A fun, trashy romp thru the 60s & 70s, tracing the rise of Tony Alexander from lowly gas station attendant in small town Florida to top male supermodel in New York City as he looks for love. Rather Jackie Collinsesque

This book was sincerely one of the trashiest things I've ever read. It also has some incredible imagery (particularly noteworthy for Durhamites who ever made it to Ringside) and unforgettable characters. I pick it up every so often and find myself slamming through the whole thing in a day or two, just like the first time. I can only imagine this is how women my mother's age respond to Jackie Collins.

I absolutely LOVED this book! One of the best I read last summer! Tony Alex amenos is like the boy-next-store with the looks, the body - and everything you'd every want! An exception debut novel set in the carefree, pre-AIDS dawn of the disco era! Loved it; loved it!!
