Secrets of My Hollywood Life
review 1: There's No Place Like Home is a clever written book. The last in the Secrets of My Hollywood Life series is a thrilling conclusion. It's sad to see this series end forever and ever. I hate to say farewell to this series, but it's always meant to be. (The first book of this series is Secrets of My Hollywood Life, if you are interested in reading this series. This series doesn't have numbering on covers.) The series is recommended to anyone ten years old and up.The plot is cleverly woven. All the words and sentences creates a vivid movie that I can see with my imagination and thinking. I like how the author creates the situation and solution. There's No Place Like Home is a Wizard of Oz retelling, but in a modern world without Oz, witches, red shoes, wizards, and evil/good s... morechemes. All the secrets of Hollywood is revealed as the narrator travels through the normal Hollywood and the made-up world of Hollywood without Kaitlin Burke. I love the conflicts in There's No Place Like Home. There's, of course, multiple conflicts going on. The major one is character v. self and character v. character. The favorite one is character v. self which totally reminds me of my own conflicts and situations in life. Great link to my life!Character: (There's No Place Like Home isn't really a book for a review on other characters. It's a Kaitlin Burke centered book.)Kaitlin Burke's stunning and beautiful characteristic transformation is so inspiring. It makes me want to change my own goals and wants in life. Burke's indecision on whether to have a normal life or an acting life has been a major conflict throughout the series. Thankfully the author decided to settle this once and for all...with a Wizard of Oz trick. Burke is Dorothy trying to return to her rightful place in Hollywood. In her normal life, she discovers how much she truly love acting in movies and FA. With her newfound wants, she wholeheartedly embraces her acting life and no longer takes things for granted.

review 2: NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The series is OVER!!!!!!!! *Cries* Just a few years ago I started actually finishing series and it is always really sad.I love 'The Secrets of My Hollywood Life' series (even though they had a tedency to be repetitive.) It's really fun and light, this one was probably my favorite next to the first one. I loved it that Katilin stopped being such a push over and so indecicive. It was nice to see her grow and change. The writing was good not fantastic but goo for chick-lit. Some of it was just a tad cheesy but not overly so. I enjoyed the story line, it was definitely different from the rest of the series which was a great relief. At first I was a little apprehensive because it just seemed like Jen decided to go all sci fi on us, but not to worry it was a fun plot twist.This is a GREAT chick-lit series! It's really fun and just girly! Not to mention the amazing inside peeks into the Hollywood life! I definitely recommend it for someone looking for chick lit that is actually um, AWESOME! I'm still just so sad! Why ,oh, why must series end? less

Was too much of a rehash of It's a Wonderful Life. Wasn't as good as her other books.
