Janice Dickinson

She's gorgeous, she's hilarious, she's outrageous, she had lots of fabulous stories, and if you sit close enough she just might share them with you. Yes, it is the incomparable Janice Dickinson. Back in her third book labeled self help this time, although really it is more of a memior. She is handing out "Advice" on how to pick up and dump men, but actually telling you all about how she does it. Lots of fun and if you enjoy hearing salacious things, this book is a can't miss.

Filled with sex, drugs, and rock and roll, Janice Dickinson's first memoir is a no-holds barred look at life as America's first supermodel, as she so aptly bills herself.

The book is easy and light enough as a beach read, although it touches on many sad aspects of her life-her troubled relationship with her father, and the problematic relationships it causes with finding a mate in life. Coupled with meaningless binges in drugs of all kinds and plenty of alcohol, and you have the life of a show more woman who has lived too much, too fast.

That being said, there is something of a happy ending. She has a family, and is able to realize her worth for being something other than a supermodel.

I personally preferred to read about her early years in Florida as a nobody dreaming of making it big, than I did hearing about her random sexcapades with big named stars, or comments about other models and their thighs/lack of beauty.

Janice may be difficult and demanding, and that does show in her book. However, she also came across as real too, and for that I applaud her.

I'd read it again for a light read, to balance out any difficult or heavy books I was currently reading. show less

There is no literary weight to this book (surprise surprise). However, it is cool to read through an honest story of a different life. There are many famous names in it and shocking stories. It almost felt like reading through 80s and 90s people magazine. :)

Great book- the narration was very powerful. The beginning and middle of the book was so intense. However, I did feel like the end of the book was contrived. Perhaps her other books can make up for what this ones end was lacking.
