Book Blog!

I read the book L.A Candy by Lauren Conrad. Despite what people may think about Lauren Conrad the book is not written how one would expect. It takes place in modern day Los Angles with Jane Roberts, the blond, sweet girl next door and Scarlett Harp, the beautiful one who if you cross her path, you better run. When out partying one night they are recruited for a new reality TV show, L.A Candy. When the show becomes a hit Jane and Scarlet's lives begin to fall apart.

One thing I really liked about L.A. Candy is how it gave you a look into the fabulous lives in L.A. It took you behind the scenes of the show and into the drama. There was never a dull moment in the book.

Although the book was exciting it was not the best writing I have ever read. Several times in the book I could have thought of a better word to use. Also, the book was slow in the beginning and ended abruptly with a cliffhanger. But no worries there are two more books to complete the series and answer all readers questions.

The target audience for his book would definitely be girls. The main characters are girls, the "show" that they are part of in the book is for girls, the drama is all about girls. It is overall just a girl book. Some guys might like it if they are into fashion, drama and reality TV. 

I give L.A Candy  three stars.

Other good videos

Another good video was Thalia's (sorry if it's spelt wrong). I liked it because it showed a lot of the behind the scenes footage of the restaurant and not a lot of people did that. Even though you couldn't hear the guy talking very well in some parts I still really liked it.

Other Good Videos

Another good video was Allie's. I liked how hers had a lot of video footage of the actual theater. It made you feel like you were walking into the actual theatre when she showed the clip of her walking through the doors. Her interview was good as well.

My Other Favorite Video

Another good video was Xan's. He did the big bang comics store in Sewickley. One thing he did well in his video is that he used a voice over as he walked the camera through the store. This technique keeps the viewer interested while learning about something. It was also funny when he did his interview with his brother. Overall, it was a really good video.

My Favorite Video

My favorite video was Teresa Reiter's. She did the Pittsburgh Zoo. Her video was really cute and it made me want to go to the zoo. One good thing about her video was that it wasn't boring and it kept the audiences attention. I also really liked the music. Overall, it was a really cute video.
