L.A. Candy

During the summer, Jane Roberts and Scarlett Harp, two best friends, come together in Los Angeles. Jane has been hired by the famous event planner, Fiona Chen, and Scarlett is starting her first semester at USC. One night, while they are in one of Los Angeles' top clubs, they are spotted by Trevor Lord, a reality TV producer. He hires them for his next hit show called L.A. Candy. A few days later, the girls met their costars, Madison and Gaby, and start filming the show immediately. This is where their adventure, full of fame and action, starts.

I really enjoyed reading this book, because I thought the story was very original and that each character was different. I would recommend it to teenagers, because it is easy to read and there is a lot of gossip in it!

When I started reading it I have to be honest, I did not like it! I put it down about 5 chapters in. I decided to try it again the second time and I fell in love! I finished it in a couple of hours and I just loved it! It is a very funny book!

i only got through to like three chapters before i decided to put it down. i couldnt stand it, the story was dull, the characters were dumb as they get, and lauren conrad cant write.

it was a pretty good book for just one of those light easy to read books it is the kind you just read not to be wowed by but just to sit and read for entertainment i would suggest it to someone for a nice easy beach read

My only reasoning why this book did so well because... well, it's Lauren Conrad.... Whoever loves the Hills or loves her will probably love this book. I picked it up because I was curious behind the world of reality TV and how it's arranged. I give her credit for letting me enter that world.

Apart from knowing what goes on in a reality show, that's all there was to it. You're just reading about girls going to work, school and clubs.... Until a guy shows up in the story...and then another guy...and what do you know, you got drama. I wouldn't have minded it so much if it had a conclusion to it. I read a whole book, got nothing out of it (Except the glimpse of reality tv) and was left empty-handed at a resolution.

So if your looking for reality TV in a book, a non-existent plot, a simple main character, be left empty-handed with a cliffhanger as an ending, this book is for you.

I only read the first few pages and was shocked that this was ever published. Obviously some money exchanged hands and names were dropped. As it has been said before... you obviously have the intellect of a two year old to have enjoyed this book (OMFG YAAAYzzz LAREUAN CONERAD!! iz cant speel!) Honestly... I laughed. Then I showed a friend of mine and they laughed with me. Then we grabbed another friend, showed him and we all laughed merrily together at the sheer tragedy this "novel" is. In just the first few pages that I read I could see so many flaws. It was predictable, bland and she used way too many adjectives... sort of like a 7 year old who first learns what they are and decides that the beautiful snowflakes fell softly from the frigid winter air twirling about makes a great sentence.

This isnt the kind of book that I usually read, I'm not so interested in these kinds of books, but for what it was it was pretty good. Lauren Conrad could really put some of her own personal experience into these books, and I'm sure that helped with the concept and all. I'm still debating weather or not to buy the second one though! 3/5

I absolutely love Lauren Conrad, and The Hills and all that, so I was REALLY looking forward to reading this book. Unless you are a teenager, this book is NOT for you. Anyone with an intellectual capacity to get through Dr. Seuss shouldn't even bother with this book. Poorly written is an understatement. It sounds like a high school teenager's project for "creative writing". Obviously this book is only getting the hype because of L.C. and not because of any talent. My advice: Don't bother wasting your time.

I love reading books, and when I heard all the buzz I thought why not give it a shot. I regret wasting my money on this book. You can tell the book was written by someone with no writing talent because of all the apreivations that teenagers use (wtf, etc.). The ending was terrible, just terrible. And although a lot of people say how they loved this book, and they may, but I have had never heard of Lauren Conrand before I can honestly say this was just plain out not good.

L.A. Candy was an absolutely spectacular book. It was interesting and Lauren Conrad was able to give the readers a sense for who the characters really were. These characters were easy to relate too. They were four normal girls, and they were chosen for a once in a life time chance to be on a reality show. This book managed to grab my complete attention in the first chapter. L.A Candy talks about real life scenarios with girls just living life it its fullest. There was never a dull moment in L.A. Candy. Lauren managed to keep the readers interested and sitting on the edge of their seat, in excitement for what was going to happen next. L.A. Candy is a book that would be more suitable for an older audience. There is mature topics discussed through out the book. L.A. Candy reminded me of the hit reality show The Hills. This book was a must read if you are a girl anywhere from 15+. This book wasn’t a hard read but it did have large words here and there but just about anyone could read it. Lauren shows her creative side in this books and it give you a glimpse of what she has been through in here own life. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a great read. This is a book you will not be able to put down. I cant wait to the second book to come out. Lauren did a great job writing this book and is a very talented writer.

This book was really good, I read it from start to finish in one day! If you like The Hills and you like Lauren Conrad, then you'll like her book! I Can't wait to read Sweet Little Lies. . .

I picked up this book not expecting to be thrilled with it's contents. It was as great as many of the chick lit books I've read in the past. I enjoyed the characters, loved the storyline, and I am definitely looking forward to the next book!
Great Job L.C!

i got the book about a week ago and just finished it tonight.
it doesnt happen to often that i get a book and then a week later im finished.
i LOVE this book and could not put it down, every night before i went to bed a read it for like a hour of more and even then when i know that i should so go bed i still did not put it down.
now i cannot wait until sweet little lies comes out.
i think that lauren conrad is a GREAT author and that anyone who loves/likes the hills or even just wants to read a good book should read L.A. Candy.
hopefully soon sweet little lies will come to coles near me and i can read it.
i cant wait to see what happens to jane.

i bought this book a little over a week ago, and finished it about 5 minutes ago. and i CANNOT wait until "Sweet Little Lies" is released! this book, "L.A. Candy" was absolutely amazing. it was well written, and flowed very nicely. i like how Lauren wrote a couple chapters from each characters perspective (like what they were doing, what they were thinking) it added that much more intensity to the book.
i recommend this book to anyone who watches The Hills or enjoys drama & love stories.

LA Candy follows Jane Roberts and Scarlett Harp as they make their move from Santa Barbara to the bright lights of Los Angeles, California. It follows them as they learn what it's like to live in a big city and we watch as they're thrown in the spotlight and treated as celebrities. What I really enjoyed about this story is the behind the scenes look we got into the whole reality t.v. world. I knew that it wasn't exactly real, that the TV Producers throw the characters on the shows into different situations and watch as the characters work through the situations on their own so it was fun to see how things are done because though L.A. Candy was based on The Hills, the characters were different and the storylines were different. All in all, i thought it was a really great book and i cant wait for the second one! "Sweet Little Lies" is to come out in Febuary!

I bought this book on Wednesday afternoon, and I finished it on Thursday. It was fantastic, I could not put it down. It is written in such a way that I felt connected to the characters. I can't wait for the next book!

wow!

This book was fantastic! I loved how the chapters were short and the font was big. I would TOTALLY read this book again. Like 3 more times :P The ending indicates another book which i will soooo buy!

i started reading this at 10:00 p.m. and finished the book by 11:30 p.m
how? i read the first 30 pages then got bored of it. so i flipped to pg.130 and the story seemed like it was continued. this book may be fun to some ppl but for me, it was boring, bland and had an overrated plot. i closed this book in great disappointment to lauren conrad and give the book two thumbs down.

I never watched the hills, but I watched a lot of entertainment shows. I was disappointed with her book, I thought it was going to be way more juicy! I thought it was going to be an young adult version of Gossip Girl, but poor Lauren doesn't even follow close. It's an OK read, if your bored and want to read something, sure, she gives you a back ground on the " reality shows" but besides that, the women needs a little imagination!
