This book was about three unpopular girls who start a band. It was good because every girl has a dream of being a rock star and Molly finds out how hard it is.
Review by: Morgan

It was kinda weird. I thought it would be better but it was pretty..well NASTY. I thought it would be ok to read..it wasn't.
Review by: L.

It was o.k, but it ended pretty weird. It's like your waiting for the ending, but it just finishes without a good enough one. L.

Review by: Ashalee

this book grabbed my attention at the beginning of the book but the end of it fustrated me and i was angry. The ending was not at all spectacular. It was still a pretty good book though.
Review by: BlueAngel

I thought this book was really good. At first you might think you could predict everything that's exactly going to happen, but the story actually has a twist that leaves you a little surprise. Yes, I do recommend this book to girls at least thirteen and older.

I believe you should be honest with your review but there are nice ways to say things, like it just wasn't for me. Truthfully though, I have a hard time posting a negative review. ( )

Author certainly captured the voice of a guitar girl. I particularly liked the debate on the significance of Hello Kitty ( )

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0142403180, Paperback)

Sex, drugs, and rock & roll... a common high-school fantasy, right? In British author Sarra Manning's debut novel Guitar Girl, this oft-trumpeted triple-temptation proves to be terribly trying for a budding pop star. Molly Montgomery and her friends Tara and Jane live largely unnoticed until they form a fledgling girl band that will "be part of the new girl revolution." Fragile-yet-feisty Molly writes songs about Hello Kitty and boy crushes because that's the stuff of her world--a childhood closely guarded by her "crunchy granola," rule-oriented parents she dramatically deems "power-crazed fascists." But when her band is joined by a couple of older boys and attracts the attention of a fancy manager, "The Hormones" start racing--big gigs, an American tour, the whole bit. During her wild ride to stardom, Molly gets her first kisses from both a boy and a girl, gets drunk for the first time (but not the last), and loses her virginity and her sense of self, too. Any teenager who romanticizes celebrity will get a good dose of the reality of drug overdoses, morning-after pills, legal battles, exploitation, humiliation, and exhaustion with Guitar Girl...still, Manning manages to communicate the rush of wowing an audience and the joy and power of music through the often bittersweet, often bitingly funny voice of Molly. For a variation on the same theme, investigate Rachel Cohn's Pop Princess. (Ages 13 and older) --Karin Snelson
