Janice spills the beans in only the way she can; about her life... the good; the bad; and the ugly. Yes; she talks about Warren Beatty; Jack Nicholson; and Liam Neeson; just to name a few. But this story is so much more than juicy gossip; she talks about some dark realizations about her life growing up and how that has spilled into her adult life. Even if you arent a fan; you will be by the end of this book. I loved it so much; I just downloaded her second book!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. What A Life!!By BK - Walled Lake; MIWhether it be soul-searching or jet-setting around the world sometimes at a moments noticehellip; answering the call of a friend or chasing the cover of a magazine; Janice is like a hurricane blowing in and then leaves a path of jaw-dropping destruction behind her!!!Such an agonizing journey; slowly fighting to break free from the horrifying "talons" of a sad; abusive childhood.She may have been blessed with an amazing face and body - but the depth of her love for her children is something no camera lens can ever capture...God Bless you; Janice.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. As Candid; Funny and Outrageous As the Woman Herself!By Catherine p LaVioletteJanice Dickinson is outrageous and so it makes sense her book is written in a no holds barred manner. Its highly entertaining--just like the woman herself--and also gives glimpses of vulnerability; a quality one senses lies just behind the tough girl exterior she cultivates. Of course; she dishes on the rich and famous and powerful. As a supermodel she rubbed elbows with many of them. Reading her words about others; however; I never felt she had an axe to grind and was being mean-spirited. Shes tougher on herself than she is on anyone else in her life/book. I went back and forth "should I; shouldnt I" before purchasing "No Lifeguard on Duty." I didnt know much about Janice beyond watching her on Tyra Banks model discovery show and faint memories of a paternity battle with Sylvester Stallone when she said her son was also his and he balked. I didnt want to read about a narcissists "perfect; Im so much better than you" life nor did I want to read about a "train wreck" life of drugs; alcohol; bad men and outrageous behavior. This book was a pleasant surprise b/c it was neither. Candid; yes. Funny; absolutely. Interesting; no doubt. I actually found myself applauding Janices strength and courage revealing she does indeed have a soft side and; yes; the self-doubts we all suffer from now and then. I highly recommend the book b/c; bottom line; its a captivating read; one I didnt want to put down.
