review 1: Read it, but don't believe one word of it at all. SPOILER ALERT SUMMARY: A savvy,country boy became a: gas station attendant/hustler/pimp/porn model/sperm donor/teetotaler bartenderto royalty, celebrities and everyone else richand famous, discreetly for FREE! He was never caught by any authorities while offering "full service" since theywere all gullible/stupid. There are no photos of him hangingout by the pool or anywhere else for that matterwith his "friends" His "friends" are all now deceased so they are unavailable to corroborate his stories. Still, this hustler manages to rub elbows and otherparts of his anatomy in very unlikely socialcircles. He was liked/loved by everyone he met and they became good/best "friends" This book has the ring of "full fabrication" It coul... moredn't pass as bad fiction. Simply an awful waste of time.
review 2: This one is for readers of Hollywood memoirs who like biogs untarnished and raw. I read this book vacillating between “Surely he’s making all this up!” and “This is so far-fetched it must be true!” the whole way through. There is a lot of name-dropping and after a while I found myself thinking “Oh? Him too? And her? And him and him and her and her as well? Who didn’t you do???” In the end I decided that it’s probably largely true, but that he’s written about his singularly unique life the way he remembered it, not necessarily the way it actually happened. Does that make Bowers an unreliable narrator? Yes. Does it also make him an interesting one? Also yes. less
