I'm ashamed to admit I read this book, but it's nearing the end of the year, people, and I need to knock out the rest of my Gilmore Girls list! This book was horrible. Absolutely horrible. I came into it with high hopes. I was expecting it would be like "Almost Famous," and was excited to read about the real-life Penny Lane.

Nope. It was just gross. First of all, Pamela Des Barres can't write to save her life. She would throw in random quotes from rock songs (i.e. "Girl, we couldn't get much higher") to prove, "I was there! I was SO in the rock scene!" And she's crass. Near the end, when she meets her (now ex) husband, she talks about how she knows he's THE ONE when he gives her an, um, "intimate disease," and she doesn't even care. EWWW. And as my friend Jenn mentioned, she just never grows up. She never matures and moves past this high school mentality of needing attention. I'm frustrated that this book is as popular as it is (and what's worse is the fact that she's published MULTIPLE books.)

Anyway, I'm now reading the Unabridge Journals of Sylvia Plath. I feel the need to cleanse the palate...
