Josie and the Pussycats is the best movie ever! As I tell all my friends, and even embroidered onto a hat.

The book is a very fast read, as I'm sure it was catered more to childrens' reading levels.
Regardless, it is a lot of fun to immerse yourself into this world more than a movie is able to do and the fun Cabot & Cabot Inc. advertisement for the band at the end as well as tips for creating a rock band and a quiz to find out which Pussycat would be your BFF are some fun extras!

josie and the pussycats is the best book ever! JOIN THE ARMY!

this was so much fun to read. it is literally a one-to-one novelization of the original screenplay, including a few minor details, that you can tell were left on the cutting room floor from the final movie.

movie novelizations might be my new special interest. these little mass market paperback cash grabs are so quirky.

Fun! Written not entirely without style, although there isn't much of it. I wish there had been a little more about Melody. I love these girls!
