review 1: Cute and funny.The first few chapters were not as strong as the rest of the book. In fact, I almost put it down because it was trying to hard to be funny. (If I had not been reading it for a challenge I might have.) However, once we got into the actual "Survival" show the book hit its stride and was quite enjoyable. The scene at the first tribal council was laugh-out-loud funny. There was a mystery, but it was buried in the humor and general craziness of the characters.Overall an enjoyable, if not a great, read.Would I read it again? Maybe.
review 2: My first Leslie Langtry book was "Scuse Me While I Kill This Guy," and I absolutely loved it. "Stand By Your Hitman" is a winner, too, but I didn't like it quite as well as the first book I read. I never watched "S... moreurvivor." I'm a fan of "The Bachelor/Bachelorette." I didn't exactly get the jokes about the show. I also found a few typos, where words were missing and the sentence didn't make any sense.My likes outweigh my dislikes, though. I loved the chemistry between Missi and Lex--and he has such a great sense of humor. I spent most of yesterday with one of my funniest friends, so I was really picking up on the humor.The secondary characters are great. My favorites: Sami (at first her language put me off, but by the end of the book, I realized that was part of her appeal), Silas, Isaac, and Jack and Monty.I loved the Mystery Science Theater 3000 quote--which brought back some great memories. My late husband and I used to love that show, and so did a good friend of mine, who passed away earlier this year.I look forward to reading more books in the series, especially the book of short stories about the Bombay family. less
