This book captured my attention from the first to the last line.
I really love all the characters!

This book focuses on the most mindless aspects of the art world--the parties and openings that are the least interesting aspects of the scene. If you read this, don't think you're getting anything but the most obvious and vapid commentary. I was really disappointed by this book.

this book is one of those you cant put down, sarcastic humor and realistic scenarios. Highly reccomended!

This volume has received mostly favorable reviews and has been promoted as an excellent guide to the 90s art scene in New York. Unfortunately, the neurotic fixation of the author on graphic sex detracts from any appreciation of the "art scene". The organization of the book, especially the 3-5 line interspersed episodes, are distracting. It would have been better to have had 4-5 short stories, than snippets interwoven, so that keeping track of all the characters (with similar fixations on sex, rather than art)might be more easily accomplished. Gives the tone of NCY 90s art scene- but not the substance.

Anyone who has any interest in art or the art world will find this novel an entirely realistic and hugely entertaining read. Highly recommended.
