Thank you to Simon & Schuster for sending me this book.
TITLE: Satan's Sisters
AUTHOR: Star Jones
GENRE: Novel
RATING: 2 Stars
I have been reading for a long time and I remember, in the 80's, where there was a trend towards writing books that were a little bit trashy, with a lot of sex, but were also incredibly entertaining.
This is what I was hoping for with Satan's Sisters.
Firstly, I have no problem with a novel with a lot of sex - if it is entertaining and remotely pertinent to the plotline.
Secondly, I did not expect Star Jones to be a high literary author.
Having said all of this, I found this book to be convoluted, silly and most importantly, boring, boring, boring.
As soon as I started reading the first few pages, my first thought was "I guess she is not going to go out on a limb here and write something a little daring". It was obvious, by her opening chapter about a "bunch of women who host a daytime show" that we were simply going to be reading about Jones' distorted(?)view of her own importance and I was not mistaken.
From the get go, I found the characters completely confusing and I just could not figure out why this plotline should be even more remotely interesting to me.
The writing was silly, the characters were silly and the entire book was silly - I even hated the title. This one is a big no for me.
