Gossip and More Gossip about the fabulous 70s and 80s, 2. August 1997
Von Ein Kunde
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

5 "Super-Stars", 26. Februar 2000
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.

Mordant, heartbreaking, exhilarating... a must!, 11. Dezember 1999
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!

Stream-of-consciousness, Warhol-style, 28. Februar 1999
If you ever wanted to know what the New York state of mind was in the 1970s and 1980s, then this book is for you. Andy Warhol lived at the center of the "beautiful people" in the New York club/celebrity scene, from his Factory to Studio 54 and seemingly everywhere else. From hustlers and porn stars to the Hollywood glitterati and political movers and shakers, Warhol dictated it all to his diarist, Pat Hackett, who distilled it from 20,000 pages into this huge book. You will be shocked, you will be amused and you will see why there was only one Andy Warhol -- the artist and pop culturist who took a "New York" minute and turned it into 15 minutes of bizarre fame. Don't miss out on this book!

Make that 10 Stars, 29. Juli 2000
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., 5. Januar 2000
For the most part, Warhol gives us a unique look into the complex smarmy world of the celebrity set. He goes into great detail almost on a daily basis of what he did, who he met, his opinions and reactions, etc. Sometimes it gets a little boring, and other times you devour the pages. I found it very hard to swallow about his so called revelation of not using drugs. Either he was carefully concocting this lie or the editors wanted to add more credibility to his stories by omitting any drug usage he probably was doing while running around with the jet set. Still Andy was one of the most colorful and lovable characters ever to emerge from the 60's.

15 mins. and counting..., 15. Oktober 1999
Although lengthy, this was a fun romp through the last days of glam, trashy, disco-era Hollywood. It's a must-read guilty pleasure. I DARE anyone not to laugh out loud at Warhol's dead-pan descriptions. Half of Hollywood still doesn't know whether to laugh or to hide! This is the be-all-end-all for the bedside or coffeetable.

Fun, 10. November 1998
Von Ein Kunde
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. Warhol has a sense of humor that makes this fun to read. One thing I think a lot of readers will wonder about in this book is, Why did Warhol and his successful friends put up with Halston's side-kick Victor Hugo? Victor Hugo was merely a male prostitute that Halston used, then befriended and lived with. And Hugo became part of this fashionable group, but all he ever does is sponge off Halston, insult people and be rude and destructive...But still no one kicks him out of the group? Why did Warhol and his friends put up with this jerk?

A stunning look into the life, mind, and times of a master., 4. November 1998
Von Ein Kunde
This answers the question 'What was Andy Warhol REALLY like?' in a way as enigmatic as the man, himself. Most of the entries are startlingly frank, speaking about a woman's dress in the same sentence he speaks about someone snorting coke in a bedroom. As callous and indifferent as he may have seemed, these diaries prove that Andy was truly immersed in the lives of those around him.
