Is the Bitch Dead, or What? (The Ritz Harper Chronicles #2)

The book was sooooo good you won't put it down. Read it in 2-3 hours.

Overall, a good read. Not as funny as the first but Wendy should keep 'em coming!

This book set me up for the next book. I know that this is a 4 book series so it just makes you want to get to the next book.

Cruising For a Bruising `Is the Bitch Dead or What?' by Wendy Williams and Karen Hunter highlighted the life of Ritzgina `Ritz' Harper. Ritz was the most successful radio DJ in New York City. She was known for being a shock jock because she was always exposing someone's deepest secrets. Her revelations had ended a rap artist's career, uprooted a preacher's marriage, and even sent her best friend, Tracee, into retirement. The station's employees also felt the brunt of her brash behavior and `divatude' but accepted it because she was successful. She kept ratings up and WHOT on top of the charts and everyone respected that, so they would deal with her demands and insults until the numbers were different. While leaving the studio one evening, Ritz became the victim of a drive-by shooting. Tracee was not allowed to visit with Ritz, so the next of kin had to be contacted. Aunt Maddie and Uncle Cecil had not spoken to Ritz recently due to an argument they had but they wanted to be supportive of their niece, whom they had raised since she was a child. Upon their arrival, Ritz was comatose. In her state of unconsciousness, Ritz talked with her deceased mother about life, love, mistakes, and forgiveness. Ritz, true to form, dismissed most of the lessons her mother attempted to help her see. The truth laid in limbo, as did Ritz Harper. Her reality was as unstable as her breathing. Was she really the bitch she portrayed on her radio show, `The Ritz Harper Excursion'? Would she realize how delicate life is, if she made it? Or will she survive and be more treacherous than before? Wendy Williams and Karen Hunter put together a well-paced novel. They developed their characters thoroughly and I did not witness any grammatical errors. Is the Bitch Dead or What? is the second book to The Ritz Harper Chronicles. The first installment is titled `Drama is Her Middle Name'. Is the Bitch Dead or What? is definitely a stand alone as I was unaware of the first novel and enjoyed it. I did not feel unconnected to the story in the least. I recommend this novel to any reader who likes drama and celebrity scandal. I also cannot help but wonder if Wendy has a little of Ritz in herself. There is definitely going to be a third novel and I hope Wendy does not keep her audience waiting too long. Reviewed by Darnetta Frazier APOOO BookClub

This was a quick read! I have to say the first installment was better because there was so much more drama so that is the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of a 5. Looking forward to the next installment. I personally never heard Wendy Williams on radio but I love reading the Ritz Harper chronicles, both Wendy Williams & Karen Hunter write well together.
