couldn't get through it, and this was on audiobook, too! basically a long "who's who" of palm beach circa 1997, if you care. i didn't. he teases you with the idea that someone is going to die, and it'll be this great murder mystery, but the murder took too long to happen. i was halfway through the audio book and no one had died yet, it was just vignettes about rich people spending money and stabbing each other in the back. Wow. I always thought Las Vegas was the most greedy and soullesscity in the USA, but now I guess that distinction goes to Palm Beach.Maybe anybody that had a grain of humanity in them was just too boring to write about. It was interesting to see how championship "users"fought to see who could out use the other. Petty petty petty people.I think the author was just as shallow as those he was writing about.I get the impression he wormed his way into their society just towrite this book. The book did make me very grateful that I never rose above the middle class.
it was a little dull in parts but I enjoy reading true stories of debauchery among the elite.

I quit reading this book. I really couldn't get into it. I didn't even finish it.

It's like reading People magazine; scathing commentary on Palm Beach scene!

Well, since I've moved into the county I might as well get the scoop.

Very interesting, but does not make Palm Beach sound very good!
