Product Description
In this deliciously devious beach read, chick lit meets Fatal Attraction as Jules Asner weaves together a tale of relationships, betrayal, and very modern revenge. A novel with a killer eye for the crimes and obsessions of modern relationships, Whacked is a wry, arresting foray into a realm that its author knows inside out.

 SACKED September 22, 2008

Like many I read the reviews and was looking forward to this book as a fun, light, quick read. It starts off with accounts of people having sex with the dead body of Marilyn Monroe and goes down hill from there!! The book is pure trash and I was outraged that they classified this as young adult at the library; I would never allow my daughter to ready this trash!! To put it shortly this book is a waste of paper and your time!!! The character is a sex craved neurotic psycho who you never really care about and the `book' is poorly written and choppy. I've seen better comic books!!! Jules Asner should stick to modeling. If you bought this book ask for a refund you've been sacked!!!

I bought this book because it was on New York Magazine's summer recommended reading list. Jules Asner should be embarassed, as should her publisher. The book was silly, plot-deprived, and a bore (I forced myself to finish it). The book centers around a man-crazy and borderline psuchotic LA woman with no redeeming qualities, though she end up a "winner" at the end. Anyone puchasing the book is wasting their money.
 Don't try this at home! September 5, 2008

A light, funny dark comedy that I couldn't put down! I thought this was going to be an ordinary chick book...I was so wrong!
I think most of chicks we a bit of Dani Hale in ourselves with one exception..Dani Hale does the things we may think of doing, but know we could never act on.
This book was an easy read and now I'm left wanting to read more. Jules Asner did a great job of describing the LA and Hollywood lifestyle, even throwing in a mention of her husband the director (very clever)!
Jules, when is your next book coming out??

Steven, honey? I wrote a book. Can you call Harvey Weinstein and ask him to publish it?
Why don't you ask him yourself Jules, tonight over drinks at Koi?
Enough said.

Despite allowances for the limitations of the genre, this book is lifeless and sub-literate. It's surprising, given the author's assumed experience as a pop culture insider, when the novel fails to deliver any fresh insights into a targeted, and rich, vein of LA life. Then there's the lack of dimensional characters, dynamic plotting, any sense of place or a decent turn of phrase. I have to believe Whacked was some sort of bet between Asner and Gigi Levangie Grazer. Can't figure out if Asner won or lost.
