This tedious, tame sequel to Valley of the Dolls arrives 35 years after the original publishing phenomenon. Claiming to be based on a first draft by Susann (1921–1974), it certainly is aptly titled, as it languishes deep in the shadow of the original. Susann capitalized on readers' hunger for gossip by giving her fictional characters aspects of real-life celebrities, creating a thrilling guess-who puzzler featuring composites of Judy Garland, Ethel Merman and Dean Martin. Neither guessing games nor drug use (the other thrill of the original) play much of a role in Rae Lawrence's novel. There's no sex either—not just by Susann standards, but even compared to a Regency romance. Seven times characters venture near a bed only to have the action abruptly skip over the deed with "Afterwards..." ("...he lit a cigarette"/ "...they turned the television back on"/ "...he brought her a fresh glass of water"). Fans of the rough and tumble, blunt but addictive prose and plotting of Susann's original will find this rambling series of episodes (there's not enough drive to pull them into anything resembling a plot) lacking. Neely, Anne and Lyon are all back (burdened with dull teenage kids), but the pseudonymous Lawrence has no idea what to do with them. Most of the notable events take place between chapters (Neely wins an Oscar for playing arch-rival Helen Lawson in a big-screen biopic, Anne and Lyon divorce, Neely aborts Lyon's child). Susann's original still packs a wallop; the sequel is a pulled punch.

I actually do like this series. I quite enjoy it actually. "Dead Is a State of Mind" is a pretty good sequel to "Dead Is the New Black". It's a quick, easy read that can be easily finished in one sitting. I find that I mostly read books for the simple fact that I want to be entertained, and this book definitely accomplished that. Although I can't exactly justify a four or five star rating, on the simple fact that the twists aren't twisted enough, and it's pretty simple to figure out the Who, What and Weres (did you see what I did there? Weres, as in, short for werewolves! hah! Yeah, don't judge me). But, it's still fun to read about Daisy and her gang, even if you find yourself wanting to shout "He's obviously the bad guy!" at her through the entire book. If you are a younger teen, or even pre-teen, I would definitely recommend this book to you. Even though the book's main characters are mostly 16/17 years old, I do believe this book is best targeted at a younger audience. I also recommend it to those who are simply looking for something quick, cute and entertaining to read.

HEE-LAR-EE-OUS. Old-timey pictures meet extreme dry wit. Subject: pregnancy. Fun to discuss at cocktail parties and student council meetings.

some of these are just exercises in characterization, but others are so compelling as to make the volume well worth the time, for instance: "On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning" (completely romantic!) and "The Dancing Dwarf". some adult content. characteristically bizzarre murakami.

It is a good book about a cat and how he can go through time. With his best friend Gareth the cat goes to Egypt, Rome ...etc.
Written by an academic, it reads that way. Unless you are a linguist much of Part 2 of the book could be skimmed. However, I recommend this book because it reveals a society that speaks, thinks, and acts in a completely alien manner to Western life. Fascinating!
