Summary: DIANA, YOU TELL IT LIKE IT IS--GO GIRL!!!!
Review: After hearing your radio interviews (I laughed my butt off) and hearing the flight attendants and pilots talking about your book, I just had to get a copy. If you're still out there flying some where I'd love to pat you on the back. The stories and views of catering to the celebrities in flight were right on girl. Anyone with seniority in the airlines will always pick Coach to work to avoid the egos, arrogance, rudeness and tantrums of the rich and famous. Your tongue in cheek outlook will not be picked up by many. Life as a flight attendant, your fellow crewmembers, the behind the scene antics and even the foul language is right on the mark. I'm sure the corporate suits at the airlines are still cringing but rest assured we applaud your guts and honesty. I just re-read your comments on Diana Ross since she just hit the headlines with more of her ATTITUDE. You called that one didn't you?

Summary: definately not first-class--the author, her book, MGM Grand
Review: Basically its a gossipfest about celebs who throw tantrums and get real drunk on the MGM Grand airline (now defunct). Oh and her coworkers who seemed to service every celeb at the snap of a finger--it's just plain sad. And for some reason, MGM Grand flight attendants made great sport of constant farting in the plane. How stupid can it get...I had the feeling that the author was trying too hard to appear cool and witty often throughout the book. And I realized I didn't like the author much--she was cruel in her writings more than once for no reason other than to gossip about an aging flight attendant who was trying to stay youthful (and preserve her job)--the nickname she gave her was just plain mean. The author is the kind of person I usually avoid in favor of people with better and kinder things to say. If you are thinking of reading this book, buy the National Enquirer, it's cheaper and you can line your bird cage with it. PS: Diana, "Kujo" has more class in her vaseline jar than you'll ever have in your little finger. Meow.

Summary: Loopy, funny, but not to be taken too seriously
Review: Decadence and debauchery at 35,000 feet would sum up this book, a rather screwy and hilarious account of the ultimate customers from hell. I can see why a lot of people might be turned off from this, but it's brain candy for anyone who deals with the public -- dishing dirt and naming names. As someone who's worked retail for years, I can say I appreciate much of this book, and the dirt dished is by turns shocking, depressing, and just flat out hilarious.That said... well, the fact that so many names are named tells me that a lot of what's said here is either fish stories or falls into the "you can't make this up" category -- celebrities behaving badly, celebrities behaving well, and incompetent management. Yes, it's all incredibly low-class, but that's what the author (who was known in those days by the nickname "Dirty Diana" herself, even though she claimed she didn't engage in all of those things... yeah, right...) wants you to think. Those who have never worked service jobs probably can't appreciate this except as a highly questionable, if extensive, piece of celebrity gossip; therefore, you might decide on a read to agree with those who gave it one star. That's understandable; it's not a book for everyone. Prudes and those with no sense of humor need not apply. As for me, I'd very much like to know who the attendant she referred to as "Body Beautiful" who went on to her own sitcom was...
