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.

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 have never read Lauren Conrad’s L.A. Candy series.

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.

The Fame Game is a wonderful story about 4 ladies who are cast to be in a "reality" TV show called The Fame Game. There are many characters, supporting actors if you will, helping to make the story believable.

There is Hollywood romance, the rich (and not so rich) and famous (and not so famous) in the story. The reader gets an inside view into what's real and what's not real in the world of "celebuspawns."

Vacation reread and while I did enjoy it I think this one stayed with me more than the La candy read as I remembered most of the plot, which was a shame. Madison was a bit annoying in this one and she was also confusing at times with how she acted. Didn't like they added the dad already. Luke was meh. Also wasn't a fan of Carmen in the end. The ending.. Madison please.

The ending.. Madison please.

I am normally not one to like Reality Tv Shows, mostly I find them idiotic and silly, but for some reason I love them when they are a setting in a book. :)

We got 4 girls, but only 3 POVs (which I found too bad, because I would have loved our fourth girl to also get a chance to shine). All girls have something special. We got 2 girls who want to be actresses and one who wants to be a singer. I am not sure what Gaby wanted, but it seems to involve stuff like interviewing celebrities and talking to people.

My favourite characters would have to be Kate and Carmen. Especially Kate. Kate was really the girl-next-door, the girl trying to make it, the girl still pure and innocent. While Carmen was already deep into the world of Hollywood and the workings of it. I really liked their friendship, though I was sad when a certain event happened that caused cracks to form. Out of all the people I didn't expect Carmen to be like that. I would expect such behaviour from Madison or Gaby.

Madison was the most annoying character, and at times I really liked her, but at other times I got sick of her attitude, her I-am-amazing-and-everyone-else-sucks-tude. I got quite tired of her whining and complaining. Her family situation just seemed weird and it didn't fit. Maybe because I haven't read the first series and I only see Madison in this one, but it all just seems so plastic, so fake.
And I was glad I was right about Madison's dad. Too bad Madison didn't notice until it was (again) too late.

The show itself and the whole reality thing around it was interesting and fun. I really hope the girls will make it and won't fall for all the fake and treacherous things that surround them.

We also got various side-characters. Some of them awesome, and some (like Kate's boyfriend) annoying and horrendous. But they make the book even better, they add that dramatic element that makes it more like a reality tv show.

I will be sure to read the rest of this series, and I will also be getting the first series too. Because I want to know what happened there.

Although I think she was a very one dimensional character, she does develop throughout the book and even further in the rest of the series.

It's much like watching Reality TV in that it doesn't require much thought and is entertaining. I love how she provides an insider's behind-the-scenes look at the world of "Reality" TV.

As I haven’t read the previous trilogy, “LA Candy”, I didn’t really have a baseline to work with in terms of how to handle/what to think of Conrad’s writing. 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.

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.

But I've been mildly curious about her books, and it was available through the library, no I would not buy this, so I decided to check it out. And I actually kind of liked it.

From the very first chapter I realized The Fame Game was full of drama, but what else can you expect from a book about reality TV right?
This story is about 4 girls, and yes they are girls still, who are trying to make it in Hollywood and do it front of everyone in America by being broadcasted on T.V.
Madison is one of the stars of L.A. Candy, a previous reality show also produced by Trevor Lord. Madison's own show Madison's Makeovers is not doing so well so Madison is only to happy to jump at the chance of being cast for this second series.
Madison is also the girl you love to hate. She is mean and selfish and comes across as a fame whore. But underneath that facade you actually get to see glimpses of a semi decent girl who had a rough start in life.
Kate is a relatively new comer to L.A. She is a struggling musician that came to Hollywood after her YouTube rendition of her own take of Cyndi Lauper's "Girl's Just Want to Have Fun", did extremely well.
Kate is a beautiful and really genuine nice girl, but a little bit boring and she desperately needs a makeover if she wants to make it big.
Carmen is Hollywood royalty already. She is an upcoming actress and a child of famous parents, successful singer Cassandra and big time record producer Philip Curtis.
Surprisingly Carmen is not the stuck up mean girl you would expect. She is pretty down to earth but she she still needs a bit of a reality check when it comes to her friendship with Kate.
And then there is Gaby. She is the ditzy sidekick of Madison who was also on L.A. Candy I believe.
You can't help but want to force feed this girl with her non existent eating and knock on her head and see if it's hollow. But her part is so minor you almost forget about her character at times.

I have to say that the some of the characters were not very deep or developed all that well but then again this is just not that kind of book. It was written to provide lots of drama and it definitely did deliver. ...more
