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.
