review 1: My two starts come from the fact that 1.) It's a really quick read (maybe an hour) and 2.) It was an interesting concept to collect each page from the author's friends/people who read her blog. However, overall, it was not that enjoyable. I'm not saying that this is a bad book for everyone. But I would suggest not picking it up until you are at least in your late 20s and/or a struggling actor. I thought the target audience was very narrow considering the title. None of the pages in there seemed to be geared toward anyone younger than about 24 or 25 or anyone trying to get into a substantial field of work. And since I'm still in college, it was more scary to read than funny. At least until I realized that the author got a BFA and was trying to be an actress. Now, I... more know that I'm quite not there yet -- to graduating and getting out in the world to find a job -- but come on. In my opinion, acting/theater is one of the hardest professions for the general public to relate to. And I'm sorry, but that probably wasn't the best choice for a first career anyways, and especially in this economy. No wonder she's so bitter about life.
review 2: 5 stars for being an 100% representation of my life. The drawings and lists were hilarious and I liked the way it was organized. I found myself saying ridiculous things like "OMG it's SO true, omg" and being the annoying person in the cafe bookstore. I stopped every page and compared notes with Julianne. My life is pathetic, but there was a happy/hopeful message at the end so I liked that. Plus I can't get over the bed drawing. That really is extremely accurate - I feel like someone found out my hidden secret for how I live my life or something. less
