Book excerpt: My first attempt to read Tyra Banks' Modelland started in 2012. It also ended in 2012, somewhere about 20% into the book. I couldn't take any more. There were so many other things I could enjoy, why spend time on Modelland? There were birds...trees...Then, in 2015, I decided "screw birds and trees."I threw up a Kickstarter. Pete's Exhaustive Review of Modelland. And with that, I answered the question, "How much would money would convince me to read Modelland?"A hundo, it turns out. A well-earned hundo.I read the damn book, and as part of the deal, I wrote a long, detailed, exhaustive review.And here it is.Now, full disclosure, this gets long. About 50,000 words long, if numbers matter to you. There was just so much to say, so much to outline, and so many dead ends and wrong turns that made reviewing the book a true challenge. Which details are significant, and which will be dropped almost immediately and without fanfare? Which characters will return, and which will be left to the wayside as completely unimportant? It's impossible to say.But I'll say this: the book itself clocks in at over 500 pages, and I counted exactly ONE decent joke in those pages. So if you want to experience the crazy of Modelland without the pain, or at least without ALL of the pain, then this is the way to go.Think about this like the MST3K of book reviews. Frame by frame, page by page, we'll go through this mother.Crack a beer. Maybe five. Hundred. And enjoy Pete's Exhaustive Review of Modelland.
