djblock99 's review for:
The Unfinished Life of Addison Stone
by Adele Griffin
The annoying, yet oddly compelling expose of a fictional teenage artist who makes a huge splash in the New York art scene before flaming out and dying under mysterious circumstances.
I have zero interest in the personal lives of real socialites and celebrities, and kept asking myself why I would want to read about fake celebrities. A few of Addison's friends were interesting, though, and I did end up getting sucked into the story because of their concern. Some of the other characters were despicable. The documentary/interview format of the novel alternated between enjoyable and torturous as a result.
