Advantages: Funny, very good cast Disadvantages: Not consistantly hilarious
Airheads is a comedy made in 1994 starring the relatively unknown cast of Brendan Fraser, Adam Sandler and Steve Buscemi. It also starred such cult favourites as Chris Farley, Ernie Hudson, Michael McKean and Judd Nelson.
The film is about Chazz (Fraser), Rex (Buscemi), and Pip (Sandler). They are in a band known as The Lone Rangers, and they're looking for some airtime and someone to notice them. Chazz has tried to give their demo to record executives but to no avail. So they hatch a plan: to take over a radio station and force them to play their song.
As these are basically nice guys, they have fake guns and have no intention of harming anyone, they just want their voices heard. But they run into a problem, one of the employees at the station escapes and calls the police. Soon, they have an army of officers outside and a crowd ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Airheads (DVD)
Advantages: Hilarious, entertaining, one-of-its-kind, different, easy to read. Disadvantages: Book doesn't last you very long.
I have been a fan of Meg Cabot's novels for quite some time now. I enjoyed every one of her teen and adult books, excluding The Princess Diaries which I never really liked. As soon as I heard about Airhead I had to buy it. The synopsis sounded intriguing so I wanted to find out what it was about.

Unfortunately her younger sister is a Walking Dead In Progress and none of her advice seems to make a difference.

Don't read Being Nikki without reading Airhead first. You will miss out on a lot. And please don't read the rest of this review without reading Airhead, because there are spoilers!
So after I finished reading Airhead by Meg Cabot, I was disappointed in the ending. I wanted to find out what happened and if Em will finally tell Christopher who she really is. I loved the first novel and there was so much more that needed explaining.
Being Nikki is a little more exciting than the first book, because now Em is carrying on with her new life and it's strange. It's strange to read her experience about living someone elses' life and I almost hate what she has to go through.
Meg Cabot uses a very simple, yet tactful way of writing and it doesn't take long to finish one of her books. I'm a fast reader myself, as I tend to read quite often, but ...
