  It’s impossible to stop reading this wonderful evocation of the lost era of the 70s and the incredible story of Allan Carr. Filled with great gossip and almost unbelievable tales, but never nasty or snarky. As the previous reviewer said, it would make a terrific movie–or better, mini-series–but don’t wait for that–read the book now!

  Hofler writes about the wild 1970s party scene in Hollywood as if it
  
  were a Harold Robbins novel — only
  
  all true.And better! Who knew? Everyone,it seems!

  PS The behind-the-scenes expose of the making of the Village People’s Can’t
  
  Stop the Music movie would make a great movie.

  This bio is a lot of fun and reads like a novel, but is also well-researched. It seems Hofler talked to everyone whoever knew Allan Carr. “Party Animals” is an effective followup to the author’s previous biography, “The Man Who Invented Rock Hudson,” about agent Henry Willson. “Party Animals” is about another marginal life in Hollywood, but one with real significance. Carr was at the center of Hollywood’s party scene for over a decade, and then paid the price when he produced an Oscars telecast that did not meet with the establishment approval. Carr, however, was the one that created the red carpet hoopla that epitomizes today’s awards shows. He deserves to be remembered.
