I suppose 4 stars would've been more generous, but neither she nor her editors picked up on errors such as "Gray (sic) Gardens" for the Bouvier documentary that spawned the Broadway musical, nor for "Bear Stern (sic)" for the brokerage/finace company. Lots of celeb name-dropping (esp Andy Warhol). The writing itself is pretty good, although the compilation struck me as a dozen or so pieces too long.
