About this title

Review:

"Killingly observed. Dissecting Warhol with an amiable but sharp wit, Mr. Colacello also manages to give him more of a human dimension than anyone else." --The New York Times

"By far the best of Andy Warhol's portraits, including his own." --George Plimpton

"A must-read for anyone who wants to understand the genius master-minding of fame, the artistic value in what was derided as commercial, and the iconic personalities, featuring Sylvia Miles, Paul Morrissey, Fran Lebowitz, Brigid Berlin, Mick Jagger, Diane von Furstenberg, and Paulette Goddard, among the many names dropped in these pages, Holy Terror is a fascinating record of an art era American Dream." --The Huffington Post

"An entertaining, hilarious book. . . . Widely regarded as the essential look at life inside the Warhol parade." --Flavorwire

"Compelling. . . . Perceptive, intuitive, and amusing." --New York Daily News

"This is a first-rate sweeping memoir of an astonishing cultural phenomenon. . . . Gossipy, gutsy, and gripping . . . A work of startling immediacy and convincing honesty." --Kirkus Reviews
