Description
Jamie Angelo is part artist and part alchemist. His plastic surgery techniques are light-years beyond modern medicine. He can transform a haggard face into a masterpiece of ageless beauty. He is not God. But he is close. To ambitious models like Jaishree Manglani, Jamie is the ultimate fantasy-a master illusionist who can turn her dream of eternal youth into reality. Until the truth about Jami's "art" and "science" is revealed, and a nightmare ensues. Because if there's no such thing as show more perfect beauty, Manhattan's king of beauty might just be the gatekeeper of something other than human. show lessTags

This was such a thought provoking book. Especially in today's current obsession with beauty, instagram fame, facebook likes, excessive narcissism, etc.
I was enthralled from start to finish. This book will stay current against the decades that pass , although it is SO dated at the same time. I stifled laughs at mentions of public payphones etc- but the topic is completely relevant to our current obsession over "beauty" standards.
I listened to this on audiobook and I would reread the actual book again in the future- as a refresher.
I am thoroughly humbled by the message contained in this book. Kudos Mr D'amato!
