Outrageously wonderful . . . hilarious . . . it is nice to read a book where someone truly enjoys being themselves. She has promised us 'unapologetic' but woo-eee, it is savage. -- Camilla Long * The Sunday Times * These diaries are like their author - fabulously entertaining, impossibly glamorous, and utterly irresistible -- Piers Morgan Even with a life as packed as this, can there be anything left to say? Plenty, it turns out, and with great style and an enormous dash of acid. This is a book to read while sipping a stiff drink, ideally with a gorgeous companion on hand to whom you can read out the choicest bits. She puts on a hell of a show * The Times * A fascinating glimpse into a fabulous life. Dame Joan's private thoughts are as brutal, withering and funny as you'd expect -- Julian Clary The inimitable Dame Joan shares her views on the world and her showbiz chums without deference to political correctness * Daily Telegraph * From encounters with the Royal Family to experiences at star-studded parties, this is a book packed with insight and fun * Red * A wonderfully rich and mesmerising diary. Full of insight and revelation -- William Boyd These diary entries are brilliantly candid, with name-dropping aplenty. A rollicking read, packed with wit and old-school glamour * Sunday Telegraph - Stella Magazine * Unapologetic to say the least. Alexis Carrington hasn't got anything on Dame Joan -- Tracey Emin CBE RA Combative and gloriously indiscreet, Dame Joan Collins leaves a trail of walking wounded in her wake with her waspish observations of Hollywood, theatre-land and monarchy. It's why she is showbusiness royalty -- Andrew Pierce What a treat to delve into Joan Collins's diaries; a treat from start to finish -- Elizabeth Hurley
