'A Shore Thing' for Snooki; Her Book is #24 on 'The New York Times' Best Sellers List
Snooki Gets the Last Laugh
If you know anything about the reality TV show Jersey Shore, you know that Snooki, aka Nicole Polizzi, 23, is one of the most popular reality TV stars, earning at least $30,000 per episode. But now, she's more than that. She is a best-selling author, which many people may be surprised about. A Shore Thing, by Snooki, is a book of fiction released in January of 2011 and is #24 on The New York Times Best Sellers list.
The book is about a summer on the Jersey Shore. An excerpt:
"I love food. I love drinking, boys, dancing until my feet swell. I love my family, my friends, my job, my boss. And I love my body, especially the badonk."
Show don't tell? When you're a popular celebrity, you don't have to follow established fiction writing rules.
Will Snooki's book reach #1? Who are the readers of Snooki's new book? Writes one Amazon reviewer, Tina Lee, "This was a fun quick read. I expected it to be total crap but it wasn`t at all! It's genuinely funny and heartwarming, if you like and or have watched a few episodes from Jersey Shore you know what you're in for. I was really, really surprised by much. I enjoyed reading it. Some parts near the end were too cheesy for me, but it wasn't long and easily skipped. I liked this book much better than the show! I hope Snooks and her ghostwriter write another one."
Perhaps Snooki's book is a lot like celebrity gossip? You want to avoid it, but you just can't help yourself.

I didn't even know she wrote a book but now I'm curious. I'm not really a fan but not a hater, either. I find her annoying but interesting at the same time. haha
@Nancy - She's making bank!
Hey, she couldn't even spell "sure' right in the title. Just kidding... Snooki will be laughing all the way to the bank, badonk and all (had to look THAT word up!).
Thank you for your wisdom, Troy. When her book reaches number 1, do come back to grace us with more of your wisdom.
Yeah, her book that is a week old is ahead of Stephen King's book that came out November 11th. Any movies that came out three months ago ahead of movies from the last week? That's not how charts work. Way to take things out of context. Her book is doing good (sadly) on its own without need to twist facts.
