#5 Model Student by Robin Hazlewood
Yes, another book about a young model learning the ropes of the biz, written by another former model. What can I say - I was sucked into the dark underbelly of the modelling life!
But I'm done for now. Even though this book was mostly as fun as the Porizkova book.
I also started, and abandoned, another book last week. The Post-Birthday World by Lionel Shriver. It got raves last year, and ended up on some best-of lists. While it was an interesting scenario, and I did want to know what happened, there were just too many words.
Beautiful prose is one thing. Taking five paragraphs to explain how someone is feeling over and OVER again is another. Get to your freaking point.
So I chucked it after 100 pages. Life's too short for books you're not into. Especially when there's fluff about models to read.
