Book Reviews of The Mirror Effect: How Celebrity Narcissism Is Seducing America
Book Review: Dr. Drew is a hypocrite
Summary: 1 Stars
First off, the majority of the book is nothing more than a recap of celebrity gossip over the past 15 years. With an cheap narcisism survey thrown in at the end that looks like something I could find online at [..]
Second, I find it really hypocritical that a man with two reality shows and a radio segment is writing a book complaining about the scourge of narcissism our celebrity obsessed culture has created. He's directly contributing to the problem. I don't care if he's providing the people on his shows with legitamate therapy. He's still exploiting thier pain, and thier longing to be in front of a camera for his own ratings. It's sick
If Dr. Drew really cared about his patients, or the perverted effect they have on our culture, he would've never agreed to do his reality shows. He's just as bad as the people he treats.
