Book Reviews of As Seen on TV
Book Review: Not going to give up on Mlynowski yet....
Summary: 3 Stars
'AS SEEN ON TV' is the first book by Sarah Mlynowski that I have read but I have heard great things about her other books. Before I purchased 'ASOT' I noticed that some of its reviews were less than stellar but the books premise had me hooked. As a reality TV fan (yes, I admit it!) I was interested to see how Mlynowski would intergrate that world into an average twenty-something's normal life. She did an OK job and some parts of this book were very funny but my major gripe with this book and the reason I can only give it three stars is that I hated Sunny! Sunny, the main character, wasnt very likeable in the begining and by the end she was a total...you get my point. Moreover, as some of the other reviewers stated many of the secondary characters were not properly developed in my opinioin. I would have loved to know more about Sunny's co-star Michelle, her friend Carrie and maybe even her dad.
However, in the end the book was somewhat entertaining and very funny at parts, so since many people have said that this is not Mlynowski's best I am not going to give up on her yet. I plan to read 'MILKRUN' and 'MONKEY BUSINESS' and then I will decide if this author is worth my reading time.
Book Review: Sarah strikes again!
Summary: 5 Stars
I fell in love with Sarah with Milkrun. Fishbowl wasn't the greatest of follow-up books, so I was a tad leery of As Seen on TV. Still, the girl can write first person like nobody's business, so I bought ASOTV sight unseen.
I was pleased, to say the least.
For those who love (or hate!) reality tv, this is the book for you. It's hilarious, heartfelt, serious, lighthearted, romantic, cynical, and lovely! This book has it all, and it's spread like creamy butter over warm bread.
A DEFINATE MUST for chick-lit fans. Read Sarah and you'll never go back!
Book Review: So So...
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is not that good. But, her other books were very, very good! "Milk Run" was the funniest book I have ever read! I loved it. She is a great writter. Don't miss the other two if you haven't already read them. Especially milk Run. It was sooooo funny.
This one.....eh, not that great.
Book Review: Pure Trash

I know that Sarah is young and just getting going. But she needs a wakeup call. Garbage graphic fiction. I am very sorry to have wasted my money.Book Review: Not great
Summary: 2 Stars
Not have read any thing from Sarah Mlynowski, I was not sure what expect from "As Seen on TV." Sunny Langstein is a twenty something that moves from Florida to New York City to be with her boyfriend, after a job falls though, Sunny ends up on Party Girls a new reality show. Quickly, Sunny goes from a character that the reader likes to a self-center woman who more interested in the lastest fashions than the fact that her boyfriend and others are falling the way-side.
Other reviewers, said that this was not Ms. Mlynowski best, well I was not that impressed with "As Seen on TV."
