If you enjoy Steel's novels, you'll like this breathlessly sycophantic "unauthorized" biography. If, on the other hand, you think of Steel as the writer of banal, pulpy potboilers, you'll yawn your way through this disorganized compendium that skims over disastrous marriages to felons but lavishly describes who wore what jewels to which fabulous party.
