W...For a memoir, I would concentrate on the prose. Was Cheryl's voice engaging and easy to read? On the content side, I would not judge specific actions (like when you would say you thought a character made dumb decisions in a fiction novel) but what ages you felt the content was suitable for, whether the content was interesting, perhaps highlight a scene you found really interesting.<BR/><BR/>But I think your review was very nice.<BR/><BR/>Modelling YA:<BR/><BR/>Airhead by Meg Cabot<BR/>Janine and Alex, Alex and Janine by Michael Levin (became the Disney TV movie Model Behavior)<BR/>Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz has a modelling scene but it's vampire YA.Livianiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479932701589363306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646003446271201170.post-20276845287510985872008-06-18T12:53:00.000-07:002008-06-18T12:53:00.000-07:00I recently got A Model Summer by Paulina Porizkova...I recently got A Model Summer by Paulina Porizkova but I don't think it's YA and I haven't read it yet.<BR/><BR/>I added you to my blogroll too :)Lenore Appelhanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664671644163369772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646003446271201170.post-7625972736587536212008-06-15T16:16:00.000-07:002008-06-15T16:16:00.000-07:00No, Violet is the only modelling series I've reall...No, Violet is the only modelling series I've really heard of. <BR/><BR/>Very thoughtful review! I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say about other YA books. <BR/><BR/>Have you read any Catherine Gilbert Murdoch? I'm reading her "Princess Ben" and liking it, though I LOVED "Dairy Queen" and "Off Season." Also, my book-of-the-moment is Steve Kluger's "My Most Excellent Year," and an interview with him is being featured on my blog/site right now. I've read this book 3 times in 1 week!Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11476963043474402248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646003446271201170.post-90608197569144772262008-06-15T09:11:00.000-07:002008-06-15T09:11:00.000-07:00Hi Gabbi, That's a pretty nice review for someone ...Hi Gabbi, <BR/><BR/>That's a pretty nice review for someone asking how to write a review. You let me know about the book and what it meant to you. That's pretty much it. Another book to check out is by Jancee Dunn, "But Enough About Me." Jancee Dunn is an interviewer for Rolling Stone and the book is about her life interviewing pop stars. Here's the link if you want to read what I wrote about it.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/celebrity-interviewer-turns-the-camera-on-herself/" REL="nofollow"> Celebrity Interviewer Turns Camera on Herself </A><BR/><BR/>JerryJerry Waxlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00945251286691895431noreply@blogger.com
