I'm a big fan of Rex Parker's Pop Sensation blog. His critiques of the best--and worst--paperback cover art never fails to crack me up. Sure, he pokes fun at them, but he does so with a connoisseur's enthusiasm and insight. Also, his "Page 123" test is uncanny! Somehow, that page always turns up some of the most outrageous lines.
Today's book, Starlet Sinner, is one of my favorite posts of his. Check out Pop Sensation for the full write-up.
And if you really, really, really want the book, there's even a contest to win it...
