Much better than the first

It's very weird when you say you prefer a book's sequel to the original. I wasn't too fussed really over Pammy's first book "Star", I've kept it, but never picked up again to re-read it.

I've had "Star Struck" on my wishlist for quite a while, and came across it in the shop on the boat while on holiday. I probably paid over the odds for it, but it was in euros, so it probably worked out at the same price. I had originally started another book about the Titanic, but couldn't get into it, so started reading this instead.

"Star Struck" drew me into the world of Star straight away, and had a tight grip of me throughout the whole book. In fact, I finished it within a couple of hours. It's more of a novella, had it been in smaller type, with not so big margins, but it's a terrific read, much better than Star.

What really shocked me about this book, was reading the acknowledgements, that Pammy does a lot of thing a lot of authors/celebrities DON'T do when writing their biographies/book: they don't admit to using a ghost writer. Pammy does this quite happily and I applaud her for this. For some reason, they don't like admitting they use a ghost writer. Cos of course, we all believe all they do is sit around all day typing away, or doing a JK, and handwriting it! (That must be painful.) She probably gets final approval of anything that goes into it, but you can tell a lot came from her life. She met & married Tommy Lee (or Jimi Deeds in the book) within 3 days of meeting him; she had a miscarriage on the set of Barb Wire (or Hy Voltz); that infamous video and lots more beside.

The book has a lot of sex scenes in it, and coming from Pammy, she certainly knows a lot. (We also discover that Jimi - probably like Tommy - is very well endowed, hello!) Every chapter has at least one scene like this.

Towards the end of the book, it does leave it open ended, for a possible third in the trilogy (I hope so!), but it also turns into out a bit similar to Thelma & Louise. (Oooh, did that give the ending away?) It certainly kept me turning the pages, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I might be persuaded to read them both again, and maybe even change my original review of Star.

fun, but needs more reality!

Just like her other book, this was a fun read if you want to step into the mind and stories of Pamela. It is a hilarious quick read, with lots of little stories that remind you of the crazy tabloid tales of when she was with Tommy (aka "Jimi", in the book). Only problem, I didnt like the far leap into fiction towards the end -it seemed like the author and her ghost writer didnt want to say what really happenned between these two and concluded the story with a "Thelma and Louise"-type ending. Not as much fun as the first book, and just a little sexier... :)
