Chore Whore: Adventures of a Celebrity Personal Assistant

A bit of a chore

This is the tale of Corkie Brown, a widowed mother of a not-well-behaved 10 year old boy who earns a living as a celebrity assistant. Most of the book chronicles the ridiculous activities and cash expenditures of these fake celebrities. This book was written with a million tiny chapters which made it hard to ever sink your teeth into anything about the book. The last maybe 10th of the book slowed down a bit and focused on a few characters so you could actually form a feeling about them but the majority of the book was like having ADD. I didn't hate the book but don't think I'd read anything else by this author

Confessions of a name dropper

I picked this up in the bargain section-the cover was adorable and sounded like it might be a very funny and whimsical diversion.
The author plows through the first 100 pages at a frenzied pace-dropping celebrity names (first name only, cause we know who's shes' referring to right), leaving me wondering every few pages what is the point of this book?? Where is the plot? I know it's loosely based on life, and is fiction, but I still got a sense of being annoyed with her references.
Had this been story driven, vs how many celebrity names she can drop on a page, I might have given this a better review.
It's not a total loss though-it does pick up toward the end-good for a quick plane ride or for easy commuter reading.

Pathetic way to spend money

WOW am I mad at myself for being fooled by this great title. A nothing book. Who cares how busy she is? I think it a book by a self righteous whiner. I don't even think I should give it away...

A reviewer

I am not an avid reader at all, in fact I hardly read. I bought this book and finished it within 3 days. I have now passed it to a friend who also doesn't enjoy reading just a day ago and she is half way through the book already. i absolutely recommend this book

Entertaining light reading

Very good, easy to read. A great read for the beach or anywhere else!

Fun

A fun beach read. I began to think what great stories personal assistants to the stars could tell. I will make a spot for this book in my personal library.

Who really cares....

if you're going to write a book like this--do it right. this is watered down pseudo-hollywood fiction at its worst. she should have kept her day job. your money would be better spent on a star map. look for it used!-or not.
