Good short chapters, not long and drawn out. Interesting details for those familiar with those years, not all about the Mod Squad show either. Enjoyed it.

This book was a lot of fun -- who slept with who in the 60's. Very interesting stories - a quick and fun book to read.
Pretty good, and easy reading.

I have always been a big fan of Peggy Lipton's and I couldn't wait to read her book. That's why I was doubly disappointed when I finished it. Not that it is a bad book, on the contrary. It's just not a good book. There are seventy-four chapters and I think that is the problem. Each chapter is so short that as soon as I was interested in a chapter it was over and it was on to the next one. She does talk (however briefly) about her childhood in New York, becoming a model, her instant fame on The Mod Squad, Paul McCartney, meeting and eventually marrying Quincy Jones, her children and other parts of her life but it's almost as if some aspects were just touched on and not delved into. I'm not sure why. The book has the usual celebrity aspects one would expect (such as some drug use and talk of affairs with married men who aren't named) but I kept wanting the writers to really go behind the actions to discuss the person in depth. I've always felt Peggy Lipton was underrated as an actress and I wish the book could have made me say the same thing about her as a writer. Sadly, it cannot. I'll give this book two stars for her honestly about her life and the fact that I had a crush on "Julie Barnes" of The Mod Squad when I was a kid. But I really can't recommend this book.
