Editorial Review:
The turbulent times of one of the world's most beautiful women.
Kate Moss entered the modeling scene with a force that belied her fragile frame. Discovered completely by chance at New York's JFK airport, Moss was propelled to international stardom with her waif-like figure and hauntingly seductive features, launching the infamous "heroin chic" look that dominated the modeling world of the nineties. But living the fast-paced life of an international sex symbol took its toll, and Moss spiraled down into the chaotic celebrity lifestyle of nonstop partying that landed her first in the tabloids, then in rehab. Here, for the first time, is the shocking true story of the passion and pain hiding behind one of the most famous faces in the world.
Kate Moss: Model of Imperfection Reviews:
Kate is a fashion icon!:) 
2008-07-19 - Despite what people may say about Kate Moss she is an amazing model and fashion icon her style is like no one else out there and her bad girl image is also here. she is a business woman at that she not only has her own clothing line for Top Shop by Kate Moss . She also has her own fragrance. She is comming out with her own makeup line as well:). I really like her alot she is an amazing model and I adore her style.:) You will love this book she talks about her relationships with rocker Pete Doraty and the Actor very cute Johnny Depp.:) It is a good book.
The author...
2007-01-06 - of this book is one of the greatest authors ever for unauthorized biographies of super models who used to be famous.
I read the book, it was very informative, I liked it.
Title should have been- Kate's Ex Boyfriend 
2006-03-26 - This book should be called "Johnny Depp" because it is more about her relationship with him than about herself. I expected a biography on her life but it's about how this super-waif got famous and then those who made her famous turned against her. Then the rest of the book was about her unhappy relationship with Johnny Depp. I really like Kate Moss and would like to have read a book about her...not her ex-boyfriend.
so-so story of iconic model
2006-03-22 - my friends all just read this and we're all disappointed in it, maybe someone who knows less about kate moss would get more from it. it IS articulate and factual, and it's not that it's BAD writing, it just didn't give us anything new to talk about. i wish there were other biographies - even if totally sensationalized! - about kate moss out there!
my recommendation? maybe a good beach-time or bus-ride read, but don't expect anything revealing.
mediocre at best
2006-03-21 - My friends and I just read this as part of our new "Fashion-Group Book Club"...I didn't dislike it as much as they did, but it does give one reason to marvel at how much completely unspectacular writing and recycled bollocks make it to publication. It even came to us recommended so I'm surprised at how just-not-good it is. Even the pictures, the best part, are all ones I swear I've seen a million times before. So, if you're looking for photos of Kate, I remember a book that came out on her in the nineties, a lot more expensive of course, but that one was excellent. "Model of Imperfection": not recommended!
