review 1: I really enjoyed reading "A Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame." Very much so. I thought it was interesting. The way they evenly showed each character's story from different points of views was clever. I found it easy to relate to because I had some similar problems going on. I can relate most to MJ's (Mary) story the most. I feel her pain, I would talk to a poster, thinking it was the only one who would understand and just listen to me rant. I would recommend this to my friends that like romance drama, highschool drama, or drama in general. But even if drama isn't your thing, you might still like this book. If you enjoy a story that changes prospective, has drama, is relatable to, or just a heart warming story, then this book is for you.
review 2: The stories ... moreof nine diverse teenagers at a Los Angeles high school comprise this slim, drama-filled novel. Characters include Sunday, who is molested by her mom’s boyfriend; basketball star Marlon, who endures a season-ending and possibly career-ending ACL tear; Carlos, whose family may be deported; and Jake and Shante, whose interracial romance is frowned upon by both friends and family. Any one of the nine stories could have filled a novel, but instead all are resolved in a short 164 pages, which is insufficient to truly realize anyone of them. There is ample conflict in each story to keep readers engaged, but the easy plot resolution detracts from the book’s overall impact. Still, some of the characters leave a lasting impression. Really good for readers looking for slim fiction with diverse characters. less
