Lots of fun

This book wasn't excellently written - I felt that each of the characters' voices sounded just like each other and the author could have perhaps done better in really getting into each character's way of speaking and thinking. I liked the character of Phillip but he sounded like a woman was writing his perspective (which she was but I needed it to be more convincing).
However, this book was interesting to read because it shows just how easy it is for a family to be seduced by fame.
It reminded me of the Spears or the Lohans and made me wonder if that's how they became messed up!

Dull.

I like this book more than I thought I would. It is told from four different prespectives and I enjoyed them all, especially Philip and Polly.

I definitely enjoyed this book. It's the story of 3 girls and their brother (duh) after the girls are featured in a photograph in a high-profile magazine. Told sequentially by each sibling, the story traces the effects of celebrity and beauty on a family, with humorous and poignant results. It's very funny, and it's all too easy to see this as a look inside a household like the Lohans or the Hiltons.

a story about two selfish brats and how their greediness destroys the happiness of the two younger siblings

I need a certain momentum in a book to keep me going. I usually give it 100 pages. At page 109 I still couldn't care less about the characters and was still looking for a plot. I gave up but other reviews here said they couldn't put the book down. Try it for yourself. I find that my views on books vary from others.

Didn't like it at all - actually returned it to the library before I was finished. I just didn't care about the characters or the plot.

The title is fairly indicative of the book. Three gorgeous, red-headed, teenage sisters (Daria, Polly and Amelia) have just become swept up in their first big modeling break with <i>The New Yorker</i> magazine, while their brother Philip is left on the sidelines, unsure of how to cope with the changes and how he fits in.

Each sibling narrates a part of the story; unfortunately, their voices all sound exactly the same, and I couldn't identify with any of them (nor did I find I wanted to, actually). The author chooses to take the most irritating verbal mannerisms of teenagers today, without a care for proper grammar, punctuation or sentence structure. Here is a sample sentence: <i>"Which I know sounds like fun? But honestly is kind of boring."</i> The book is dripping with this kind of sloppy, slangy language. One can only hope the book saw further editing before its official release. I couldn't wait to be finished with it.

It's light reading, but it's well-done light reading, and was amiable company during a night of insomnia.
