CANDY GIRL (Diablo Cody) - October 25/07

Diablo Cody's tell-all about her time as a stripper is undeniably a fascinating read. She's got a natural way of writing that feels intimate and revealing, almost like you're reading someone's diary. As such, the book is a breezy page-turner that goes by way too quickly. I was actually resisting the temptation to read more just because I didn't want it to end. Diablo also reveals herself to be the kind of brutally honest and fun girl that one can't help but fall for... She's hit it big as a screenwriter with Juno - which isn't as good, frankly - so let's just hope that Candy Girl doesn't mark her one and only stab at a book. ***1/2 out of ****
