Summary: Don't try this at home!
Comment: A light, funny dark comedy that I couldn't put down! I thought this was going to be an ordinary chick book...I was so wrong!
I think most of chicks we a bit of Dani Hale in ourselves with one exception..Dani Hale does the things we may think of doing, but know we could never act on.
This book was an easy read and now I'm left wanting to read more. Jules Asner did a great job of describing the LA and Hollywood lifestyle, even throwing in a mention of her husband the director (very clever)!
Jules, when is your next book coming out??

Summary: Wack is more like it
Comment: Steven, honey? I wrote a book. Can you call Harvey Weinstein and ask him to publish it?
Why don't you ask him yourself Jules, tonight over drinks at Koi?
Enough said.

Summary: Atrocious
Comment: Despite allowances for the limitations of the genre, this book is lifeless and sub-literate. It's surprising, given the author's assumed experience as a pop culture insider, when the novel fails to deliver any fresh insights into a targeted, and rich, vein of LA life. Then there's the lack of dimensional characters, dynamic plotting, any sense of place or a decent turn of phrase. I have to believe Whacked was some sort of bet between Asner and Gigi Levangie Grazer. Can't figure out if Asner won or lost.

Summary: Fascinating Read!!
Comment: This book was fabulous. I could not put it down. The writing is funny, intelligent and very believable. I would describe it as chick lit with a dark twist. Loved that she was not afraid to go with the surprise ending. I cannot wait for more books by this author!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Is this a screenplay or a novel?
Comment: It reads a lot like the former to me. I guess that's not surprising considering the Hollywood pedigree of the author, but it's still a disappointment. The plot borders on the absurd and the characters are paper thin. Let's hope the inevitable film version has a good director.

Editorial Reviews:
|
In this deliciously devious beach read, chick lit meets Fatal Attraction as Jules Asner weaves together a tale of relationships, betrayal, and very modern revenge.A novel with a killer eye for the crimes and obsessions of modern relationships, Whacked is a wry, arresting foray into a realm that its author knows inside out.
