Soo much like the Greggulator I only read non-fiction:
THE BLING RING - Nancy Jo Sales
Well, the book is almost an instruction on how to be hypocritical about how to deal with the content of your investigation.
The book, that is now going to be turned into another Sofia Coppola movie I refuse to see, is meticulous in its detail relating to fashion and associated fluff, that makes gossip\celebrity magazines what they are and on the other hand the book mounts an overambitious critique of celebrity culture.
Who is to blame for the burglaries according to Nancy Jo Sales: Facebook, Twitter, reality shows, raunch culture and porn. This all to familiar register of culprits is now missing Marilyn Manson or Dee Snider, but the story always stays the same. The youth is uncultured and uncouth, because of the listed bad influences and therefore also prone to break the rules of civil society. Go figure...
However I thought the story in itself can be appreciated for it's absurdity. The people in the Bling Ring will now be more famous, than they probably could have ever been if they tried their hand at traditional fields of merit, that take one to popularity, like acting or singing and that is fascinating.
