AfterShock:
Honestly, I didn't feel an aftershock, I didn't REALLY feel anything. I was't too excited; but I didn't hate it either. I guess I would call it neutral.
My Thoughts:
I've never been much of an American Idol fan but, I have watched a couple episodes. Even though obviously scripted; it's still entertaining (television right?).
When I first received this gift I looked through the pages and it looked like a fun, quick read. It's full of pictures but still plenty of text.
At first I zoomed through the first couple of chapters which were about the show in general. The book was pretty cool.
After a while it started getting boring. As I already said; I'm not much of an American Idol fan. The next chapters were suddenly ALL about the contestants and all that jazz. I didn't really care because I didn't know any of these people! I didn't watch their seasons!
Of course it was still pretty cool to see how famous stars like Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson's started off.
My Rating:
Factors For Rating:
+ Fun to discover how some stars started. Enjoyed learning about past judges and the reality shows history. I liked the layout.
- More of a personal preference; but too much information on contestants and not as many info on the actual show.
Who I Would Recommend It To:
Anybody who has American Idol on their DVR haha.
