A Shore Thing | C-

The Jersey Shore epidemic has now transformed into a novel written by none other than the ultimate guidette herself, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi. Snooki, who is making quite the name for herself on Jersey Shore, is branching off and pursuing new endeavors. Her new book, A Shore Thing, is the reality star's attempt at writing.

A Shore Thingtells the story of character Giovanna "Gia" Spumanti's summer in Seaside Heights with her cousin Isabella "Bella" Rizzoli. The girls gallivant around the Jersey shore getting into mayhem that's intertwined with cocktails and the search for the perfect guy to take home. Gia, the 5-foot tall, fuzzy-slipper-wearing, pickle-eating character is a perfect portrayal of Snooki herself.

A Shore Thingis a written version of Jersey Shore. It is seasoned with fights, booze and characters who will do anything for sex. Snooki's accident-prone antics are present throughout the entire novel, as well as her own crazy language. It's a Snooki dictionary with her creations such as "pouf," "kookah" and the three D's: drinking, dancing and "duh" making appearances in the book.

If you pick this book up you're in for an interesting read. The writing style is far from sophisticated — the scenarios presented may be for an older audience, but the writing style is more suitable for children. And while the book can be amusing at times, certain situations that are prevalent in the show are not translated to written word very well. Snooki fans and fans of Jersey Shore may enjoy this book, but for everyone else, pick this up at your own discretion.
