his book started out slow for the first chapter, then it picked back up again, then it went down hill again. There were many times I was going to close the book and be done with it, but I ended up finishing it. This is the fourth book in the A-list series. I was told that you didn't need to read them in order and the way the book was written I believe that.
A problem I had with the book was the celebrities popping up all over. I know this is an A-list book directed towards celeb city but ju More...

This is the first book I read in the series. It was an okay read.
The Pros
I loved the sneak peek into the glamorous lives that the protagonists led, the complications and the inner demons they battled with daily. I was also glad that Cammie, from which I originally thought was a two-dimensional character, actually turned out to be somewhat good. I was also interested in the lives of people in Los Angeles, specifically in Beverly Hills, considering I just migrated to Los Angeles mys More...

Tall Cool One is my favorite type of book.Zoey Dean perfectly exicuted this drama through omnicent narration. I was so into this book i could hardly put it down, I read this book in about two weeks.The omnicent narration is perfect for this type of book because you can know what every character is thinking and feeling.Also,in the beggining of the book,there are two different stories of a number of different girls,then, their stories tie brilliantly about mid way through the book.This book was ve

Having actually enjoyed the third A-List book, I was excited to read this one. Had this series actually turned a corner? Unfortunately, no. This book, while getting props for being randomly named after a horrible Robert Plant solo hit from the '80s, was terrible. It picked up exactly zero of the plot from the last one that was exciting, and in fact acted as if some of those things (specifically Cammie getting a stepsister with no explanation of her origins and the same character getting severely

This was actually the first book I read in the series. I had no idea it was number four and when I read it (quiet a number of years ago now) I remember thinking once I found out it was part of a series that it was easy to follow along in the story because it re-introduced a lot of the plot from the previous three. I loved this series way more than Gossip Girl.

I think this was one of the best books. I loved the vacation part. It seemed absolutely amazing :) The ending was kind of corny but you have to love Eduardo.

Anna is becoming less WASP and more wild Hollywood girl and I like that but this book kind of dragged. Sam is also getting more uncomfortable with her stepmother and more comfortable with her body.

Hahaha! Loved the part when they drink the mescal and then break into the rich dudes house! SO AMAZING! I was telling my mom about that part and she goes, "So, these are the kinds of books I spend my money on?!" I just said, "No, mom. You didn't WASTE any of your money. 1. They are pretty good books, and 2. They are Steph's." Hehehe.

This book is a good follow up to the the third a-list book Blonde Ambition. This book is slower paced in the begginning but ounce it gets interesting it is a fairly good book. In order to understand this book and get the best affect you should read the first three a-list books, the a-list, girls on film, and blonde ambition.

I actually thought it was kind of boring. The girls inside are really pretty shallow and I can't believe the author is still writing more of this kind of books.

This is probably my favorite A-List novel out of the first 4. I love that Anna and eventually Sam leave the setting of Las Angeles for a while for Mexico.
