FREE PARTY MONSTER: A FABULOUS BUT TRUE TALE OF MURDER IN CLUBLAND PDF James St James | 288 pages | 02 Sep 2003 | SIMON & SCHUSTER | 9780743259828 | English | New York, NY, United States Party Monster: A Fabulous But True Tale of Murder in Clubland by James St. James The book is hysterically funny, making you Party Monster: A Fabulous But True Tale of Murder in Clubland at some of its most sordid moments. A lot of kids seem to worship Micahel Alig without knowing who or what they are idolizing. The real deal was not very charming and few people I know have anything nice to say about him. It is a documentary of the times, when parties would spring up at a moments notice and the most commonplace could become a happening. The creativity and fun drained out as the Party Monster: A Fabulous But True Tale of Murder in Clubland took over. The glamour had faded and it became messy, inchoherent and just plain sad. Still, James St. James manages to tell it all, honestly and with a sense of elan. Since the death of "Downtow" there has never been a thing to ever replace it. It was a time and a place that so many cling to though media representations. You had to be there or you will have never understood it. James St. This story is smart, witty and shockingly TRUE. They are hardly relevant anymore, but that doesn't mean you can't relive all their glory. It's a quick read and incredibly entertaining. A fabulously lurid tale, and Mr. St James is an able and entertaining writer. Club Kid New York is painted here in bright, gaudy colors, and I was even seduced by the amoral scoundrels who inhabited that strange, surreal world. Unfortunately the author's writing voice occasionally tends toward the screechy note: using caps, bold, and italics does Party Monster: A Fabulous But True Tale of Murder in Clubland, in fact, make a story more excitingbut nevertheless, well worth the read.

I went to several bookstores and could not find the book. Finally, someone suggested to look on ebay. I was so happy to find it on ebay for a great price. My niece had a big smile when she opened her present. She has read it twice already and mentions that it is her favorite book. I asked her to let me borrow it so I can also read it. She mentioned that the book is better than the movie. Great book! Great buy! This book is a very well written documentary of the life and times of James St. James and Michael Alig. I had seen the movie several times years ago and they did a good job of sticking close to the book. If you liked the movie you'll like the book. They are basically the same but the book goes into more detail of trying to make you understand the thought processes and ideals of St. James and Alig. Whenever I get hooked on a book I will read it all within 3 days usually. I got through this book in one! Witty Author James St. James recalls his days as as a club kid vividly and colorfully in this wildly funny memoir! Party Monster: A Fabulous But True Tale of Murder in Clubland was skeptical at first because the movie was absolute garbage but, I had seen the documentary and thought the book may be an Party Monster: A Fabulous But True Tale of Murder in Clubland read, which it was.
