review 1: I'm so far out of the loop. I didn't even realize Snooki had written any novels let alone Gorilla Beach.Here is a little summary:Jersey’s sexiest guidettes are back for another scandalous summer at the Shore, and this time, Giovanna “Gia” Spumanti and Isabella “Bella” Rizzoli are raising the stakes to find thrills and hot gorillas—unemployment, douchebag exes, family drama, and dingy apartment be damned!But when the girls unknowingly cross an overprotective mafiosa mama, all bets are off. Booted from Seaside Heights for good, the spunky, sequined meatball and her sensitive, quiet cousin are forced to flee to Atlantic City. Their escort out of hell is Fredo, a weird and scrawny but hooked-up club manager from a prominent family, whose master plan is to pimp out ... moreGia’s psychic gifts at the roulette tables.Suddenly, it’s raining benjamins for the coiffed and tanned threesome. Top-shelf tequila and seafood dinners are not all they’re scoring. Bella snags a pale but talented boardwalk artist, Gia hooks up with a high-stakes poker hottie, and with Gia’s coaching, Fredo just might have a chance at becoming a certified juicehead. Or, at least, a gorilla-in-training.But when the casino suspects cheating, the trio is hounded by haters and tricksters determined to sabotage their endless summer. With hearts and loot on the line, losing is not a chance the crew can take. This time, the house isn’t going to win. . . .Overall a fun read. This girl is on to something.
review 2: I have never seen Jersey Shore so I only know the author by reputation. There were things I liked and things I didn't like about this book. What I didn't like: Every single character is of substandard intelligence and extremely self-centered. It is really hard to root for anyone when they come across as arrogant and stupid. There were some words (Guido slang?) that I didn't know and that are never defined. I could figure a few of them out due to context but not all of them. This book needs a guido glossary. The plot is weak (but there is one!) and I don't think there was enough of a conflict. Now, having said that, there were parts that I really enjoyed. The main characters are wacky and funny which makes up for a lot of shortcomings. The writing style is whimsical (and head-scratchingly odd but not annoying) and fun. I liked - but didn't love - this book. *I received this book free through a goodreads giveaway* less
