I enjoyed this book, however, some folks may find it offensive in some areas (language and situations). I'm not sure how many of the stories are based on fact, but it's kind of like reading a People or US magazine that's based on Palm Springs history.

Fun book. Easy read. Who doesn't love scandals about hollywood and Palm Springs?!?

The stars today have nothing on the celebrities from days gone by. The stuff that went on in Palm Springs in its hey day is pretty shocking and I am not easily shocked. This book is hard to put down.

This collection of Palm Springs Stories is a fun read...
They could have added more candid pics, and added a
few more celebs, but its still interesting! Guess we
will have to wait for part 2 to find out more about
Carmen Miranda, Frank, Lucy and Desi...

I bought this book on a whim in at a Palm Springs bookstore. I want my money back. It is padded with stock pictures, stories based on rumor that end abruptly, and just about every person mentioned in the book is either gay or suspected of being gay, according to the author. What makes that part laughable is the author apparently is gay as well, bragging about his own week of debauchery at a P.S. resort. If the people in the book were alive they would have a great class action suit against Mungo. If Mungo had any balls he'd take on people that could actually fight back. One of the worst pieces of self serving trash ever published. This book deserves a no star rating, but [Amazon.com] doesn't provide for one.
