Summary: An eye-opening read
Comment: Very startling information about Martha, quoted from the people who know her well..friends, co workers, and family members. It also had a lot of interesting background info about Ms. Stewart that I think few people know about. It has a very National Enquirer tone about it, but I found it to be fascinating none the less. Wether you love her or hate her, I think most would enjoy this book.

Summary: The perfect summer read- deception with good things too!
Comment: Well, I always knew that something was a little cracked about America's "diva of domesticity", and this book just proves my suspicions to be true.
However, it was hard to believe that the author hadn't heard of her until late 1994, because she was certainly in my consciousness by then- (growing up the granddaughter, daughter, and niece of Martha Stewart groupees will do that to you. I hope not to continue that chain of insanity.)
Also, the small mention of 70's nude pool parties at the Stewart home was odd. I don't think Martha ever gets naked...
Before I give any more juicy details away, read this book. If you love Martha Stewart, you won't be able to put it down. If you hate Martha Stewart, you won't be able to put it down.....

Summary: Fascinating book on one of pop cultures icons
Comment: Before the story broke about the insider trading scandal involving Martha Stewart, I did not have a good idea of who she was. I was curious to find out so I purchased "Just Desserts". The book did not seem to be a "hit piece", as others have portrayed this book. What I found was a writer who disected the image from the the real person. It is a very interesting study on Martha Stewart's troubled past regarding her domineering father and Martha's need to become rich and famous no matter what the cost and no matter who got in the way. I came away feeling very sorry for her. Whether you are a fan of her's or not, the book does a very good job of showing the fake from the real. The onscreen personae and her real actiions behind the scenes will shock and astound. The author also delves into the fantastic business savy that Stewart displayed throughout her career. Often underestimated, but always on top of things. A real modern day Jeckyl and Hide story. A very good read.
