Stories From Candyland
Author: Candy Spelling
ISBN: 0312570708
Let it be known that I only tried to read this book because I love Tori Spelling and her books and I wanted to try to see her mom’s side of the story. I was really interested in reading what Candy had to say about Tori and their relationship. I wasn’t really interested in Candy’s actual story because to be honest, she doesn’t interest me.
After reading a few pages, I knew this book wasn’t for me. I knew I wasn’t going to make it through the entire book and I HATE not finishing a book. However, I couldn’t make it through.
I decided to skim through and read chapters that dealt with Tori and her childhood or Tori and Candy’s relationship. I really didn’t care about random stories about people stealing clothes from the set of 90210…sorry, just doesn’t make for interesting book material.
Candy isn’t a good writer. I’m just flat out being honest. She didn’t draw me in, she didn’t tell a strong story and she didn’t keep me interested. She was actually pretty cocky throughout the book and didn’t even come across as likeable. That’s the one thing I loved about both of Tori’s books- she seems so down to earth and normal. Candyland paints Candy to be the terrible image that she has a reputation for.
Yikes, not a good read. I’d suggest skipping this one!
Did anyone like this? I’d love to hear why or why not.
Could not finish 0/5

Sorry this one was super disappointing! I'm not interested in Candy Spelling, either, though I can't say I've given much thought to Tori. But it sounds like I would enjoy her books much more!
Can't say I've read it. And after this review it doesn't look like it will be happening. But I do still want to read some of Tori's books
I am so happy I just found your blog, it is amazing so I became a follower! I also wanted to let you know that I have a huge announcement up today! My debut novel is getting published! Please stop by, I would really appreciate it and could use all the help I can get on spreading the word and would love to know what you think of the cover art!
Sincerely,
