I had a love/hate relationship with this book. The format was great, the stories were entertaining and interesting. The author didn't use a bunch of gobbly-gook to get to her point... but... I felt like she spent the entire time trying to impress me with her name-dropping, her "coolness factor", etc etc. Kind of off-putting. The last chapter really turned me off. I totally wanted to take Gus, give him a huge huge kiss and never let him near her again. Maybe I'm just sensitive like that.

Having said that, her life is very interesting, if over-the-top. Worth a read, but not someone that I would jump at the chance of meeting - those are saved for the likes of Frank McCourt, Haven Kimmel and Josh Purcell-Kilmer.
