This book basically consists of accounts of groupies, from the cute to the disgusting. Pamela has a few (and a section about how Penny Lane from "Almost Famous" was about her) I loved Cassadra Peterson's- aka Elvira's- accounts the most. She was just young and teased the musicians just so she could be around them. It's crazy to read about how she made out and ran on Jimmy Page, Jimmy Hendrix, etc. then eventually lost her virginity to Tom Jones(!!!) Some of the later accounts are just depressing, as one girl who runs a website that is just photos of "famous musicians" penis's talks about her creepy hobby and how she had sex in a dirty basement with a skanky member of one of the worst bands ever, Dope. It's worth checking out (mainly for the stories about Elvira and a male groupie) but otherwise I just can't say it's worth the $25 unless you're a huge fan of the author.
