“Dana Brown has written a book that is part of the current Zeitgeist. In an age where everyone seeks to be famous for 15 minutes, this book takes a look at those who have achieved notoriety and asks what price they paid. Some made great sacrifices while others seem not to have learned anything at all from their experiences. A highly readable compilation of tales about people in the public eye.”
