Disappointed Bought this thinking it would be a perfect read for a coach journey！ Why did Joan Collins think that this repetitive exercise of mainly restaurant visits could be of any possible interest to the masses？ Perhaps her publishers saw this as a potential commercial success？ Like this feisty glamorous actress but so disappointed in this book。 She can do better！

This is an incredibly dull book。 There are no stories， a whole bunch of name dropping and I don’t see the point of it。 I thought it would be a biography or interesting inside Hollywood tales but no。 I’ll have to try another book for that。

This book is an absolute delight for Joan Collins fans！ I enjoyed every single page。 The book is a compilation of diary entries， so it is likely that not every reader will know every person she mentions。 My life and circle of friends and acquaintances are very different from hers， so I enjoyed reading about her experiences。 Also， the entries are very candid， but they are her opinions and Joan Collins is definitely entitled to them。 Based on some of the reviews of this book that I saw before read This book is an absolute delight for Joan Collins fans！ I enjoyed every single page。 The book is a compilation of diary entries， so it is likely that not every reader will know every person she mentions。 My life and circle of friends and acquaintances are very different from hers， so I enjoyed reading about her experiences。 Also， the entries are very candid， but they are her opinions and Joan Collins is definitely entitled to them。 Based on some of the reviews of this book that I saw before reading it， I certainly expected it to be nastier than it was。 The book is Joan's perceptions， and I never felt like she was being mean， just candid。 Great fun！ 。。。more

A tedious and disappointing read 。 I have to admit I had to give just 1/4 way through 。 It is Just a stream of "famous" names most of which are unrecognisable me， no real substance ， no big revelations。 A tedious and disappointing read 。 I have to admit I had to give just 1/4 way through 。 It is Just a stream of "famous" names most of which are unrecognisable me， no real substance ， no big revelations。 。。。more

Ok， I’m going to be honest here！I listened to the audio version of this book。 I saw the bad reviews but still decided to give it a try。 I was hoping there would be antidotes on acting funny stories on sets with other stars。What is wrong with this book:1。 The time period- it’s after her stint on Dynasty （and I don’t care if people judge， go for it， but I loved that series）。 Poor Joan had very little work。 She did cameos on the Nanny， wrote a book and did some tours。 In between she went to a few a Ok， I’m going to be honest here！I listened to the audio version of this book。 I saw the bad reviews but still decided to give it a try。 I was hoping there would be antidotes on acting funny stories on sets with other stars。What is wrong with this book:1。 The time period- it’s after her stint on Dynasty （and I don’t care if people judge， go for it， but I loved that series）。 Poor Joan had very little work。 She did cameos on the Nanny， wrote a book and did some tours。 In between she went to a few awards events but then I stopped when she had a go at Australia。（2 hours into an 11 hour Audibook） There wasn’t anything “nice” nor “kind” about anybody she was working with。 If she liked the star - Roger Moore， Clint Eastwood， then she’ll compliment them with one sentence。 But it’s the people who she doesn’t like that really troubles me。 You can’t speak ill of the dead。 They can’t defend themselves when they’re 6 feet under。 I’m not suggesting allegations of any sort but it Frank Sinatra being self-centred or Gregory Peck is a real bore！ （They probably worked out the sort of person she was do they avoid exposing too much of themselves to her！）2。 The set up of this book。 The stories are like diary entries。 If this is the case， it’s a very sad life to just remember the negatives of people you meet or worked with。 Since it’s diary enters， there were parts that was just repetitive- meeting this actor， then another actor ， then going to an awards party and catch up with x，y，z actors/actresses。 It was， this person was at this party with his new wife blah blah blah！！ I can look it up in old gossip magazines and know who was where， who won awards without having to read this book。I stopped at 2 hours 13 mins。 I couldn’t go on because I cannot see this book heading towards a meaningful or inspiring direction。 Nor will I be getting any worthwhile tibits of stars of the past。 I’m surprised something like this was published and sad that someone recommended this as a purchase for my library。 Mostly， I am disappointed by the narrative of this book。 I always had high regard for her as an actress and I love women who aren’t afraid to play the “bitchy” interesting roles on TV/movies。 I guess I wanted a more intellectual side （a bit like Sharon Stone）。If there is any reader who disagrees with this then please comment below。 。。。more

Joan has shot herself in the foot by writing this book。 She comes across as super bitchy， shallow， completely spoiled and the book appears to be a vehicle to settle old scores。 It’s clear she strongly likes Linda Gray and others。

I like Joan and her unapologetic mood but I was a bit confused with all the celebrities， I found myself thinking "who？" It would be better if she has a glossary for who's who but all in all pretty good。 I like Joan and her unapologetic mood but I was a bit confused with all the celebrities， I found myself thinking "who？" It would be better if she has a glossary for who's who but all in all pretty good。 。。。more

Not what I expected。I’ve been a big fan of the ever-youthful and glamorous Dame Joan Collins （DJC） for many years and was given this book as a gift by a friend who knows I’m a fan。DJC has had quite a roller coaster life with a few highs and probably more lows throughout her long career。 Firstly， the diaries are not what I expected and are pretty disjointed with name dropping on an Olympic scale。 That said， I must confess， many of the people mentioned （and it’s a very long list） I had never heard Not what I expected。I’ve been a big fan of the ever-youthful and glamorous Dame Joan Collins （DJC） for many years and was given this book as a gift by a friend who knows I’m a fan。DJC has had quite a roller coaster life with a few highs and probably more lows throughout her long career。 Firstly， the diaries are not what I expected and are pretty disjointed with name dropping on an Olympic scale。 That said， I must confess， many of the people mentioned （and it’s a very long list） I had never heard of。 I think this book would challenge even the most devoted fans of celebrity life， magazines， and TV programmes。It has some likeable moments， but sadly they are few and far between。 One must admire DJC drive， stamina， motivation， and honesty; she’s never dull， not taking herself too seriously。 A large proportion of the diary entries mention parties， and DJC seems to have had a voracious appetite and stamina for parties at any time of day。 However， it’s the parts where DJC discusses her work that is the most interesting for me。Here DJC certainly highlights the shallowness of The Hollywood Scene and the lives of the super-rich。 However， in this book， she doesn't always come out of it too well， particularly with her barbed comments about long-dead， much-loved stars who can’t defend themselves， complaining about their plastic surgery， hair loss， and stars who wear wigs， never mentioning that she herself is never seen without her wigs。 She even calls out stars like Sophia Loren and Racquel Welch for their big teeth， and you get the impression she hates Linda Evans。 All this made me wonder what they’d have to say about the bristling DJC， I don't think it would be very complimentary。 。。。more
