Summary: We all need to have online manners
Review: I am currently enjoying this book and am almost finish. I recommend it as an entertaining read. UNFORTUNATELY, DLFLYERS ruined the ending. As I was reading the reviews on this website, he blurted out the end for all to read. Thanks for nothing.!!!!! It's common sense. People come to this site for opinions on the book, not the outcome!!

Summary: I love name dropping and I love Gus
Review: This book is an intriguing expansion of the the trial that gripped America for all those months. My interest was instantly aroused via the Vanity Fair articles by Mr Dunne. The Book - well yes - lots of name dropping and party dropping but hey - if you live it - why not report it - life's too short to be humble - I, for one, am fascinated. Mr Dunne is welcome at my humble table any day of the week.

Summary: Very gossipy and entertaining
Review: Despite the constant name dropping (Princess Diana, Margaret Thatcher, Nancy Reagan, et al), this book was an entertaining read. It doesn't provide a great insight into the trial (it's not meant to) but still, highly entertaining.

Summary: his most tragic and true book to date
Review: i have been reading dominick dunne's books for over 15years now and have never cried as hard as i did at the end of this book when Gus Bailey was killed. It was like losing a good friend as he was in the book People Like Us and I loved the character from that moment. I know that he based the character on himself and that made it even harder to take. The book itself is a magnificant take on the whole OJ Simpson trial fiasco and was written with his usual wonderful style. I would love other readers comments on this book and any others he has written.

Summary: Nothing But Name-Dropping
Review: At first I was amused by Dunne's constant name-dropping, then I was annoyed by it. By the end of the book I was laughing at it. Geez ...do you really think we care that Gus got a second row seat at Eva Gabor's funeral!!! Get a life.

Summary: C'mon, give Dom a break
Review: I think some of the other reviewers are being awfully hard on Dominick Dunne and this novel. Is it really a surprise that a book by Dunne would contain name-dropping? I found this to be a fascinating book which I couldn't put down. It's refreshing to find someone who's unafraid to express his candid opinions about the Simpson case without couching them in legalese or PC rhetoric.As for the unusual ending, it didn't bother me. If Dunne wanted to make sure the Gus Bailey character would never cover another murder trial, I can't think of a more original way.

Summary: Quick, gossipy, unusual ending.
Review: The first 400 or so pages of this book were teriffic, but the ending left me wondering why did it have to happen that way? Maybe it is a personal statement from D. Dunne. That is my only guess. I really enjoyed all the celebs in the book, and it was quick, I read it in 2 days, but if I could ask Dunne to explain the very end to me I would.

Summary: Found pseudo-memoir format frustrating
Review: I enjoyed other Dominick Dunne novels, but I found this one stupid. The memoir/novel format was just his Dunne's personal thoughts thinly disguised as fiction. I kept waiting for the real novel to start and it never did.

Summary: Good Dish on OJ Trial
Review: I liked this book because it was different from other OJ books. As Gus Bailey, Dominick Dunn takes us with him to all those Hollywood dinner parties and get-togethers he was invited to. We sit in the courtroom with him. Hallway conversations, whispered words in the courtroom, clandestine meetings with people who may have important information, and just plain gossip of the rich and famous made this book an enjoyable read. Unfortunately, for those of us who thought OJ guilty, it brings back feelings of frustration also.
