Very Important People: Status and Beauty in the Global Party Circuit by Ashley Mears

informative medium-paced

2.5

The book was quite repetitive at the beginning. Personally I did not like the structure and pacing of the book. By the end I was skimming as I had lost interest. It is very informative about the VIP culture. This was my first time learning about it and the book is good at explaining the relationships and dynamics. I also liked the fact that the author is objective when needed but never judgemental of the subjects of her study. Do give it a try if you’re interested in the dynamics of power in the VIP night life culture.
