Format:Taschenbuch
Fascinating tales from the horses mouth. Andy dictated his diary to Pat Hackett at 9:30 am daily from whereever he was in the world. It started out as an expense account diary, but it turned into gossipy dish about the wild times in the Warhol world of the 70s and 80s. One can almost hear Andy speaking the words in his low, whiney voice. Some parts are very very funny, other parts make you want to cry. Andy was a lost soul and it comes through very clearly in his quest for acceptance. This book is large, trimmed down from 20,000 original diary pages, but still too large for a quick read. It almost takes extra time to read the diaries, a lot cannot be absorbed all at once. It is best ingested and enjoyed in small doses. It is really a delight and full of naughty fun

If Andy were here today, he would read all of the reviews written here and speak of them for a couple of pages in his diary, insecurely and half-joking (usual Warhol). A great book, not just on Warhol, but on the face of the rapidly changing American Culture of the 70-80's. You won't find out too much about Warhol (on the day his mother dies there is a mention of Liz Taylors' shoes, but not a word about his mother) but a very, very entertaining read from the mouth of one of the greats who died too soon. Read it. Then read "The Philosophy of Andy warhol", also very good.

A fantastic look inside the head of one of the world's biggest mysteries! And the guide is none other than the man himself.
Under the platinum fright-wig, there was a swiss-made machinery that went on 24/7. This is a description of Andy's last 9 years. At times funny and piquant, at others annoying, it offers the closest thing to an autobiography there ever will be about both man & myth.
A veritable who's who and who's what (and where) of this era is there in vivid detail. From the '54 days, to Bianca and Mick's ugly split, John Lennon's murder which left Warhol aghast, to Truman Capote's passing which made him cry. Phone chats with First Ladies and litterbugs, crushes on rock stars, celebrity weddings and celebrity parties, taxi bills (oh, how he kept track of money!), loneliness in crowds and funny, catty comment on friends and foes alike with the deadpan charm that was his trademark.
This is a most precious document on pop culture and history, as seen through the eyes and lenses of a man who was gifted with talent and was virtuous enough to be totally observant.
Read it and keep it forever!

Make that 10 Stars
Andy is the greatest, he is funny without even trying to be. Very witty, and humorous. All the gossip one would want, he held nothing back. Great photos too.

Lots of amusing, entertaining, interesting talk and info.
For the most part, Warhol gives us a unique look into the complex smarmy world of the celebrity set. Lesen Sie weiter...

15 mins. and counting...
Although lengthy, this was a fun romp through the last days of glam, trashy, disco-era Hollywood. It's a must-read guilty pleasure. Lesen Sie weiter...

Fun
Fun to read, and a book that shows that legends-in-their-own-time (like Warhol, Jagger, etc.) have daily annoyances in their lives, too. Lesen Sie weiter...

A stunning look into the life, mind, and times of a master.
This answers the question 'What was Andy Warhol REALLY like?' in a way as enigmatic as the man, himself. Lesen Sie weiter...

I can't say this book is worthwhile, but boy is it fun, and absolutely addictive! It's like eating the best junk food. You know you should be eating something else (i.e. Lesen Sie weiter...

A fascinating look at a bizarre world
