I listened to this audio and I don’t think I have laughed so much in a long time. Talk about extravagant stereotypes, excessive mannerisms and just plain old fun, which is what you will find inside this novel. I’m really not sure which character I liked the best as they all were needed to make this ...
Beauty Queens by Libba Bray Short Version: I don’t care what the cover says to you or what you think about Libba Bray or what you’ve heard about her or even this book. This is the one book you cannot read a review of and form a good opinion on. You have to read it for yourself. This book is not a t...
This is a very weird book.. hahaIt took some getting used to, with the writing style and all. It is definitely heavy on the satire, which was funny at points, but I guess it's not really my type of humor. I didn't enjoy this book at first, but after the half-way point, I started to like the characte...
I alternated between listening to the audio version read by author Libba Bray - excellent and hysterical - to reading the book, which I didn't enjoy nearly as much. Bray's accents kept the action moving and made the characters feel more real. However, the book is such a heavy satire, that parts of i...

Beauty Queens is a satirical novel which encompasses so very many important topics, such as: feminism, homosexuality, racism, transexuality and a plethora of other topics that are often rolled up into the aforementioned. Beauty Queens uses humor to show the tired tropes that society and mass media p...
Oddly enough, I've read two books this year about teenaged girls trapped on deadly, deserted islands. The first, Bad Girls, was written by a man, and it showed. The girls were stereotypically competitive with each other, there's a scary and disgusting sexual assault, and at one point one of them has...
Beauty Queens - Libba Bray FIVE HUGE STARS for my first Libba Bray book that had me laughing my butt off so much, I looked like an insane woman in my car. This book also had such a great message that I can't wait to be able to share this with my daughter when she is a teen. Quick Summary: Con...
Having this book for about 1 or 2 years, and trying to read the book about 2 or 3 times in that time span, I wasn't really looking forward to reading it again. But it was for a challenge of one of my groups, so I decided to go for it.The book is satire, and you can see that pretty much immediately, ...
