 I enjoyed this book a lot. I usually avoid nonfiction if I can, but this one piqued my interest. I'm glad I read it. This book is funny, interesting, and insightful. Josh knows how to make nonfiction fun. I loved everything from fun little diagrams to the conversations he had with celebrities. Plus this book is formatted in a unique way. It is formatted as if it were a school day with different class periods teaching you all about fame. That may make you want to avoid it because who wants to go to school in a book? Well let me tell you, it makes the book even more interesting and fun. Some of the class periods include math, which talks about whether celebrities are really more likely to have addictions and how many celebrities people remember, and Biology, which talks about why celebrities date other celebrities and is there something in our biology that makes us want to become famous. There is even a lunch class period! 
 
Overall this book is an interesting and funny read. Whether you like nonfiction or not, I think you will enjoy this one if you want to laugh and learn more about the world of fame.
