Hollywood Nobody by: Lisa Samson
When I saw the cover I thought why not get the book. I received this book for free from ChristianBook.com. I love to read and sometimes I like to get a simple read that has no deep meaning or serious study. This book was a delight to read. I have Tween Nieces and yes they love to read also. I share cute books that I pick up for free and this is one I am seriously going to share with them. Hollywood Nobody is about a young teen Scotty who writes a blog, and lives in a trailer known as the Y. It is a cute story she is not your typical teen. She is self taught and has an adventurous life. Her mom is a food stylist and travels around the United States on movie shoots. So Scotty gets to meet all kinds of different people, and celebrities. I really enjoyed this book. It took me some time to read. Not because the book was boring, but because I was very busy. I am actually going to pick up the other book. I found out it is a Trilogy. It is worth a read, and I am actually going to purchase the other two books. Thank you Christianbooks.com for the great book.

I saw part of myself in Scotty. Like we are both sensitive to "nice", we both are obssessed with cheese, and skeptical of preachers who scream at you. This book was funny, so true, sad, and happy. And I'm so sure every girl as felt similar emotions that Scotty has. And the message that the book gave me was that JESUS CARES. He cares about our bad hair days, broken hearts, and dreams. Truthfully, I think that's the thing every teenage girl needs to know. I needed to know.

My 14 year old daughter read all four books in the Hollywood Nobody Series in one month. She could not put them down. I personally have not read them, but she asked me to post this review. She would read them again.

Hollywood Nobody is a great book about a young teenage girl's search for Christ. Scotty is a spunky girl with a unique style all her own that doesn't care what people think about her. This book boosts the self esteem of all the teenage girls who read. It is a good safe Christian book for girls to read.

To most teens in America, Hollywood stars are royalty. In her Christy award winning young adult novel, Hollywood Nobody, Lisa Samson shows us that celebrities are people, just like everyone else.Blogger Scotty Dawn has a unique life. She lives in an RV because her mom, Charley, is a food stylist. The two travel from movie set to movie set giving Scotty the up-close-and-personal on many of Hollywoods A-list. She secretly blogs about these superstars on her Hollywood Nobody blog, which is growing in popularity every day.But Scotty is lonely. On the set of her mothers latest job, Scotty makes friends with newbie actor, Seth Haas, but is disappointed when he starts dating snotty it girl Karissa Bonano. Scotty keeps her distance from the new couple, thankful shes able to vent incognito via her Hollywood Nobody blog. When Charley starts getting suspicious phone calls, Scotty wonders whats up? Why do they always have to run? Who is Charley hiding from? And does it have anything to do with Scottys father?Scotty Dawn is a joy to read. I loved her antics from her blogging rants to her acting debut as a life-size mustard bottle. For a quick and fun read, with some surprise plot twists, Hollywood Nobody is a winner. Highly Recommended.

Don't let the Young Adult label veer you away from reading this new series by Lisa Samson. She's one of my favorite authors, which is why I decided to read this YA book, the first in a series. I absolutely love Scotty, the 15 year old protagonist. The story is fun and quirky, yet carries an excellent message. I plan to order the next books in the series right away. When my granddaughters hit their middle teens I'll pass them on.

Review 7 for Hollywood Nobody: A Novel - eBook
Overall Rating:
Date:May 2, 2008
Hollywood Nobody was a great and fairly fast read and I cannot wait to read the next few in the series. The story of Scotty is told through many different ways with using just plain first person narrative, her diary, and her blog entries. Scotty is a diverse 15 year old that only wants what anyone at any age wants, to not be lonely. [author: Lisa Samson] did a great job of really sharing Scotty's life through this book. I can relate to Scotty and see where she gets her emotions and her strengths from. Not only do you get to read about a little Hollywood, but you also get a little romance, some family love, some suspense and extreme plot twists, but there is also this little mention of Christ's love. It is just enough that I do not think this book would scare anyone away, but perhaps interest them in just the slightest to be curious for a little more information. Which in my experience tends to be the best way to be an evangelical.

Review 8 for Hollywood Nobody: A Novel - eBook
Overall Rating:
Date:October 3, 2007
I devoured this book in two days. I rarely want to sneak off and read a book until I finish it, but this was one of those books. I adore anything Lisa Samson writes anyway because she is edgy and unconventional, but I'm telling you that she has a real winner here. The heroine is a fifteen-year-old girl, Scotty, who reminds me of several teens I know. Hey, I have a fifteen-year-old son and a fourteen-year-old son and I still loved the book, so you don't have to be YA to read it and love it. I adored how Scotty even had herself a pet phrase... "I'm just saying".One reviewer said sometimes some of the things Scotty thought seemed old for her age. I totally disagree. I have very smart kids and they think like Scotty did...exactly. Teens are very perceptive these days. And Scotty had wisdom beyond her years due to exposure to many things she shouldn't know. The author made that point very well several times.I loved the blogging theme of the story (of course) and the topics covered on the Hollywood Nobody blog. It was so realistic...right down to the funny comments. The main characters seemed so real to me. Her mother reminded me of some hippies I know (and knew) when I was younger. Very funny stuff! Especially the cheese fetish. Scotty was just so quirky and cool. I know several teens who love vintage wear and are so classy and weird in their own way, just like Scotty. I found her totally likeable and believable. Wonderful story. Intriguing plot. Hot topics (and great tension) with a hottie hero who is a movie star and also a great guy because Hollywood hadn't ruined him yet.So check this book out. I guarantee it'll hold your attention. The ending is killer satisfying, but leaves you wanting more at the same time. March 2008--when the sequel comes out--is not soon enough for me. I loved this book!

Review 9 for Hollywood Nobody: A Novel - eBook

Fifteen years old Scotty Fitzgeralds childhood was spent running around the country with her beloved mom, a highly regarded movie food designer. However, lately Scotty has grown tired of the hustling from one set to another and the vegan only lifestyle of her mother. However, it is the secrets that impact her that disturb Scotty the most as she writes in her blog that her mom Charlie refuses to tell her anything about the dad she never met.---------------While assisting her mom At Charlies latest film project, Scotty and rising teen movie star Seth Haas become friends. He encourages her to pressure her mom into revealing the truth as to what frightens her to be so overly protective of her and information about her father whom she wants to meet.-----------------Although Scotty seems at time much older than she is, she makes this an interesting coming of age tale as she struggles with her moms secretiveness clearly out of the Dick Cheney book on governance. Her quest seems even more genuine because she never quite reaches a spiritual and emotional acceptable solution. Lisa Samson provides a warm inspirational tale of a teen needing to know the truth even if it turns out ugly.------------------Harriet Klausner
