Christopher Lawford is a self-indulgent narcissistic brat born into much wealth and fame. Luckily, he recognized this fact early enough to save himself from the depths of despair, drugs, and alcohol addiction. This book was interesting and full of twists and turns. Although the American people may have seen so many of the events in Christopher's life played out on news footage or in the pages of gossip magazines, no one ever saw his life and his family from this point of view. I experienced periods of really disliking his character, and yet, somehow feeling kind of sorry for him. We are, after all, a product of our environment, and his environment was never anything close to "normal".
