Here's the Story; The $trip

"Here's the Story" by Maureen McCormick chronicled her life on the "Brady Bunch" (my all-time favorite TV show as a kid--I used to go around telling people I played Cindy when I was six or so), her drug addiction, her marriage, and the death of her mom. I was really hoping for more Brady dish, like Barry Williams' book "Growing Up Brady", which I read years ago. It was good, just not what I wanted.
"The $trip" by E. Duke Vincent wasn't very good. Fiction set in Las Vegas in 1980, the characters were stereotypical and one dimensional and the plot was thin at best. I found myself struggling to get through it, and it was a very short book. Once again, just because it's set in Vegas doesn't mean it's awesome, unfortunately.
