I never know whay Mr. Parish is going to do, however I am always pleasured by his writings. He loves his subjects and it shows each book is better than the last, my only complaint is that they end! I am ready for sequels.

This is a great fact-filled read which has you snapping through it at a furious pace. Winderful insights into the foibles of our favorites both contemporary and vintage. Parish knows where the bodies are buried and doesn’t mind telling us.

Parrish writes in an easy to read, enjoyable style. A little light sometimes on substance but fun and interesting.

Don’t just do it, go ahead and over do it. That’s the spirit behind this crash course in wretched excess–the latest in “The Hollywood Book of….” series from Jim Parish, an expert on all-things Hollywood from break ups and scandals to box office bombs–and now over-the-top extravagance. They’re all here–the divas, the prima donnas, the child stars run amok. From Mae West to Macaulay Culkin, from Bela Lugosi to Arnold Schwarzenegger, the celebrities that Parish profiles all have one thing in common: their appetites and ambitions are (or were) larger than life.

I liked this book from cover to cover.
No dull moment.
Well-researched and written with panache.
Perfect for a vacation-reading.
Get a copy.
