This is a very well-written biography. Read it even if you think Edie was completely vapid and uninteresting. ( )

In this tragic and transfixing book written as a series of transcribed interviews with those that knew her and in imitation of Warhol's verite cinamatic style we slowly discover an emotionaly fragile society girl almost pre-programed for self destruction as she is seduced by a world of drug driven sex, art, fashion and music, surrounded by the famous and infamous very willing to use her but unable or unwilling to help her, primarily the enigmatic voyouer Andy Warhol. ( )

the IT Girl for the Warhol crowd (or at least for fifteen minutes--maybe more) this is a very interesting read it gives you quite a glimpse into the Studio 54 life and times and once you've read it you should really should see "Ciao Manhattan" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068379/ ( )
