I'm with the Band: Confessions of a Groupie
Mostly a "grottie" story of a woman whose ambitions to star-doom focused more on the availability of her genetalia than on her talent. Name f'ing for the sole sake of name dropping. This review may not be published but it is true. I mostly felt so heart broken about her choices that the addition of the proximity of the famous was not enough to make those choices worthy.
 Surprisingly good writing and an engaging memoir November 4, 2007

I didn't know what to expect from this book, to be honest, but I was wonderfully surprised. Pamela Des Barres writes very well and is a really good storyteller. Her antics in the Sixties and Seventies are legendary, and she tells her story with humour and style.
The thing that impressed me the most about this book was how very well the author paints a picture of an era. You're really transported to a time and place. I'm a bit too young to remember much of the Sixties, but I certainly got a hippie-chick's eye view of it from this book, and I'm glad I did.
An interesting self-portrait of a self-confessed eccentric and a fascinating look behind the scenes of the rock (and country rock) world, put together in an easy going, relaxed, and above all FUN read.

Pamela's fresh witty writing style brings a gorgeous time in the late 60s sparklingly to life. You'll be consumed with jealousy reading this book, but it is a trip well worth taking as you get an intimate insightful backstage look at the great legends of music. This book inspires you to live life to the fullest and strive for your dreams, whatever those dreams may be, just like Pamela Des Barres. I could not put this book down, it's exciting, stimulating, and beautiful.
 Very entertaining ! October 25, 2007

Miss Pamela's account of those great 60's in terms of music, sex & drugs is very entertaining. More pic's and an index at the end would improve it, though.

Miss Pamela has sure had a fun & colorful life! She is the quintessential California golden child, a free spirit from a kindler, gentler age.
What a fun page turner! What an eternal optimist she is. What a unique, charmed life she has led. And what an entertaining book she has written!
