Easy Rider, Raging Bulls follows the wild ride that was Hollywood in the 70s - an unabashed celebration of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll (both on screen and off) and a climate where innovation and experimentation reigned supreme.

"Peter Biskind's great, scathing, news-packed history...is one hell of an elixir - salty with flavorsome gossip, sour with the aftertaste of misspent careers, intoxicating with one revelation after another...an 'A.'" (Entertainment Weekly)
"Bitchy and Sensationalist intrigue from Hollywood"
This is great value for money, its a long and interesting listen.
A friend recommended this book years ago and I couldn't get into it. But it really works as an audio book.
No one really comes out of this book well apart from perhaps Jack Nicholson. These great women and men are reduced to ego-maniac, childish bullies and nerds. Biskind's style is very sensationalist,scurrilous and yet compelling.
The narrator is superb and his delivery is measured, waspish and hilarious.
A great listen.
