Pressestimmen
"Kirkus Reviews," 12/15/09
"Hofler delivers a hell of a tour of Hollywood egotism, crassness and gross excess...[A] fast-paced, funny and occasionally horrifying portrait of a compulsive personality and the culture of excess that both created and destroyed him."
"New York Post," 12/16/2009
"A good, gossipy read."
"Connecticut Post," 12/18/09
"[A] juicy biography...Hofler's book will remind Hollywood that there was a lot more to this over-sized character than met the eye and that he is well worth remembering. The writer was able to talk with a wide array of people who were in Carr's orbit for a while--from Stockard Channing to Jerry Herman and Ann-Margret to Arthur Laurents--and they have lots of interesting things to say."
"Publishers Weekly," 1/25/10
"A sex- and camp-fueled romp through the outrageous life of Hollywood producer and impresario Allan Carr (1937-1999). Eschewing the conventional biography model, Hofler instead chronicles Carr's lavish

Not Much Sex, Drugs or Rock N Roll
10. Mai 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book would have better been suited to a magazine article as it dwells on just a couple key events in Carr's life, rather than a more complete tale of the times. If you call Grease and Grease 2 Rock N Roll, than this book is for you.
Lots of long drawn-out depictions of production details of TV shows and a couple flop movies is all you get. Save your money on this one unless you were there and want to rehash the events.

Wild Style
28. Februar 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This bio is a lot of fun and reads like a novel, but is also well-researched. It seems Hofler talked to everyone whoever knew Allan Carr. "Party Animals" is an effective followup to the author's previous biography, "The Man Who Invented Rock Hudson," about agent Henry Willson. "Party Animals" is about another marginal life in Hollywood, but one with real significance. Carr was at the center of Hollywood's party scene for over a decade, and then paid the price when he produced an Oscars telecast that did not meet with the establishment approval. Carr, however, was the one that created the red carpet hoopla that epitomizes today's awards shows. He deserves to be remembered.

Not enough juice
23. Mai 2010
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I gave this two stars because it eventually became interesting for me, but it took a long time to get there. I was glad to be done with this book and I didn't have any affection for the main character Alan Carr. That made it a tough read.
