Train Wreck: The Life and Death of Anna Nicole Smith

by Tiefenthaler, Henrietta, Henrietta Tiefenthaler, Donna Hogan, et al.

She was the most outlandish, outrageous, in-your-face symbol of the age-- and suddenly, shockingly, she was gone. In life her antics, adventures, and behavior kept a nation riveted; in death she stunned a world gripped by the surprise and swiftness of her unexpected passing. The woman was, of course, Anna Nicole Smith. With fierce resolve, pluck, luck, and determination, Anna clawed her way to celebrity status, first by landing a centerfold in Playboy...

Customer Reviews

Worst written book I have read. The introduction is confusing father daughter auntie brothers dad mo

This book starts talking about Anna Nichols (Vicky) relatives. I Could not understand who was who lost me. She married a 86 year old rich man for his money. And used him for everything she wanted. It talks about b how she treated him and how she would come on to her dad. Anna's sister Donna appears to be a gold digger she went to any media that wanted to talk with. Then its all about Donna. I am at the end and its back to Anna. Shame on Donna...she continued saying she wanted no money but she took advantage of being Anna's sister. Donna used every way to trash her sister! Shameful! Horrible book I would not recommend it!

Train Wreck

I thought this book was very interesting. I have never been a fan of Anna but found this book to be a good read.I now understand Anna a little better and see that she really had a very sad life. If you are a fan or not this is a good book.

Love you Anna!!!!

Good book, I ordered it the second it came out. Very nice cover and image, beautiful packaging. Donna Hogan is a decent writer. I think she might have been false on a few things but over all it was good and worthwhile for Die-hard Anna fans like myself. I LOVE ANNA NICOLE!!!!!!! Been her biggest fan since she came out. She is the most beautiful creature to have ever graced this planet and it is a shame she is gone. Rest is Peace Beautiful and keep the books comin!!!!!

Great Book Very Insightfull

Donna Hogans is very honest and gives a detailed story of Anna Nicole's life and family. This is a book you should read yourself to see what it is about. The negative reviews seem to come from Anna Nicole's "extremist fan club", which are very biased. At first I was not going to buy the book because of those reviews, but I'm glad I did as my opinion of the book is obviously different.

Compelling, revealing, honest, backed by facts.

I found Donna's book to be compelling. I was delighted that it was well written by a competent author. I found the view from Donna's eyes to be caring, loving, compassionate, empathetic, filled with sadness, a sense of helplessness and a genuine desire to develop a clear insight into the complicated life and toxic relationships and debris left behind by sister Vickie. I want to know Donna and befriend her. I feel proud of her achievements having survived such a confusing and dysfunctional life while retaining her integrity and strong ethical sense of character. In no way did I find Donna to be unfair to Anna or others as she presented her experiences in a reporter's style without adding her conclusions or judgments. I find her portrayal to be entirely believable and hope that Donna is at peace with the knowledge that there was nothing further that she could have done to save Anna and Daniel from their demons. Donna shows no signs of self-aggrandizement, resentment or envy and seems admirably to have her healthy value system very much intact.

A WILD TALE WELL TOLD

I DID NOT EXPECT ANYTHING OTHER THAN ANOTHER REHASH. I WAS HYPNOTIZED BY THE STORY AND THE TELLING AND HOW THE ALL PIECES WERE CARVED SOMETIMESW WITH HACHET INTO PLACE.IT MADE CARE AND UNDERSTAMD ANNA NICOLE MORE THAN I EVER HAVE.
