Russell James Book

This was not what I was expecting. What I thought was going to be an expose on strong independent women who are finding new ways to break through the infamous glass ceiling, turned out to be a talk-show style over the top feature about women portrayed as stereotypical privileged New Yorkers.

If you do any outside research you'll find that many of the women Simon Doonan profiles have led fascinating, and often, glass-ceiling breaking lives, but his cliche interview style doesn't do these women justice. What you're left with is what you started with- a flamboyant out and proud man drooling over women who probably could care less if he adores the apron they're sporting during their interview.

I wanted to like this book and it really wasn't all that bad, but while the intentions were good the execution was painfully annoying.
