While it was interesting to learn some of the facts about Anna Nicole Smith's death, I really wasn't thrilled with how the book was written. Yes, it was easy to read and follow, but I felt that this was more the story of how Judge Larry Seidlin handled the case of where her body was to be buried. Many times he sidetracked into how HE kept things moving along and how HE got Howard K Stern to keep coming to court, even though he didn't have to keep coming. Although I feel Judge Seidlin seems to be a nice guy, this book felt more like a puff-up-his-ego thing to me than a tell all about Anna Nicole Smith. I am far from being a prude, but I also have to say that while it shows her beauty, the cover photo seems a bit "soft porn-ish" to me.

If you're interested in listening to Judge Larry Seidlin talk about his accomplishments and put himself up on a pedestal for 337 pages, then you'll love this book. He has an ego as big as Texas and never fails to show you that in this book.

This book is Judge Seidlin's rambling attempt to recapture the trial of Anna Nicole Smith's death and burial but it's so disjointed, as are his missives, that at times it's almost impossible to follow. He writes, just as he speaks, in train of thought but the train often derails.

On the up side, there are some actual court transcripts that he reiterates and some information that's interesting about the trial and it's players, but on the whole there's nothing in this book that you didn't know about if you followed the trial and story of her death.

The only thing I was "troubled" with is his feelings for Howard K. Stern and how that was never legally pursued.

It's an interesting, but confusing read if you have nothing better to read.
