I might have hated this book if I'd read it, but listening to the audiobook was a treat. My stars! I cracked up over and over again, not just because the story and the narration were so outlandishly ridiculous, but because I couldn't believe Libba Bray herself did such a good job performing all the characters (there were tons of accents going on in this book--British, southern, Australian, Midwestern, weird-fictional-country). Completely over the top, but totally fun. ( )

Okay. Was this book super well written? No. It was maybe a 2-star book story-wise. But it made me laugh out loud a lot, which made me really enjoy it. So for that i'd give it 4 stars. I'm averaging it out to 3 stars. ( )

I don't normally enjoy satires, but this wacky romp about beauty queen contestants on a desert island was recommended to me. In fact, it's the best kind of satire - it starts as black comedy but blossoms into a madcap but totally genuine celebration of friendship and girl power.

If you are in the mood for a light, inspiring, delightfully anti-capitalist tale of giant snakes, pirates, corporate conspiracies, and exploding hair removal cream, look no further.

I strongly recommend the audiobook, as Libba Bray's voice-acting is INSPIRED and gives the whole production a Daria meets Lord of the Flies vibe. ( )

14 of the 50 Miss Teen Dream beauty pageant contestants survive a plane crash on a strange and mysterious island (I know, sounds like a start of a certain ABC series). At first the girls sit tight and wait out their rescue by continuing prep for their pageant. But soon enough it becomes obvious that rescue may take a while, so the girls (Team Sparkle Pony and Team Lost Girls) start to improvise survival. It's not easy. There are giant snakes, psychedelic trip-inducing fruit, men in black shirts, jars of explosive hair removal cream, pirates, and an Elvis-worshiping dictator to contend with. Through their adventure, we learn more about the little Misses, and share their journey of self-discovery, true friendship, and of course, there is always more than meets the eye.

Reads like a teen Hollywood feel-good comedy, complete with mock commercial breaks. Most of the characters show depth and have barely-believable but interesting backgrounds to discover, though a few are kept vacuous as reality for humor's sake. It will be a fun summer read for most. ( )

Such a great story. Miss Congeniality meets Lord of the Flies.

I love all the back stories for the beauty queens, they aren't shallow people or air heads like they tend to be portrayed. ( )

Tiara's hands flew to her mouth. "In health class, they told us there's an or in whore because you always have a choice to respect your body and say no. You've got one of those STPs now, don't you?"
Petra stared. "STP is a motor oil."
"Oh. My. Gosh. We didn't learn about that one. It must be really bad!" Tiara gestured solemnly to her crotch. "Protect the citadel. Protect the citadel."
