This book was in the the 3 dollar bin at the grocery store (I paid 3 dollars too much!). Donna Hogan is atrocious and one could go as far as to say jealous of Anna Nicole Smith's life and popularity while alive and dead.This book and I call it that loosely is poorly written, repetitive and lacks organization. This leads me to believe that Donna Hogan really didn't know her sister Anna Nicole and is using her as a means to attain some degree of fame, this reader is not won over.
I thought this book would shed some unknown FACTS about Anna Nicole rather than general topics already known and rehashed in the media. This "book" has more photos of Donna and her friends rather than ANS. This book is just Hogan's attempt at her 15 min of fame.
Keep in mind reader that I am not nor have been a fan of ANS so my review is not based on liking her since I really don't have any opinion of her.
Synopsis
She was the most outlandish, outrageous, in-your-face symbol of the age - and suddenly, shockingly, she was gone. In life her antics, adventures and behavior kept a nation riveted; indeath she stunned a world gripped by the surprise and swiftness of her unexpected passing. The woman was, of course, Anna Nicole Smith. This is the story of the little girl from west of nowhere, born into a broken, dysfunctional, dirt-poor family, told by the one woman who knew her best - her sister. Her fierce resolve, pluck, luck and determination allowed her to claw her way to celebrity status, becoming a tabloid staple, and to reach the potential of unimaginable wealth. And then, in a moment, she was gone, not yet 40 years old. A Horatio Alger story with a bitter ending, TRAIN WRECK- The Life and Death of Anna Nicole Smith, is the definitive story of the rise and swift fall of one of the most compelling characters to blaze across the American sky.
