Customer Reviews

Enjoyable

I enjoyed this book because I found the journey of the main character to be quite funny, and interesting enough to follow with exciting anticipation. The delivery of the end was a nice touch, which almost seemed formulatic at first, but a little research of the author reveals her source of original content - herself! Perhaps the best of her three novels.

Been waiting for this book for YEARS!!

I love Jennifer Belle, she's the most stream-of consciousness oriented writer I've read in a long time. She lets her freak flag fly and is proud. Her books are authentic and you can tell they're pretty autobiographically driven, while at the same time being totally fictional. As a writer, she's brave enough to scratch the surface of her own soul to bring her protagonists to life. On the other hand, it doesn't read like an indulgent memoir. She addresses the whole annoying "chick lit" term, suggesting that pigeonholing female writers are going to cause them to start using pen names again. (Interestingly, there's an allusion to Harper Lee in the book.) Interesting to hear her thoughts about it since I always suspected that she sparked the genre (unwittingly) to begin with. And she's freaking funny; I'll start laughing out loud reading this on the subway. Enough accolades?

Another great book from a great writer

This book was extremely funny and well written, and best of all a very clever and complex story. If you liked her other books you will not be disappointed in the slightest. If you haven't read any of her other books, buy it, read it, and then read Going Down and High Maintenance. Like the heroine's book, it would be an insult to call "Little Stalker" chick lit; it is so much more than that. Ms. Belle, if you're reading this, please don't wait another 6 years to publish another novel. I read this one as slowly as I could to make it last but only made it 4 days.

Fascinating Book

Jennifer Belle's fiction is fascinating. I enjoyed this book and although I am certain Ms Belle spent a great amount of time writing her novel, I couldn't put the book down and finished Little Stalker in 2 days.

Little Stalker

What a great story! I started reading this in the bookstore and couldn't put it down! I don't want to give anything away, so I'll comment on strenght of the book. The voice of the character is so clear, I hope she writes another book using this character! The story is great because it's so believable. This is so far my favorite book of the year!!!
