If you are looking for the novel of a century, you are not going to find it in The A-List Collection by Zoey Dean. If you're looking for an entertaining read to take to the beach this summer, though, this would be a good pick.

It focuses on a circle of Hollywood's inner A-List. You have Sam Sharpe, the daughter of an action movie legend. Her friend, Cammie, is the hottest girl in town with a body to die for. Then there is Dee, who is not the brightest crayon in the box but is likeable nonetheless. But the main character is Anna Percy, a WASP-type of girl from New York City who decides to move in with her dad in Los Angeles to basically run away from her troubles at home (whore for a mom, druggie for a sister, and her best friend sleeps with her crush). She is dragged to a Hollywood event by Ben Birnbaum, a guy she met on the plane there, and that is where the real story begins.

It's easy to read and extremely enjoyable, but isn't a classic that will be remembered for hundreds of years. ( )

This book is exciting from begining to end. The moment i read the first page I was attached. I read the book in less than 24 hours. It is easy to connect to and is a good funny read. I strongly reccomend this book for female teens. Emilee D. ( )

part deux!

This book was... well it was ok. I think i got it at a thrift store, so i didn't pay more than $1 for it, so it's ok.

The A-List, by Zoey Dean is about just that: the A-List. The main character is a girl called Anna Percy. She is skinny and blonde and rich: perfect. She moves to L.A. to live with her dad and to go to an internship. On the plane, she meets this guy, and then when she gets to L.A. she meets his friends. Who all suck. They're rich and snobby, and although one girl kind of likes Anna, she is still as much as a selfish rich kid as the rest of the troupe. In these few days, Anna gets a taste of Hollywood trash-life. She really wants to shake off her old self: perfect-little-virgin-Anna.

Well. The reason this book isn't all that great to me is because I really didn't like Anna. I thought the main character was supposed to be likeable.. or at least you're with them so much that they're significant to you. I really didn't like Anna. She was too much of a forced slag and she was mean, too. Very fake. I liked the guy from The Stranger. I didn't like Anna. Also: I don't know if it was supposed to be some sort of common thread, but everyone's dad sucked. Even Anna's--especially Anna's. Except--well that's the end but it was unbelieveable.

It was a trash novel, i guess, kinda like Gossip Girl. I still kinda want to read the sequels, just to see who Anna's going to end up with. Damn you Zoey Dean and your cliffhangers.

read? if you want, i can't stop you. ( )

In this sequel to The A-List, seventeen-year-old Anna has now moved away from Manhattan to an even more posh home in Beverly Hills where her relationship with Ben takes an unusual turn after he was discovered with a celebrity friend who almost drank herself to death at a party. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0316734756, Paperback)

irls on Film is the wickedly funny and risqu sequel to the bestselling A-List that takes readers behind the scenes of the intoxicating world of Hollywood glitterati. Seventeen year-old Upper East Side blueblood Anna ('pronounced Aaaanah') Percy has moved from posh Manhattan to the even more posh Beverly Hills, California, where she's living with her estranged dad for the rest of the school year while her mother travels to Europe with a friend. Girls on Film begins with Anna's feeling empowered after telling Ben to take a hike. He, however, continues to pursue her - refusing to go back to Princeton without a reconciliation. Anna's just not sure if she buys his New Year's cover story: that he was helping out a celebrity friend who nearly drank herself to death. In the meantime, Anna wonders if she and Adam have any chemistry. Anna also bonds with Sam, and after mentioning Ben's New Year's alibi, the girls try to guess the identity of the mysterious alcoholic celebrity. The list of suspects is a veritable who's who of A-List actresses. Sam invites Anna to a desert spa weekend where, in a climactic finish, we find out whether Dee is actually pregnant with Ben's baby, how Sam resolves her romantic feelings for Anna and, most importantly, whether Ben was acting with pure intentions when he left Anna alone on his boat. The fast times of Beverly Hills most beautiful and glamorous people drive the page-turning action of this irresistible, stylishly written novel.
