Kirkus Reviews

I have never read a book that is capable of changing the reader's life or the way that one looks at certain things. Gail Hudson, of Kirkus Reviews, and I agree on many aspects of the book and Paulo Coelho. She thinks that the book is "a bag of wind" that "Americans should flock to like gulls".

Ben Stiller's satire continues to be a fan favorite (even though Zoolander 2 slightly jeopardized the brand). As many times as you've watched those epic moments and interactions between Derek and Hansel, there are still many facts you don't know about "Zoolander."
