awful

I don't think I have ever read such a load of malarky in my life. The "author" seems to have written this book for the express purpose of bragging that he slept with the subject and using what he thinks are his "writing skills" to cram as many silly and mis-used adjectives into every sentence he writes. It reads like a 10th grader trying desperately to impress an English teacher. The book is full of quoted conversations that this courtesan had with any number of people- conversations he couldnt possibly know anything about, let alone quote verbatim. The book really doesnt tell this woman's story at all. It's just endless pages of rambling psycho-babble bedtime conversations he supposedly had with this woman. If I had to read how she reached for a cigarette with her slender manicured fingers while stretching out her long legs on the sofa and deeply sighing.....my God.

A Disaster Starring the Author's Ego.

Let me explain my low rating. By selecting this book, I knowingly chose to watch the train wreck that was Vicky Morgan's life. What I wasn't counting on was the author's sadly predictable and trite introduction of himself as a major character (and "love" interest) in the story, further complicating this miserable girl's wasted life. The book was interesting enough, in the way that any unfolding disaster is interesting, but you may discover that of all the sleazy men Vicky Morgan used and was used by, the sleaziest wrote the book.

poor beautiful girl in rich lifestyle

I really enjoyed the book Beautiful bad girl the Vickie Morgan story. It was about a beautiful lady with a models face from modest means who was not bad but was a kept mistress for the rich and powerful Alfred Bloomindale.I believe alfred bloomindale really cared for her but did not want to divorce his wife Betsy for her. after alfreds death his widow cut Vickie morgan completely off of the money that alfred had set for her,eventually leading to her death with vickie choosing some very wrong men for her. I thought Vickie Morgan was a smart woman on her own. and could of made big money for her and her son as a top model but it seemed she had very low self confidence,despite being beautiful and she seemed to think she needed a powerful man like alfred bloomindale to take care of her even though she really did not. I thought it was a really good book. It was better than I thought it would be. I recommend it for the people who love reading books about sex,power,money, and beautiful people.

Do Not Recommend!

This woman was a mess, and does not seem to have the ability to look inward. I found no way to care about her. The author was either very gullible, or was so anxious to write the book he wrote the story the way she wanted it written.

interesting book

this is such an interesting story and certainly fits many of those suspense movies where the rich guy needs to get rid of somebody!

Bit of a disappointment.

It seems as if the author of the book is making his relationship with Vicki Morgan the focal point of the book. Morgan certainly lived a troubled life, but the author seemed to exploit the issue by making himself a main character in the book.

5 star

Haven't finished reading but so far so good. Purchased because of history and ties into close friends and appointees of Nancy & Ronnie Regan.
