    Amazon.com Review
    Who knew? Pamela Anderson's debut novel Star is funny, sexy, and utterly compelling--a must read for chick lit fans, subscribers to US Weekly, and anyone with an ounce of curiosity about Hollywood. Still not convinced? Here are three reasons to read Star: it offers a gossipy glimpse into the extravagant lives of the rich and shameless; it s funny--filled with laugh-out-loud memorable moments; and most surprising, it s got a lot of heart--don't be surprised if you find yourself falling for this sweet, naive, and lovable heroine.

    Anyone remotely familiar with Anderson's life will recognize the playfully disguised true story behind Star Wood Leigh's tale--how a tight t-shirt and a football game led to her appearance in Mann Magazine, an accidental audition landed her a spot on the home improvement send-up Hammer Time, and a show called Lifeguards, Inc confirmed her arrival on the Hollywood scene. Anderson s book is delightful--a playful blend of fact and fiction that s a treat to read. The sex kitten with a heart of gold may be a familiar story, but Star offers what even the best chick lit and romance novels cannot--authenticity. Star is a novelization of Pamela Anderson s life, and while it s debatable what s fact and what s fiction (you'll never look at the Hollywood sign the same way again), the point is that it all could have happened to her. Star ends with a bit of a romantic cliffhanger, but anxious readers shouldn't fret--Anderson is hard at work on Star s sequel, a "great exciting romance" featuring the face-licking, impish Jimi Deed. --Daphne Durham

    Product Description
    Pamela Anderson's life is the stuff of fairy tales and centerfolds. A champagne blonde who was discovered by a beer company, she moved from model to Playmate, from actress to star...and now she can add New York Times bestselling author to her resume. Star is a breathless romp through tinseltown and tabloids. An insider's look at the world of inflated egos and inflated bodies,Ms. Anderson's novel goes beyond the air kisses and velvet ropes to show what really happens when A-list meets D-cup, when small-town girl gets all glittered up and becomes a star.

    5 out of 5 stars Better Then 'Atlas Shrugged'   July 4, 2009
    Julie Diaz (Petaluma, CA United States)
    Pamela Anderson is a riveting literary genius with talent and gobs of spunk to boot. Aside from oozing Silicone and raw sexual energy, her prose crackles like cottage cheese on an open flame at a Saturnalia celebration. Pamela Anderson has definitely proved herself to be a giant in the eyes of the writing community, she certainly has topped herself. If Atlas Shrugged, then Pamela picked it up! From Bay Watch to New York Times Bestseller List, damn it Pam, you did it! You got me to read a book.


    4 out of 5 stars Fun Book   December 20, 2008
    Tina Givens-Wright (New Jersey)
    I really had a fun time reading this book. It's very sexy, racy... it's not meant to be an award winning book. Just something fun and light to read, and I absolutely enjoyed it. I found myself rooting for Star even after she settled in Hollywood heavily involved in all different kinds of men. Nonetheless, I recommend this book to anyway who enjoys a sexy-hollywood/glamorous easy read. Can't wait to read the sequel!



    4 out of 5 stars It's really not that bad.   August 25, 2008
    Cassi Kaste
    I actually did like this book. I am now reading Starstruck and I think it is cute how she wrote it. I don't think she should have used big impressive words. She was just writting how she wanted to. She is already rich enough, so she was just doing it as a hobby I'm sure. I do kind of wish she would have made it her full autobiography. But in the end I like how she wrote it.
    She was just vulnerable and it shows what Hollywood does to people. Throughout the whole book I was intrigued by what Star did and how she went on to becoming a Star. I loved it.

    Go Pam! Some people know how to open their minds... Promise.



    3 out of 5 stars Okay for her first book   March 8, 2008
    L. Walkoviak
    An okay book for light reading. Preferably read at the beach. An interesting read by Ms. Pamela Anderson.


    2 out of 5 stars Not impressed   June 2, 2007
    Natalie A. Pickford
    Though this book dishes some dirt, it was poorly written. Just a vapid look at Pam's life. I had a hard time finishing it. I don't think I'll read the sequel.
