I could totally see how this book flew off the shelves in the 60's and how it inspired a movie. It was SCANDALOUS! I wouldn't really describe it as well-written but I flew the through the 450 pages thanks to the juicy storyline. The book basically chronicles 20 years of the lives of three women who are involved in show business. It follows them through drug addiction, endless partying, mental hospitals, and suicide.

Overall, I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a quick enjoyable read. Although it is quite long and it did take me a while to get into, once I did, I could hardly put it down.
