Negative Positive
Title: For me, this was a sad disappointment.
Review: I'm sure that Maureen Orth's career will carry on without false high praise from me. I want to give my honest opinion of The Importance of Being Famous, and I consider it to be a waste of my money and time. I purchased Ms. Orth's book from the remainder table at a flea market book stall. Usually, I give more attention to the content promised in my book purchases, but I was taken by the author's name and title. Too late I realized that this was a re-hash of previously published articles, and provided little insight into the phenomena of fame, itself.I felt that The Importance of Being Famous was somehow gossipy and boring at the same time, telling me what had been said many times before. Of course, it is my fault that the book was not what I had hoped for, but it is the author's fault that it was dry as the bones she picked over.I would not recommend this book to a friend.
