Concierge Confidential: The Gloves Come Off—and the Secrets Come Out! Tales from the Man Who Serves Millionaires, Moguls, and Madmen by Michael Fazio, Michael Malice
3.0
At times fey, bitchy and snide, this is an inside look at the world of a high-end concierge. I like books about professions that are slightly out of the norm, but I must say, there's no well in hell I could be a concierge (mortician or crime scene clean-up, I think I could do).
Very good concierges are part servant, part made man (or woman) and part confessor. The requests can be odd and ridiculous, and as you might imagine, sometimes distasteful. This is a whole other way of living for most of us.
In the end, the book left a bad taste in my mouth - there's no acknowledgement about just how first-world crazy the industry even is, and also because the author is just that nasty side of catty.
