Review # 1 was written on 2014-03-05 00:00:00 Brenda Elmore Would give it a 5 out of 10. I've read two of his books, though not his most famous, I Can Get It For You Wholesale. I find that he tends to overwrite -- but in his novels, not enough to affect my enjoyment. In this memoir, I found it tiring -- along with so many arbitrary metaphors. Example: "Sheen's eyes went up like a couple of window shades snapping free from their restraining ratchets." I liked the anecdotes about authors and other notables from the 30s-60s...the parts about Dick Simon and Simon & Schuster especially.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-06-08 00:00:00 William Tiffin I was hoping for some tales about the author growing up on the lower east side and was disappointed to find mostly anecdotes and gossip about one time celebrities.
