- Disgusting- Smut(a very old fashioned word that describes the many joyless sex scenes) -A total waste of paper - Plot lines from other books - predictable - A book to never buy or try to read.

This book has moments of brilliant writing, but you have to wade through a lot of squalor and name dropping to find it. In the group, there was a generation divide -- younger than 50 loved it, those more mature thought it was tedious,vulgar,and boring. If you really love the hidden past of "celebrities" you might like this book. As for me, I would rather spend time with more positive people.

Poorly written book, boring, just plain dumb. Did not finish, and several in group did finish it -- and are sorry they wasted their time.
