Review: Chick lit

I need to remember that when I see something called "Chick lit" that I probably won't like it.  While Famous definitely has some funny moments, and it was decently well written from a grammar, structure, and even character development perspective, I found it really difficult to wade through.  If you like stories about shallow women doing little more than working, shopping, clubbing/dating, and going to restaurants, then you'll like this book.  If you want likeable characters that do interesting things, or are looking for a romance novel, then avoid this like the plague.  I was 30% through the book before it got to the "point" (i.e., what made her famous), I'm currently 51% through and ready for it to wrap up and be done.Also note that the book is written by an New Zealand author and set in New Zealand, so if its a turn off for any Americans to puzzle through local slang and other -isms, keep that in mind when considering reading this book.
