Book Review of Party Monster : A Fabulous But True Tale of Murder in Clubland

Party Monster : A Fabulous But True Tale of Murder in Clubland
reviewed on + 9 more book reviews


I just cannot believe that this story is true! But, there is plenty of documentation about the lives of the "Club Kids" and Michael Alig from the mid 80's to the mid 90's. James St. James has a unique writing style, but you can really feel his personality come through on every page. (Which also helps progress the story. Its a little disjointed and sometimes seems nonsensical, but then you realize what a crazy life these club kids were living and it all comes full circle.) If you've seen the movie, this book definitely helps to expand on the story. Quite a fun read!
