A really interesting memoir from someone who worked on the edges of the entertainment/celebrity industry. Filled with interesting details, and many celebrities with interesting lives. Entertaining, illuminating, and engaging. Recommended for anyone with an interest in celebrity culture.

I found this book to be a bit depressing. I had no idea what I was really getting into at first. I didn't really care for Mr. Sutherland but I was so taken by his brutal honesty that you couldn't really not like him. I put my kindle down several times to digest what I had just read but it was like watching a train wreck you couldn't seem to look away from the carnage and boy, there seemed to be a lot of it. I've never really had any insight regarding this lifestyle and this helped answered a lot of my questions.

This is a well-written account of one man's misery and you can't help but feel his pain. It's not for the faint of heart.

I would like the thank Netgalley and the publisher for an e-galley in exchange for my honest review.

This was super fun! I'll admit the combination of John Sutherland and celebrity gossip intrigued me, but previous reviews got this right, it's a wonder at their relationship that father and son could write this together. The world Jack describes in LA, his engagement with a very niche part of gay culture, is written mostly with pride, so sign of the embarrassment you might expect in a father son joint piece with so much sex. His discussion of drugs is told very matter of fact, perhaps the sign of years of steady, structured recovery. He does have a weakness for name dropping, over extending anecdotes of short encounters (esp. Micky Rouke) but I can excuse that in a book this fun.
