trishafrance 's review for:

4.0

Diary? Heavily-edited diary I'll parie. Extremely entertaining if you like New York 'Wealth' and upmarket Bohemians GOSSIP of the period. Which I do. A more serious literary version of this can be found in Gottlieb's, Avid Reader. Nevertheless, Tina Brown is fearless. I admire her moxie and ability to manoeuvre in the world of press, big bucks and mostly men. I listened to the audiobook narrated by herself. That adds something in the way of what her voice conveys (you decide). Her omissions and gloss-overs are as interesting as what she chooses to expose. It will be hard for me to forgive her for her 'flying-scissors' attack on Jaqueline Kennedy-Onassis. I didn't quite understand her motivation. Trump cameos are aplenty and always deeply disturbing.
