Mediocre at best.
Nothing extraordinary or unknown.
Diamond's memoir seems like a self ego stroke feast rather than story telling.
Her "traumatizing" event isn't quite a the big deal she makes. She could have turned it into a positive rather than running away from it.
Everything is quite vague other than her writing on her "beauty".
I can't recommend this book. It borders on annoying, lame and boring. You will scan pages just to get to the end of the book.
Synopsis (B&N) Every year, hundreds of the most beautiful people in the world come to New York to become models. At age fourteen, Cheryl Diamond was one of them. Living on her own in a run-down apartment, Cheryl spent her days on go-sees, runways, and shoots, surviving hand-to-mouth, while taking in everything she could about the tough and sleazy modeling industry. She watched other girls make mistakes, and swore she wouldn't be a victim...until a career-altering event changed her life and nearly ruined her shot at her dream.

I must say that even though the book isn't anything special, it still is a very good book and I definitely recomend this book. Even though you may not agree with Cheryl Diamond's views on a few things doesn't mean no one will like the book!!
This book is great you should read it! It's interesting throughout and it's appealing because it really happened. It is one of the only books written in the perspective of a model. I definitely recommend it!
