I hate being misled as to what a book contains, and this one is guilty as hell. The title and the back cover would have you expect a real slide from success and friendship to desolation and loneliness, but that is not what actually happens. What Young actually does, according to the book (and, let's be clear, I have no trust whatsoever in that anything in this book is true), is have sex with one beautiful woman after another, and in the end marries one of them, who also happens to be 10 years younger than him. And far from being friendless, on every page there seems to pop up a new friend of his. And he certainly brags enough about his income to eliminate any possibily of his being broke.
