    Intriguing!!
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2015*

Lived through the Profumo crisis as a teenager.  The adult population saw Christine Keeler as the epitome of wickedness, "having seduced and destroyed one of our finest politicians."  Even then I was at a loss to understand this point of view, Profumo being married, middle-aged and in a position of great authority whilst  Christine Keeler was an 18 year old finding her way in the big city and following the example of the many  rich and powerful people she was to meet.  She comes across as a naive, falling for the same lies and associating with those who had previously let her down, but I do think she was badly treated. Long after the politicians and upper classes rogues involved had been forgiven her name was still a dirty word. Don't think I believe absolutely everything in the book and know that my parents would have thought it all lies, but since those days in the sixties when people respected and believed those in authority, so many scandals and so many lies have been revealed that it's difficult to ignore or dismiss all the allegations.  If you were alive when it happened you will be intrigued by this book, if you are younger you might wonder what all the fuss was about!  This book leads us to believe the sexual escapades of the time were hyped up to hide more serious crimes which were never fully investigated.

    Intersting insight into the scandal that rocked Britain in the 1960's
  

*by H***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2018*

The book provides an interesting perspective on the infamous Profumo affair and the associated sensational and very promiscuous activities around that time.  The narrative is, of course, from her personal perspective and as such is biased.  However, the personal bias is always obvious and her matter of fact descriptions of her activities and roles she played are most interesting.  Christine Keeler comes across as a somewhat naive person who leads a disorganised life and is not a good money manager.  Perhaps that is harsh considering her childhood background and the fact that when this all started she was only 17.  At times, however, she showed remarkable maturity.  She was then part of the sexual revolution that occurred in the early 1960's and she was certainly a promiscuous member of that era.  The style of writing is not sophisticated and would not rate a single star but the content is what makes it interesting.  I am currently reading what could almost be described as a companion book; "How the English Establishment Framed Stephen Ward".  Many of the events described in that book and Christine Keeler's book tally but the interpretation of events is often quite dissimilar.

    i was expecting something different!
  

*by C***L on Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2013*

Quite enjoyed reading it even if it was NOT what I expected.  At the time the Profumo 'scandal' made such an impression on me because, like Andrew Lloyd Webber, I never really understood why it was as 'awful' as everyone made out. I felt for Stephen Ward and the girls.  Reading Christine Keeler's own version of events, I would be hearing how it really went and Ward would come out rehabilitated. Not so!!! According to this version of the story he was even more of a villain than the establishment and media made out at the time! Hmmmm...Interesting...and puzzling that noone's even bothered to bash the book, for whatever reason. What does that tell us, if anythinf?  Now I shall just have to read the Robertson book with the Ward rehabilitation angle.
