I really enjoyed reading this book, it was interesting to learn about Andy Warhol and the muses he had. It was informative and worked with the overall feel that I was expecting. Laurence Leamer wrote this well and enjoyed the overall research that was put into it.

I received this as digital galley from NetGalley.

Well after reading Gopnik's 976 biography of Warhol and this book by Leamer on Warhol's 'muses' my opinion on Andy Warhol has been firmly cemented as an awful person who ruined people's lives!

Leamer does a good job of giving each of Warhol's muses a portrait and personality of their own and I enjoyed reading about the ones that I did not know as much about (Baby Jane Holzer, Ultra Violet) as well as others that I have read lots about (mainly Edie).

Has someone written about how so many 60s counterculture stars experienced wildly conservative turns in their older age? There's something there.
