Editorial Review:
YOU PROBABLY THINK YOU KNOW ALL THERE IS TO KNOW.
ANNA NICOLE SMITH LOST HER SON.
SHE ACCIDENTALLY OVERDOSED. SHE WAS A DRUG ADDICT.
YOU DON'T KNOW A THING...
She was famous for being famous-Americana at its Scarlet Letter-wearing best. A bodacious young girl from Texas, Anna remade herself into the centerfold of the world. She was a "dumb blonde," a stripper, a Playboy Playmate, who boldly took her case against her billionaire husband's family all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Her tragic life and untimely death evoke an odd mix of fascination, shock, and dismay. And through it all, there still exists a voracious thirst to discover more about who she actually was...and how she really died.
In a book that is sure to surprise even the most avid pop culture junkies, Rita Cosby blows the lid off this astounding story. After an in-depth investigation, this is the definitive journalistic account of the Anna Nicole Smith saga-with unearthed secrets and explosive, never-before-told information.
Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith's Death Reviews:
I enjoyed this book 
2009-09-22 - Reading some of the 1 star reviews about the book and author, I kind of feel silly. Maybe I am a little ignorant to the "facts" or what was made public when she had died. But I enjoyed this book way to much too care.
I never knew much of Anna Nicole Smith, and to be completely honest, I wasn't interested in her or her life until I had read that she passed. When I opened the book and read the first page, I was sucked in and didn't put the book down until I was either too tired to read on, or done with it completely.
I learned a lot from just this one book, and I have recommended it to everybody that I know.
book
2009-08-20 - I read this book in less than 2 days! It was a good book, very detailed and lots of pictures
Wow! 
2009-06-16 - Incredible! I followed the whole story back when this ordeal was going on (I think all of America did) & this takes everything a step further! Not sure how much actual truth was involved...
A Nest of Vipers 
2009-05-12 - I just finished reading Blonde Ambition and a phrase my Grandma used instantly came to mind...what a nest of vipers! It seems to me that everyone in Anna Nicoles life but her son Daniel used her, abused her, or was out to get something from her. Less than a month before his death Daniel contacted a private investigator because he greatly feared Howard K Stern would end up killing Anna with drugs, he also asked more than one person to go with him to meet Dannielyn because he was afraid for his own life as well. No one he asked agreed to accompany him (yet these same people were suddenly able to rush to the Bahamas after his death to join the publicity circus)Daniel took his last breath with the P.I.'s card in his pocket. Sadly, his fears for himself and his Mother were justified.
Rita Cosby's reporting skills are questionable in my opinion. So many things in this book were attributed to annonymous sources that I was left with doubts about the veracity of the information I was reading. I can't say that I enjoyed this book as it was a sad commentary on a sad life. However it was interesting to read about what went on behind the scenes. Had more of the anecdotes and accusations been credited or had a way to be verified I would have added another star. All in all an interesting read but one that left me feeling sort of sickened at the things we humans are capable of doing to each other.
Finally, Anna's Story
2009-04-21 - What a great book! I thought this was interesting from start to finish. It was written in a clear and concise manner that allowed me to draw my own conclusions in the end. I believe this book willl appeal to all readers. My friends and I have spent many hours debating all aspects of Anna's life and the issues surrounding it often refering to the book for backup. I hope Miss Cosby will continue to follow drama as it unfolds and keep her fans posted.
