Negative Positive
Title: Great Book. But Really, Get A Life.
Review: I can't say that this true crime story wasn't fresh or interesting; hell, I read it in one sitting. St. James has a clever and sardonic style of writing that grabs the reader by the throat and then he doesn't let go.But reading about the characters and their "lifestyle" only confirms my worst suspicions about the shallowness of individuals seeking fame amongst the "beautiful people." Therefore, I was very indifferent to the angst that most of these pathetic people felt as they tried to outdo each other to Club Land stardom.In the end analysis, St. James' book is yet another in a long line of works capturing the empty, restless, phony world of social climbing. It's no different than "The Great Gatsby," just creepier and more graphic.
