Review title: Awful-Nothing like cashing in on Daddy's name
Product review: I started this book hoping to find a thoughtful, absorbing account of how somebody can sink into alcoholism but ultimately survive. Was I off base. What I found instead was a lurching, unfocused, egocentric chronicle of all of Cheever's various love affairs and famous people she would just happen to bump into for lunch. The first few chapters, when she talks about the origins of her alcoholism and how widely social drinking was accepted in the 50s and 60s, are moderately interesting, but the book quickly degenerates from there into a litany of name-dropping and sexual escapades. Who cares? If she was trying to impress readers with her supposed attractiveness, I think she needs to wake up and get a life. Not only is her egocentricity and immaturity overwhelming. At one point she compares herself to Shirley Jackson-I wanted to ***. If this book hadn't been written by someone with a famous name, it never would have seen the light of day.
