Overview

You'll smile, you'll laugh, you'll cringe, you'll escape to a a weird and strangely stereotyped world. ""The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy"" meets ""Mills & Boon"" with a dash of Discworld, a dog-eared 1998 copy of Lonely Planet and a sprinkling of The Spice Girls. ""Cyberchicks go Wild"" is a laugh-out-loud, fast-paced romp that goes beyond ""satiric fantasy romance satire science fiction comedy"". The madcap adventures of a horde of beautiful young women all intent on pursuing the same movie star are woven into a spoof of fanfic, chick lit, bodice-rippers, virtual reality and travel guides. The writing is inventive and witty. The story is riddled with unfeasible stereotypes and the plot zigzags wildly. At its heart, ""Cyberchicks"" satirizes the adoration of ordinary fans for their idols of the silver screen. It's a rollicking read, with all the ingredients of a cult classic!
