This book was quite good (in the informative, fact-filled sense), but I think I wanted more from each of the profiles. Of course, it's not really fair to say that because the book does exactly what it says it's going to provide: a madcap story of sex, style, celebrity, and modern femininity. It delivers there, hitting all the high points of a brand of girl (because few flappers were women, really) who inhabited and represented a specific moment in time, and was ultimately snuffed out by economics (see also 1929, the year banks broke)--and in Europe, war.
