Reviews

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.
*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
