Review # 1 was written on 2016-11-26 00:00:00 Anthony Rael The music pounds, the champagne flows. There is brimstone in the air along with poison and obsession and vendetta.it is the smell of a factory that feeds on young girls. Model: The Ugly Business of Beautiful Women: by Michael Gross Positives: I liked the Author's writing. The dark side of t he fashion industry was absolutely captured. I feel the writer is quite talented. The negatives? What I thought I'd like best was what I wound up liking least. I had been looking forward to reading about some of the models. But aspects were way to gossipy and focused so greatly on their love lives. I guess I should have expected it..the book is about Fashion..and Models after all! But I really wanted to know more about the women themselves, the different personality aspects that made them who they are. I came at it from a more psychological perspective . This book wasn't BAD or anything but it wasn't as powerful as I'd have liked and honestly? After awhile , the models started to blur into each other and I got bored. I had not imagined myself being bored with a book on an industry like this but there you go. It happened.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-09-17 00:00:00 Filton George The book was amzingly researched and look how low the ratings are. I believe this book was unintentionally written for a limited audience. I think the author is really into fashion and is pre-occupied with models but he forgot that most people aren't. If you're in the fashion biz you'll know most, if not all the names mentioned in this book. If not, they'll be too many names for you to keep track of. I think this 3 star rating this book has earned overall has been unearned and given by people outside the focus and sphere of the book's intended audience. I give it 5 stars to try to counter-balance their low ratings.
