Mix yourself a faux cocktail and PASS ON THIS BOOK! Everything about it is faux. So disappointed to learn it was writtten by Carson's 20 year long attorney. Where is the ethics? Shame on Bushkin. Obviously written with much bitterness towards his former client and "friend" after he was fired, and his career, and marriage went down the drain. Its hard to take serious an author that can recall so many long conversations verbatim from 30 years ago. Made me immediately suspect. Its far too much about Bushkin and how Johnny corrupted him than it is about revealing anything new about Carson. The book and the author only reveal their own shallowness. As Bushkin himself says "he was my ticket." At least Carson had the balls to end the relationship face to face, what Bushkin does here is backstabbing.
