I didn't think it was particularly well written, and I felt that some of his characters were embellished for shock value, but still would recommend it to anyone interested in TV. BTW, I am a big fan of The Villages and did not find it at all offensive, though I am not easily offended.

I just read the more informative parts of it and skipped the more soap opera like ones as I heard a lot about these from others who had read it who talked about it when it first came out around 2008. Many of the small dog people at Doggie Doo Run Run spoke at length about the racy parts.
My Mom just got it for her July 9 birthday as a gift from my older brother. He may regret that choice of books though. I may take another look at the book when my Mom is done with it if she does not throw it in the toilet.
