Britney and Her Mother Fail To Captivate a Reader,
Although Britney has proved she can sing and get boys’ hearts pumping, she still has to prove she can write one sentence worth reading. Even with her mother’s help, Britney can not write a book worth reading, much less buying. The storyline took no imagination to create. The story of a small town girl thrown into a world of high society is old and classic. It could have been a good storyline but the way it was written made it quite boring and repetitive. Britney and her mother are horrible writers. Their sentences flop and their characters are underdeveloped. The character Holly is a delightful character ,but she is missing normal qualities of a human being. Holly is the picture perfect girl. There seems to be nothing wrong with her appearance or manners. The same goes for her boyfriend, Tyler. Flaws would have made these characters more real. The character ,Ditz, is a waste of words and paper. Ditz is very unreal and lacking several character developments such as growing up or fighting with her innatentive mother. The only character I could stomach was Holly’s mother, Wanda. I am guessing that Lynne Spears wrote this character as Wanda seems like a real mother. Most of time, the sentences in the book were petite and lacking appeal. The plot was unreal. Especially the part where Holly is the youngest person to get a scholarship to the fancy school. How often does that happen? Almost never. The only part I like is the book is the twist near the end that concerns Wanda. That really is the only part that took some imagination to write. The whole book would be a complete drop if it wasn’t for that part. Even the ending is quick and not well-written. In conclusion, this book was a waste of my money and time. I only hope that people can read this and be warned not to buy it. Unless you want to die of boredom, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!!! Thank you very much!

|Egads no!,
This kind of book makes writers like me want to throw our pens away. Britney Spears and her mother are writing a book, see the cheese drip off the table. Why should we work feverishly on developing characters, twisting plots, creating twists, when she is taking the book deals? The publication companies have hit a new low, apparently they consider dancing in tight pants while lip synching equals writing talent. What’s next, Justin Timberlake? Oh yes, he DOES have a book deal! Please do not buy this book, don’t give Britt another million dollars to throw on the pile. They can’t write songs, what makes you think they could write a novel?

|Poor little rich girl…,
I bought ‘A Mother’s Gift’ because the summery at the back appied to me, not because of Britney Spears’ name on the front, shared with her mother. I read the book in one night and put it down feeling somewhat unsatisfied. The ending was indeed a bit of a surprise but didn’t really add much to the book. The whole story line is already so cotton candy sweet, dripping with pure sugar that it’s enough to make you ill. The ending only added to the sweetness and it just made me groan.
This book, although well written, has no original plot. Holly and her mother Wanda (the one with the ugly birthmark on her face) are poor, Holly wins a scholarship, feels ashamed of her mother, mother reveals secret, daughter forgives mother, both live happily ever after. Sound familar? Not only is the book screaming “And the moral of this story is” at you with every turn of the page, but Holly is so perfect that no teenager could really relate to this perfect fourteen-year-old with her boyfriend back home (whom she has only gone as far as to kiss), and who help her rich friend get her life back on track. See what I mean about the whole sugar-sweetness story line?
