sireno8's review against another edition
4.0
As absorbing as its subject matter, the book argues convincingly that gossip is unavoidable, necessary and not always evil. As an added bonus, Epstein manages to deliver much gossip while offering it for study. Though some of his arguments seems a bit circular and the text can sometimes feel repetitive, you're driven to read on by what you might uncover. Deft, sly and thought-provoking.

I hated this book.
I only finished it out of spite.

It would have been nice to see a more in-depth analysis of the psychology/sociology of gossip, not just dirt on celebrities.
