great book

I had read Michael Gross' book Model and I was so impressed by it that I bought his other books and this was the next one I read and I was totally blown away by it for all the same reasons. Gross is a master of a flowing prose which just effortlessly moves the reader along with a sweeping reach which is perfect for a book like this. Minor details just hit home on every page. I worked at Studio 54 and I think I learned more about the club from this book than I did by working there! For instance I had always believed that Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager had been college friends but reading My Generation I learned that in fact Ian had early on been Steve's lawyer and suddenly the relationship made sense. I am moving in on the 740 Park book now with full anticipation. My Generation is a fantastic book.
