August 18, 2009: This book is good if you want to look at pictures of the girls behind the scenes and when they were younger. However if you watched the show then you will know a lot of what they tell in the book. The redeeming qualities are that they give posing, make-up, and style tips, and it has a fun and quirky charm.
It was fun to see their daily schedules while they lived at the mansion, and the different responsibilities given to each girl, and it really provided more into their personalities. I liked how the episode guide each had a comment by one of the girls or Hef, and getting to meet the staff that would occasionally pop up on the show was fun too!I would only reccommend this book to people who are fans of the show, or at least playboy!Reader Rating:

June 06, 2009: I didn't really know what to expect when I first heard they were coming out with a book but when I got it I couldn't put it down. Hugh Hefner is truly an amazing guy to learn about and to follow.. Hes done it all in the time hes been in this world. For me its like reading a fairy tale with the way they lived their life at the Playboy Mansion and if I ever had a chance just to visit I would. Yeah sure some of his girlfriends are "dingy" or "annoying" but they truly lived the life many of us only dream about. I would recommend this book to anyone for it gives great detail about the Playboy Mansion and Hugh Hefner's leading ladies. I loved it at the end where they even gave their home recipes to share with everyone.
