I really enjoyed this book, after reading the La Candy books, I enoyed this book out of all the ones she has written. I feel like its the best book she has written so far and her writing has improved a lot. I really liked the character of Carmen, and i enjoyed madison a lot more. She seemed a lot more human than just an evil villian who was out to get anyone who stole her limelight.

I have never read Lauren Conrad’s L.A. Candy series. To be totally honest, I considered them somewhat autobiographical considering Conrad’s well-televised history and the concept matter. And, being brutally honest, I never cared much about either show she was on.

To be totally honest, I considered them somewhat autobiographical considering Conrad’s well-televised history and the concept matter. And, being brutally honest, I never cared much about either show she was on.

It was only after I saw my sister-in-law ravenously reading her books that I thought I would give them a try, and I feel like I owe Ms. Conrad an apology. I judged her books based on pre-conceived notions of who she was as a person, and I was wrong. The only reason I’m acknowledging this is because I have a sinking suspicion that I’m not the only person to feel this way.

While I doubt this series will win a noble prize, The Fame Game is fun. It’s very much a feel-good, don’t take things too seriously kind of book. It’s very much in the same vein as Gossip Girl, The Lying Game, and Pretty Little Liars. These are all series that have developed a strong fanbase because they are just good, guilty-pleasure fun.

I found myself genuinely enjoying Madison and following her exploits throughout the book. Yes, some of the situations were over the top and somewhat ridiculous, but it made me laugh and smile frequently. Conrad has a knack for writing amusing, vivid characters. And I’m a sucker for the exploits of a celebrity-esque world. You have to admit, if ever there was a case to me made for “Write what you know,” Conrad has that down cold.

The writing is a bit green at times, with Conrad having a habit of flat out telling a situation versus letting it unfold before the reader, but that is a thing that comes with time. I have no doubt if I went back and read her first series, I would see quite a bit of growth as a writer.

I really hope other people will set aside their preconceptions of this author (and other celebrity authors) and give this book a fair shot. I can admit that had there been an unknown author name attached to this book, I would have more than likely picked this up before now. Shame on me for that. But shame on you if you feel the same way I did and you don’t give this book a shot. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

I want to start of by saying if you never read the LA Candy series stop right here. The LA Candy series is before the Fame Game series and needs to be read first. With that said Lauren Conrad has done another fantastic job. This book was a lot of fun.

This book starts off with Madison Parker the antagonist from the LA Candy series. Madison has been contacted by Trevor Lord to star in a new reality series about a group of girls trying to make it in Hollywood. He promises her the world and that thi...more

Hollywood fame: isn’t this every girl’s dream? At first, “The Fame Game” by Lauren Conrad (girl in a former reality series, “The Hills”) seemed like every other teenage book, but it quickly became obvious that it wasn’t, when the lives of four girls changed forever as they tried to pursue their goals in Hollywood. This book takes you on a journey through the scary whirlwind that comes along with reality TV. I realized after reaching the end of the book that it carries a great message. Be careful what you wish for. Beware. Being famous, especially in the reality TV business, isn’t as wonderful as it looks. Next time you watch your favorite reality show, just know that things are not what they seem. The people on the shows become confused with what their real reality is and what is on TV. Their lives are overlapped into one huge mess behind the scenes. I learned that the producers are always telling you what to say and they create drama purposely to hurt the cast members to receive more viewers. Every girl dreams of romance, right? The producer in the novel, Trevor, sets up the actress on the reality show, Carmen, with the boyfriend of another girl on the show to make it look like they were dating. In reality, they weren’t but the picture was strewn across all of the tabloids. This ruined the relationship between the boyfriend and the other girl. The book was suspenseful and you’re constantly trying to guess what is going to occur next. It was unbelievable when I realized that even, I, as the reader, wasn’t excluded from looking forward to the newest drama and lies happening on the show in the book. It was great because the novel was told in the omniscient point of view; I was able to know what each character was thinking and what their view was on the events, both good and bad, happening in their lives. You also learn what each character thinks of the other characters on the same reality show. Some thoughts may not be as obvious as others and you begin to wonder whether or not the girls know what each person thinks of them. It was shocking to know that there are no limits for the producers to meet the expectations and fame that they so desire for themselves. The real “fame game” began with four girls trying to make it big in Hollywood but in reality, it becomes more important who can sustain true to themselves and their own lives the longest; an escape to remain the people they’ve always been seems impossible.(less)

I'll just read a little bit til I get sleepy I said to myself. If I like a book, I'm never good at reading just a page or two or even a chapter or two and putting a book down. I kid you not, I read the whole dadgum book, cover to cover in one sitting. The Fame Game is actually a pretty good book! Imagine that! I liked it even.

The same elements I love about reality TV were in The Fame Game with the added benefit of leading me to believe I was getting some kind of insider info. Ha! That's awesome, I totally dig that kind of thing! The Fame Game is a spin off series to Conrad's first series called L.A. Candy, which I have not read. The Fame Game follows four young female Hollywood hopefuls as they chase down their dreams of fame and fortune. Of course, drama ensues.

The "main" character is Madison, who is a revamped trailer park girl with family issues. Her rival is Carmen, who was born on the A-list thanks to her well connected parents. Gaby is the air-headed comic relief. And there's Kate, a Mid-Western signer song writer trying to make in the big city. There is the anticipated boy drama and jealously issues. But I think one of most surprising elements to The Fame Game was the willingness to address some big issues. It's not discussed too much but Gaby's eating disorder and obsession with cosmetic procedures is alluded to more than once. Madison's family issues include a sister that had to go to rehab, an alcoholic mother and ex-con father, who have recently resurfaced in her "perfect" life.

I thought the story was actually very interesting. I caught myself thinking things like, "Oh snap!" and "Girl, don't do that!" And again I read the book in a matter of just a couple of hours which is a testament that I did in fact like what I was reading. The only thing I didn't really like, which I also find that I don't love about the shows, is that even after reading the whole book or watching the whole show nothing really "happened." Ya know? I guess it's just that feeling that things are left unresolved. I felt like it was a really good set up for something to happen, it just hasn't yet. Maybe that's just the disadvantage of reading a series. The next book, Starstruck, just came out so maybe we'll get a little further in that one.

I was pleasantly surprised – though I feel this might have needed one more draft to work on the “showing, not telling” part of the technical area of things, but otherwise I found this to be quite the readable little morsel of how things work in Hollywood. Though this departs from my usual fare, it was definitely a fun read, and for those who aren’t a fan of reality TV, well, this book will teach you a few things about how it really works.

If anything, I found myself wondering as I read, how much of this is autobiographical in nature? From the blurbs of “LA Candy”, I have the feeling that the first trilogy was most likely autobiographically based, but this time, I wondered – is Conrad really personifying herself more than ever within the character of Madison in this new series? Is she really writing how she’s felt about being in reality TV in more detail than before, more brutally than before? Conrad pulls no punches and really plunges us into Madison’s POV, very nicely set as a 3rd close POV in terms of writing. I have to hand it to her – had she decided to use 1st person, it would have been a lot harder to switch around to all of the different characters and their pieces of exposition, so this was quite well done. She was able to shift to each character as needed

I guess you could say that I had low expectations, because I was dealing with an unknown quantity – I’d watched some of “The Hills”, heard of the shenanigans that happened with her roles on reality TV, but I’d never really read her writing. This was a very pleasant surprise – Conrad, with said experience of this bubble within Hollywood, does not spare the reader any details, does not handle them with kid gloves, and really gives us as the audience the real meat we crave in terms of details of what really goes on behind the scenes. When she wants to use her sensory language, she can use it pretty well. However, I feel like she still needs to work on that department because there was a fair amount of telling that went on in a good chunk of the book.

“So Usagi”, you say, “Why give it four out of five stars? You HATE chick lit! WTF?”

Well, dear reader, simply for the entertainment value. The final few chapters were a great payoff to the telling that did go on, so much so that I was actually pretty satisfied with the end product. Even though there was some serious work needed in the sensory language department (but that can only come from learning from one’s craft, I suppose?), this book was such a guilty pleasure and so fun to read (and not to mention educational) that I wound up enjoying it way more than I thought I would. I have the feeling that this would make a great vacation or beach read this summer, and it’s nice because there’s no deep thinking required – you’re just going along with Madison and the other girls for the ride. And sometimes, as much as I hate to admit it, is very much needed. Plus, Conrad doesn’t spare her reader and she really tortures her characters – and I love it when authors aren’t afraid to do that.

So, final verdict? Give it a read. You’ll be able to read this book without having to read the previous trilogy, and it’s definitely one of those guilty pleasure reads. It’s a lot of fun, and I’m considering reading the next one that’s due to come out in November. “The Fame Game” hits stores on April 3, 2012 in North America (elsewhere, ask your local bookseller) and the sequel, “Starstruck” is due out in November. If you want something to relax with, this is the book for you. I had a lot of fun with it, so be sure and give it a try for yourself.

The Fame Game is going to be a new reality show on POP T.V. It will bring together four girls that are trying to make it big in Hollywood. On the show will be: Madison Parker, who has been seen on L.A. Candy & Madison's Makeovers. Carmen Curtis, who is the daughter of Hollywood royalty. Kate Hayes, who is a waitress in a coffee shop and an aspiring musician. She attends open mike nights and has big You Tube hits on her song covers.And Gaby, who doesn't do very much, she was in L.A. Candy with Madison.

All four girls are thrown together and as you can imagine attitudes take over, between Madison and Carmen especially, they don't like each other at all. Kate is not used to the high life and everything it entails.

There is allot going on behind the scenes of the filming of the show, Madison's sister makes an appearance with their long lost dad, which is a complete nightmare. Kate has a love interest with a guy called Luke (who is an actor) but his agent says she will be bad for his career, so he doesn't correct the rumours that he is dating co-star Carmen Curtis. And Gaby is just Gaby, she can't do anything right and isn't really that bright.

I loved the ending of the book, Madison who I had a love/hate relationship with, I ended up really liking her character. I cannot wait to read what happens in the next instalment of The Fame Game, when the show airs and the girls are thrust into the limelight. What more bitching and lies will go on when the four girls are paired off against each other?

My favourite characters:

Kate: She is down to earth, likeable and totally relatable. She has a regular job and is working her butt off to try and make something out of her life, with her music. She is normal and not used to the Hollywood lifestyle, but could it change her in future books?

Madison: As I said before she is a love to hate character. She is the ultimate bitch and looks down on everyone and everything. But we see a crack in Madison Parker's armour and see her softer side poking through. The book really wouldn't be the same without her in it.
