5.0 out of 5 stars No regrets! It's great!, July 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: True Brit: The Story of Singing Sensation Britney Spears (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is the best book I have ever read. SERIOUSLY! It's wonderful. Beth Peters uses a great technique of writing to make it very interesting. It's not just a book that you sit down and read through. It's got quizzes about Brit, facts (from her fave things to the address of where to get a script of the play "Ruthless" that she stared in), and information on her former MMC stars and where they are now. In between all that, it tells the story of super star, Britney Spears. If you like Brit, and want to learn cool facts that you probably don't know, but don't feel like sitting and reading a whole book, get this. It's interactive, and a bunch fun. GO GET IT!
