but bad editing is inexcusable. Presumably, at some point, people were payihg for this book (I got mine from my own bookstore years ago) so it should have at least gotten a professional editing.

Other than that it was okay ;-Þ

Just like the last one, Cheesy..

[Jude · Rating 2 out of 5]

Titillating, but delivers no satisfying payoff. Recommended only for those who want to read the equivalent of a very long, routinely mundane, letter to Penthouse forum.

[Anna · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hysterically funny and total trailer park. Pamela Anderson should write more fiction.

[Erin · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was an ok read for Friday around the pool. It was very predictable until the end and really seemed like more of a memoir than a story but I liked it none the less. It was a little trashy but I guess the summer read for lounging around does not always have to be the most intellectual. If you have a lot of books on the to read list then you may not want to waste your time but if you need some mindless entertianment then give this a try.

[Flora · Rating 2 out of 5]

Infinitely juicier than "Star," because it's clearly about her whirlwind romance-marriage-on-the-beach-after-three-drug-and-sex-fueled-days with Tommy Lee. Ridiculous and contemptible and an enjoyable enough hour's read.

[Amanda · Rating 3 out of 5]

I didn't want to like this book. I really didn't.

[Emily · Rating 3 out of 5]

definitely not as good as the first one. i had to force myself to keep reading because at some points i wanted to flip thru 10 pages just to skip the zzzzz factor.

[Jennifer Reierson · Rating 1 out of 5]

horrible! I was really curious about Pam's first book, Star, and was surprised that I actually enjoyed it. The follow up is just awful--save your time and read something else. You won't miss much here!

[Jeanette · Rating 2 out of 5]

Basically this is a book about Pamela Anderson. The names have been changed, but its so obvious who shes referring to that she shouldve just kept them.

The first sentence of the book starts "Why do my nipples hurt?"

Pamela Anderson wrote it. Need I say more?

[Emma Carter · Rating 4 out of 5]

loved reading Star and couldn't wait to read this sequel. I am a Pammy fan so of course i loved this. I wouldn't recommend this book to those who don't like what the have seen of Pam Anderson as a celebrity

[Sally]

I literally do not care this series is ghostwritten and has a lower average review than freakin' Mein Kampf, I DEMAND a third tome dealing with the fallout of all the batshit insanity that last chapter dropped on us like huge tracts of land.

[Brandy · Rating 1 out of 5]

What a waste of time. Pam should stick to acting...well, I really don't know what she should stick too, but writing is not her specialty!!!

[Jen · Rating 3 out of 5]

The sequel to Star. She kills herself and the Tommy Lee character off at the end of this one. I guess I can't look forward to any more books from P. Anderson.

Terrible! Both Star Struck and Star....Terrible!

Beach reading

[Daniel Brockhan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Anderson lives in two worlds. In one she is innocent, on the other she is wild. The problem is these two worlds are in tension. In the real world Anderson's movie flopped at the box office... and instead of a video of them killing someone, it was sex tape that was coped and released. And the ending of this book, instead of her marriage ending - she went all Thelma and Louise, driving off a cliff with him. Despite these things - overall the book it still ok. Not as good as the first. I will be interested down the road to read her new book and see what things are the same, similar, and different from the story of "Star".

[diz · Rating 3 out of 5]

not sure if I enjoyed this one more or less than the first one? The ending was not at all what I expected… yet at the same time, a good way to end it. I thought the story was gonna go further along in the timeline. I think I did like this one more overall.
