Kate, Carmen, and Madison (The Fame Game) are still navigating reality-show stardom. Kate can't overcome stage fright, Carmen's mother steals her spotlight, and Madison's doing community service at an animal shelter--all documented by the show's cameras. The book's obvious it's-so-hard-to-be-famous message becomes tiring, but this otherwise enjoyable middle volume delivers more behind-the-scenes tidbits from an author who's been there.
